The purpose of this document is to set out key facts about water mist as a firefighting technology. The document will define water mist and provide a brief history, discuss classifications and explain how water mist works, and how water mist is used for different types of applications based on large-scale fire testing. It will also cover design, installation, operation and maintenance standards.
The purpose of this document is not to replicate information that exists in standards but to explain the context in which they have been drafted, their objectives and limitations.
It is meant to be a useful document for those who specify and design automatic fire suppression systems, those who have a role in approving these, or who simply want to learn more.
