1 Only applicable portions of section 8 as specified here are required. Canisters may be used in place of bags for the purposes of these requirements. A sampling and analysis procedure under section 8.2 which provides for a representative sample is required (while section 8.2.1.5 is likely most appropriate, other procedures may be acceptable). Sections 8.4.1, 8.4.2.1, and 8.4.2.2 are required.
2 "Dry basis" concentrations do not need to be recorded.
3 ASTM D6064-11 (reapproved 2022), Standard Specification for HFC-227ea, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane (CF3CHFCF3) (incorporated by reference in § 84.37 ) may be used as an alternative for non-refrigerant regulated substances offered for fire suppression use.
4 ASTM D6231/D6231M-21, Standard Specification for HFC-125 (Pentafluoroethane, C2HF5) (incorporated by reference in § 84.37 ) and ASTM D6541-21 Standard Specification for HFC-236fa, 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane, (CF3CH2CF3), (incorporated by reference in § 84.37 ) reference ASTM D6806 and may be used as an alternative for non-refrigerant regulated substances offered for fire suppression use.
