Will my new clean agent system be eventually “banned” like Halon was?
Halon is not “banned”. New Halon systems can no longer be installed and most of the existing systems cannot be modified. Halon is no longer being produced; however, in some cases, your existing Halon system can be recharged using reclaimed (used) gas. There is no information regarding the banning of alternative or “new clean agent” systems. The agents that are sold today are the cleanest and most environmentally friendly fire suppression systems ever produced. There is no way to predict the future requirements that will be adopted by groups like the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) or NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), but in our opinion, the new clean agent gases will be available for decades to come.
