What is a clean agent fire extinguishing system?
A clean agent is any type of fire extinguishing agent that is electrically non-conductive, volatile, or gaseous, and that does not leave a residue upon evaporation. Clean agent fire suppression systems make use of an inert gas or chemical that is stored in a container and discharged when a fire is detected.

What components are included in a clean agent fire extinguishing system?
A clean agent fire suppression system is commonly made up of three parts: smoke detectors, the control panel, and notification devices. The smoke detectors work as usual and will detect a fire before it has time to escalate into an uncontrollable event.
Where is the clean agent fire suppression system?
Some examples of facilities that commonly use clean agent fire suppression systems include:
- Laboratories and medical facilities with equipment.
- Spaces that house critical building infrastructure.
- Flammable liquid storage areas.
- Museums.
- Digital data repositories and record repositories.
- Libraries.
- Telecommunication centers.
NFPA 2001 clearly defines clean agents as electrically non-conductive, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishing agents that do not leave a residue upon evaporation. Clean agent fire suppression systems help extinguish fires in their incipient stages (when they have just started).
What is the fire extinguishing system standard?
This standard contains requirements for total flooding and local application clean agent fire extinguishing systems. It is intended for use by those who purchase, design, install, test, inspect, approve, operate, and maintain engineered or pre-engineered gaseous agent fire suppression systems so they will function as intended when needed.
