Selection of Fire Control and Suppression Methods

The easiest way to document the selection process is to prepare a table of the materials involved and the required extinguishing methods. Tables 3 and 4 provide examples of documentation that is prepared in the industry. Fire Risk Hazardous Zone drawings are prepared using published literature on commodity hazards and extinguishing methods (Ref. NFPA 325M).
