    23. Is there any post-activation purge/ventilation requirements for your system?

    There is no requirement within NFPA 2001 for a dedicated exhaust system when using DuPont™ FM-200®. NFPA requires that the post-extinguishment atmosphere be ventilated in a safe manner. With most installations, this can be accomplished by simply turning on the air handling units and allowing enough time to dissipate any smoke in a post-fire event.

    Some jurisdictions have implemented additional local requirements concerning ventilation systems. You should check with your local authorities.
