The fire suppression characteristics of a selection of clean extinguishing agents were examined employing Underwriters Laboratories Standards UL 2166 (halocarbon agents) and UL 2127 (inert gas agents). Agents tested included HFC-227ea (FM-200~(~R)), HFC-23, HFC-125, NAF-S-III, Inergen (IG-541), and nitrogen. The most challenging fires in terms of the concentration of agent required for the halocarbon agents were the PMMA plastic sheet fires. In contrast, for the inert gas agents the most challenging fire was found to be the wood crib fire; at concentrations capable of readily extinguishing the plastic sheet fires, the inert gas agents were unable to provide sufficient cooling to prevent re-ignition of the wood crib following a 10-min soak period.
