Limited Supply Suppression System

DOE-STD-1088-95

Automatic suppression systems, such as fire sprinklers, foam, gaseous, explosion

suppression, or other specialized extinguishing systems plus appropriate alarms. An

adequate supply, storage, and distribution system is an essential element.

Automatic fire detection, occupant warning, manual fire alarm, and fire alarm reporting

systems combined with properly equipped and adequately trained fire departments or

brigades.

Fire barrier systems or combinations of physical separation and barriers for outdoor

locations.

Other systems, such as alternate process control systems, as approved by the AHJ.

Limited Supply Suppression System - A system installed in accordance with the applicable NFPA

Standards and having a limited quantity of suppression agent. These systems typically include

carbon dioxide, dry chemical, other gaseous agent, or water.

Maximum Possible Fire Loss (MPFL) - The value of property, excluding land value, within a fire area,

unless a fire hazards analysis demonstrates a lesser (or greater) loss potential. This assumes the

failure of both automatic fire suppression systems and manual fire fighting efforts.

Noncombustible - A material that in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated

will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subjected to fire or heat,

as defined by fire protection industry standards on the basis of large scale fire tests performed by a

nationally recognized independent fire test authority.

Occupancy - Occupancy classification, construction, and area limitations of relocatable structures as

determined under the provisions of the applicable local building code or the Uniform Building Code

unless otherwise specified by the DOE AHJ.

Relocatable Structure - Manufactured structures, mobile homes, trailers, semi-trailers, modular type

structures, factory assembled structures, cargo containers, hazardous materials or flammable liquid

storage containers, air supported/inflated structures, tent/membrane and cloth/rib structures. This

term does not apply to trailers and cargo containers that are being used in the transportation mode
