3430 Guidance on fire, combustible gas and toxic gas detection system development

Overview:

The purpose of Guidance on fire, combustible gas and toxic gas detection system development is intended to provide guidance on the development and maintenance of an effective and fit-for-purpose fire and gas detection system. The guidance is aimed to provide a consistent approach, applicable for both onshore and offshore environments.

It is intended to be used by:

− Operators of sites handling fluids with potential for significant fire, combustible gas or toxic gas risks.
− Health and safety practitioners involved in the hazard analysis of facilities and the subsequent designation of fire and gas detection requirements.
− Engineering designers involved in the development of fire and gas detection philosophies and subsequent performance assessment.
− Regulators.
− Manufacturers of fire and gas detection systems.
− Other stakeholders involved in detector R&D, applications and management.
