7.5.1 The fire hazard areas should be provided
with an approved automatic fire detection system to indicate at the
control station the location of outbreak of a fire in all normal operating
conditions of the installations.
7.5.2 Fire hazard areas should be protected by
an approved remotely controlled, fixed, quick acting, extinguishing
system which is adequate for the fire hazard that may exist. Administrations
should also consider the need for providing local manual control,
having regard to the reliability of the remote control system.
7.5.3 Control stations, accommodation spaces and
fire hazard areas should be provided with approved portable fire extinguishers
readily available, to the satisfaction of the Administration.
7.5.4 Water fire pumps, and appropriate associated
equipment, or alternative effective fire extinguishing systems to
the satisfaction of the Administration should be fitted.
7.5.5 A continuous fire patrol should be maintained
in special category spaces, unless an automatic fire detection system
is provided.
7.5.6 If the same automatic fire detection system
is used both for the protection of the fire hazard areas and other
spaces, the cables to which the sensors are connected should be independent.
