Automatic fire-extinguishing systems shall comply with _______________ or other equivalent standards and shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the listing.

• A. NFPA 12
• B. UL 300
• C. ANSI/UL 300
• D. ISO 9001

Answer: (C)

Automatic fire-extinguishing systems for cooking operations are expected to meet a recognized standard and be installed according to the listing. The standard that applies here is ANSI/UL 300, which specifically covers the performance, design, testing, and installation requirements for automatic extinguishing systems used with commercial cooking equipment. This standard ensures the system will reliably extinguish fires in the cooking area and that all components, nozzles, detection, and actuation work together as tested. The listing by UL (or an equivalent recognized standard) provides detailed installation instructions, and the system must be installed in accordance with those listing requirements to maintain safety and effectiveness. NFPA 12 refers to clean-agent extinguishing systems in general, not to cooking-area systems. ISO 9001 is a quality-management standard and does not address fire-extinguishing system performance or installation. Therefore ANSI/UL 300 is the appropriate standard for this type of automatic system.
