About this file
This is a Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS) for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems prepared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), effective November 2023, superseding the May 2016 version.
The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for designing, procuring, installing, and testing clean agent fire suppression systems for federal facilities. Key products and materials required include UL-listed or FM-approved high-pressure cylinders, galvanized Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 ferrous piping, seamless copper tubing, and flexible metallic hose compliant with ASTM and UL standards. The system must be designed as a total-flood type per NFPA 2001, with piping to a specified flooding concentration for a designated duration. Supporting components include pressure-relief devices, low-pressure alarm switches, control panels with secondary power supply and storage batteries, manual actuation stations with dual-action release mechanisms, smoke detectors (ionization, photoelectric, or air sampling types), audible and visual alarm devices rated at minimum 90 decibels and 50 candlepower respectively, annunciator panels, and electromagnetic door holder releases. The specification mandates use of State-certified contractors and Certified Special Hazards Design Specialists (CSHDS) with Level IV NICET certification for installation and testing supervision. All work must comply with NFPA 2001, NFPA 70, and NFPA 72 standards. Installation drawings must be submitted in Microstation.dgn or AutoCAD.dwg format, with design analysis and discharge calculations verified against manufacturer specifications. Preliminary pneumatic testing at 150 psi and formal fan tests demonstrating enclosure integrity per NFPA 2001 Annex D are required, with as-built record drawings submitted upon completion. Government approval is required for all critical submittals including installation drawings, design analysis, equipment specifications, and test procedures.
