4 Classifications, codes and model specifications
4.1 Classifications and codes
The main classifications and codes of foam concentrates are shown in Table 1.
4.2 Model specifications
The method for compiling the model specifications of foam extinguishing agents is as
follows.
EXAMPLE 1.3% (P, -10 °C) means a protein foam extinguishing agent with a mixing ratio of 3%, a
freezing point of -10 °C, and is suitable for fresh water.
EXAMPLE 2.6% (AFFF, -15 °C)-Seawater resistant means an aqueous film-forming foam
extinguishing agent with a mixing ratio of 6%, a freezing point of -15 °C, and is suitable for both fresh
water and seawater.
5 Requirements
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 If the foam concentrate is suitable for use with seawater, the concentration of the
foam solution prepared with seawater shall be the same as that prepared with fresh water.
5.1.2 The raw materials and production process of the foam concentrate shall meet the
requirements of human health, safety and environmental protection.
5.1.3 Foam concentrates of different model specifications or produced by different
processes shall not be mixed when filling fire extinguishers, fire trucks and fire
extinguishing systems are filled or when fire extinguishing equipment is repaired.
5.2 Technical requirements
5.2.1 Low expansion foam concentrate
5.2.1.1 The physical and chemical properties of low expansion foam concentrate or
foam solution shall comply with the requirements of Table 2.
6 Test methods

Whether sampling from one container or from multiple containers, stir thoroughly. Fill
the storage container with the sample and seal it.
6.1.2 Temperature treatment
The foam concentrate shall be temperature-treated according to the following steps.
a) If the manufacturer declares that the sample is not affected by freeze-thaw, the
sample shall first be subjected to four freeze-thaw cycles according to 6.3, and
then processed according to 6.1.2b);
b) Place the sample sealed in the container in an environment at (60±2) °C for 7
days, and then place it in an environment at (20±5) °C for 1 day;
c) If the manufacturer declares that the sample is subject to freeze-thaw, only
process the sample according to 6.1.2b).

6.2.2 Test steps
The freezing point test for the foam concentrate shall be carried out according to the
following steps.
a) Turn on the freezing point test equipment and stabilize the temperature of the
cold chamber at (10±1) °C below the freezing point of the sample;
b) Inject the sample into the dry, clean inner tube so that the liquid level is
approximately 50 mm;
c) Use a cork or rubber stopper to fix the platinum resistor in the center of the
inner tube, with the lower end of the platinum resistor 10 mm away from the
sample liquid surface;
d) Place the inner tube containing the sample into the outer tube, with the distance
from the bottom of the inner tube to the bottom of the outer tube not exceeding
10 mm. Then place the outer tube into the cold chamber, with the depth of the
outer tube in the cold chamber not less than 100 mm.
e) Start the test, and the equipment automatically records the temperature-time
curve;
f) When the sample is completely frozen, read the temperature at the platform of
the curve as the freezing point;
g) Repeat the test and take the higher value of the two test results with a
difference of no more than 1 °C as the measurement result.

b) Adjust the temperature of the low-temperature box to (10±1) °C below the
freezing point of the sample;
c) Place the sample that meets the requirements of 6.1.1 into a plastic or glass
container, seal it, and place it in a low-temperature box. Keep it at the
temperature specified in 6.3.2b) for 24 hours. After freezing, remove the
