This AS establishes minimum requirements for halocarbon clean agent hand-held fire extinguishers carried aboard civil aircraft. The requirements include: design (cylinder, valve, gauge, mounting equipment), performance (firefighting effectiveness - hidden fire test, discharge test, type, etc.), environmental (ozone depleting/global warming potential, atmospheric life span), and occupant safety concerns (toxicology - seat fire test). This AS has been revised to include an additional fire extinguisher rating (Type 4) to eliminate an inconsistency between this document and FAA Advisory Circular 20-42D and other clarifications were made to better align this document with EASA ETSO-2C515. Various format changes were also made to the References section to bring this AS up to date with current SAE standards.
