Copy Relationship with other publications BS 7273 is published in a series of parts: rolled Part 1: Electrical actuation of gaseous total flooding extinguishing systems; Part 2: Mechamical actuation of gaseous total flooding cnd Uncontr local applicatiom extinguishing systems; Part 3: Electrical actuation of pre-action watermist and sprinkler systems; Part 4: Actuation of release mechanisms for doors E E Part 5: Electrical actuation of watermist systems. DA Parts 1 and 2 give remendations for the electrical and mechanical actuation of gaseous fire extinguishing systems respectively. Part 4 .. gives remendations for the actuation of release mechanisms for .LNAMI doors. Part 5 provides remendations for electrical actuation of watermist systems (other than pre-action watermist systems). This current part of BS 7273 provides remendations for the electrical actuation of pre-action watermist and sprinkler systems. Remendations for the design installation missioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems are given in Copy: BS 5839-1. Remendations for the design installation missioning and maintenance of sprinkler systems are given in BS EN 12845. Remendations for the design installation C missioning and maintenance of watermist systems will be given in Licensed DD 8489-1 which is currently in preparation. It is anticipated that an amendment will be issued to BS 7273-3 when DD 8489-1 is published. Information about this document This is a full revision of BS 7273-3. The principal changes from the previous edition are as follows. •The scope of the standard now includes pre-action watermist systems. References have been updated.
