Commissioning Method Statement
FM200 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

1. Introduction
This method statement is applicable to all activities related to installation of FM200 System installed in LV
room. Works shall be conducted in conformance with relevant project drawings/ specifications, authorities
concerned, Manufacturer Recommendations and good industry practices .

1.1. Purpose

This document includes the procedures for the testing of the FM200 System within the frame of the Mina
Zayed Fish Market (MZFM) project, located in Abu Dhabi.

1.2. Scope

The testing of the FM200 System shall be carried out by Al Rasheediah Safety & Security as per the procedures
set out within this document.

2. Pre-requisites to Procedures
Contractor to list all dependencies in exact detail including when this will be required in the sequence of their
commissioning activities. Consequences of failure to achieve these dependencies should also be highlighted
here. Below samples

2.1. Ensure test and commissioning method statement is approved (as detailed in the attached ITP)
2.2. Ensure material submittals are approved (as detailed in the attached ITP)
2.3. Ensure the shop drawings/schedules are approved (as detailed in the attached ITP)
2.4. Ensure the MIR and installation is complete and approved as per the approved drawings (as detailed
in the attached ITP)
2.5. Ensure the test equipment is provided with valid calibration and in good working order complete
with all necessary equipment.
2.6. Ensure the test equipment has undergone monthly equipment check in line with project HSE
procedures to ensure operational and in safe working order
2.7. Ensure the calibration certificate is present throughout testing and witnessing activities.
2.8. Ensure those responsible for carrying out the test have fully read and understood the test
procedures by the use of tool box talk.
2.9. Ensure all HSE (where necessary) have been met and complied with prior to commencement of
testing.
2.10. Ensure any safety controls are adhered to (such as LOTO, permits etc.)

3. Design Parameters

3.1. FM 200 is a halocarbon agent accepted as an alternative to halon for total flooding fire suppression
systems. After receiving the fire signal, FM 200 is discharged totally from the cylinders within 10
seconds to fill up the space uniformly at the design concentration to extinguish the fire. The agent is
retained at its design concentration in the space for a period-called 'Hold Time'-to extinguish the fire.
3.2. For the design of the system, NFPA Code 2001, "Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems"
is followed.
3.3. 7% Concentration is considered as per above code.
