| Statutory Authority |
Pursuant to 24-33.5-1203.5, C.R.S., the Director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) shall promulgate rules and adopt codes as necessary to carry out the duties of the Division. C.R.S. 24-33.5 Part 12 directs that fire suppression systems installed in commercial and residential occupancies are designed, installed, inspected and maintained according to the codes and standards adopted by the Director of DFPC. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this rule change is to address the need to update, through amendment, the code provisions that address the use of antifreeze solutions in fire suppression systems for the purposes of freeze protection. Installation design parameters and their associated system modifications, cost of the antifreeze product, and lack of listed antifreeze product availability have created significant hardships in
complying with the provision outlined in the currently adopted edition of the code that all antifreeze systems would be required to replace the antifreeze with a “listed” antifreeze by September 30, 2022. The rule change provides relief of this hardship, while still maintaining an industry-recognized appropriate level of safety. |
