Final report

You will receive a final report from us, giving you recommendations for further action. 

We check the following for you: 

• if the existing proportioner is suitable for the new foam agent 
• if the existing suction line is suitable for the new foam agent
• which further action must be taken regarding the proportioner
• how you can make your existing proportioner fit to handle the new foam agent.

You will receive a final report from us, giving recommendations for further action. This can include cleaning, modification or a recommendation to install a new proportioner.

• Most fluorine-free foam agents can be very high-viscous, which can adversely affect the proportioner as well as the fire extinguishing system as a whole.
• When designing a new system or retrofitting for fluorine-free foam agents, the compatibility of the proportioner with the foam agent and the fire extinguishing system should be checked carefully.
• If necessary, the proportioner must be replaced to ensure that the required proportioning rates are achieved also with the new fluorine-free foam agents.

The following EU regulations for limit values of fluorine constituents in foam agents currently apply:

• Since 4th July 2020: According to EU Regulation 2019/1021 (POPs Regulation) and Regulation (EU) 2017/1000, foam agents containing more than 25 ppb (0.025 mg/kg) of PFOA or one of its salts or more than 1 ppm (1 mg/kg, 1000 ppb) of individual PFOA precursor compounds must no longer be marketed in the EU.
• 1st January 2023 to 3rd July 2025: Use is permitted only if the extinguishing water can be completely collected and disposed of in accordance with the law after use.
• From 4th July 2025: Use is no longer permitted.
