         CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
 
PART 34_FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart 34.15_Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, Details
 
Sec. 34.15-1  Application--T/ALL.


    (a) Where a carbon dioxide extinguishing system is installed, the 
provisions of this subpart, with the exception of Sec. 34.15-90, shall 
apply to all installations contracted for on or after January 1, 1962. 
Installations contracted for prior to January 1, 1962, shall meet the 
requirements of Sec. 34.15-90.
    (b) The requirements of this subpart are based on a ``high pressure 
system,'' i.e., one in which the carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form 
at atmospheric temperature. Details for ``low pressure systems,'' i.e., 
those in which the carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form at a 
continuously controlled low temperature, may be specifically approved by 
the Commandant where it is demonstrated that a comparable degree of 
safety and fire extinguishing ability is achieved.
