- Abstract
- This technical note presents the updated version of the minimum performance standards (MPS) that a Halon 1301 replacement or alternate system for aircraft cargo compartment must meet as part of the aircraft certification procedures. This standard considers gaseous and nongaseous fire suppression systems for full-scale fire testing. The Federal Aviation Administration developed this MPS in conjunction with the International Aircraft Fire Protection Systems Working Group (formerly know as the International Halon Replacement Working Group).
