HMS Application to ISO 3941:2026

1️⃣ ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVs)

Fire Risk Profile

  • High-energy battery packs in confined enclosures
  • Rapid temperature escalation
  • Limited response time before propagation
  • Vehicle may remain electrically energized

ISO 3941 Performance Focus (EV Context)

  • Thermal runaway mitigation at cell/module level
  • Heat release reduction in enclosed spaces
  • Prevention of post-incident re-ignition
  • Safe performance during energized conditions

HMS Performance Alignment

  • Rapid heat absorption addresses runaway initiation
  • Mica suspension provides thermal buffering within battery enclosures
  • Sustained cooling reduces re-ignition risk after vehicle stop
  • No dependence on oxygen displacement

EV-Specific Compliance Statement

HMS performance aligns with ISO 3941:2026 evaluation intent for lithium-ion battery fires in electrically energized and spatially constrained EV battery systems.

2️⃣ BESS / ESS YARDS (UTILITY & INDUSTRIAL)

Fire Risk Profile

  • Large battery arrays with high propagation potential
  • Extended burn duration
  • Re-ignition hours or days after suppression
  • Asset-scale consequences and site shutdowns

ISO 3941 Performance Focus (BESS Context)

  • Limitation of cell-to-cell and rack-to-rack propagation
  • Heat release control to protect adjacent systems
  • Post-suppression thermal stability
  • Support for emergency response timelines

HMS Performance Alignment

  • High heat absorption limits thermal escalation
  • Mica layer helps interrupt thermal transfer paths
  • Extended cooling assists post-suppression monitoring
  • Complements detection, isolation, and spacing strategies

BESS-Specific Compliance Statement

HMS supports ISO 3941:2026 performance objectives for thermal runaway control, propagation limitation, and re-ignition prevention in stationary energy storage installations.

3️⃣ ELECTRIC BUSES & MASS TRANSPORT

Fire Risk Profile

  • Passenger occupancy during early fire stages
  • Battery packs in roof or rear compartments
  • High consequence of delayed suppression
  • Requirement for first-response usability

ISO 3941 Performance Focus (Bus Context)

  • Rapid heat knockdown at first availability
  • Prevention of escalation beyond initial battery module
  • Safe use in confined and occupied environments
  • Reduction of secondary hazards

HMS Performance Alignment

  • Immediate cooling-based intervention
  • Reduces likelihood of runaway propagation to vehicle structure
  • Non-explosive, controlled discharge
  • Supports evacuation and emergency protocols

Bus-Specific Compliance Statement

HMS aligns with ISO 3941:2026 lithium-ion fire performance intent while supporting passenger safety and early intervention requirements in electric public transport vehicles.

4️⃣ DATA CENTERS & UPS ROOMS

Fire Risk Profile

  • Lithium-ion UPS systems replacing VRLA
  • High asset density and uptime sensitivity
  • Fire suppression must avoid collateral damage
  • Re-ignition presents severe operational risk

ISO 3941 Performance Focus (Data Center Context)

  • Thermal runaway control without total system shutdown
  • Heat reduction to prevent rack-level escalation
  • Post-event thermal stability
  • Compatibility with energized infrastructure

HMS Performance Alignment

  • Targeted heat suppression without flame spread
  • Minimal residue compared to powder agents
  • Sustained cooling lowers restart risk
  • Suitable for use prior to full electrical isolation

Data Center Compliance Statement

HMS performance characteristics align with ISO 3941:2026 evaluation criteria for lithium-ion battery fire mitigation in mission-critical facilities.
