Your Responsibilities... To Your Assets
 By its nature, Halon is used to protect highly sensitive and valuable equipment. From the end of 2002 these assets will be vulnerable. Should any system discharge either by accident or to deal with a fire incident it will be illegal to recharge it. Until a new system can be purchased, installed and commissioned your most valuable equipment will be unprotected.
There is no true 'drop in' replacement for Halon currently available, so selecting an alternative will require careful planning, including a review of practical alternatives and acomplete redesign of the existing system.
Where protection of vital equipment is reliant upon a Halon system, it is unlikely that insurance cover will be obtained after 2002 since this protection cannot be regarded as a permanent solution. Insurance cover may be dependent upon an agreed timetable for the replacement of the Halon system.
