Before we start, let's clear something up: The storage, use and sale of RECYCLED Halon is not illegal. In fact, it is encouraged, and many professional fire protection services companies specialize in Halon recycling and recharge. That said, the production of NEW Halon was outlawed in 1994 under the Clean Air Act. Halon is a potent CFC and is very damaging to the atmosphere. However, since their is no known method of disposing of existing Halon supplies (and since it is such a powerful fire suppressant), recycled Halon is still a popular means of controlling fires in many commercial applications. Fun fact: the FAA requires Halon use on all commercial airlines!

No, Halon and FM-200 are not the same product. Halon refers to a class of bromine-containing compounds used in fire suppression, notably Halon 1301, which has been largely phased out due to its ozone-depleting properties. FM-200, on the other hand, is a more environmentally friendly clean agent known as HFC-227ea, which does not harm the ozone layer and is commonly used as a replacement for Halon in fire protection systems.

Which fire suppression system uses Halon?
The gas discharge fire suppression system uses Halon gas or an EPA-approved gas to replace Halon. Halon interferes with the fire's chemical combustion and does not harm computer systems, which made it a popular solution. Halon was banned in 1994, when it was discovered that it was an ozone depleting gas; however, some of these systems still exist. The replacements, known as clean-agent fire suppression systems, are carbon dioxide, argon, Inergen, and FM200.
Why is halon illegal?
Halon is harmful to the ozone layer as it contains chlorine and bromine atoms, which deplete ozone molecules.

When can halon extinguishing system be removed?

Additionally, compliance with regulations and guidelines regarding halon use and disposal must be followed during the removal process.
