dance with the USCG test procedure. When a designated flame arrester
has passed the prescribed tests, it is listed as Approved in the Factory
Mutual Research Approval Guide. Lists of FM-approved flame arresters
can be obtained from FM upon request.
DDAs which are UL listed/classified or FM approved are contained in a
published list. In addition to passing the basic approved/testing protocols,
FM approved or UL listed/classified devices will have follow-up inspections/reviews to ascertain that the tested design has not been modified, and
that the devices are constructed according to the original design. USCG
approved devices are not listed and have no follow-up service.
