- for the making inert of existing manned communication and command centres of the armed forces or others, essential for national security,

- for the making inert of spaces where there may be a risk of dispersion of radioactive matter,

- in the Channel Tunnel and associated installations and rolling stock.

Use of halon 1211:

- in hand-held fire extinguishers and fixed extinguisher equipment for engines for use on board aircraft,

- in aircraft for the protection of crew compartments, engine nacelles, cargo bays and dry bays,

- in fire extinguishers essential to personal safety used for initial extinguishing by fire brigades,
