Specifies requirements for automatic explosion extinguishing systems for roadheader machines (selective cut heading machines) in roadheader drivages where these systems automatically detect the initial phase of a firedamp explosion which has been initiated by the cutter head of a roadheader machine and extinguish it at the roadhead in such a way that the roadway drivage team is not put at risk.
