Finally I have found the file in my webs for the

English version of the very severe standard of

the approval of dry chemical, which no makers

in korea

actually keeps this standard and strangely

www.kfi.or.kr approved the currently produced

dry chemical from www.sw21.com and only one

other maker of Samsung BangJae.....

I will try to compare the products of

www.sw21.com and other products from

Samsung BangJae<not one and quite different

fromn very famous group of Samsung

Electronics> whether their

products are qualified with this so tight

standard of dry chemical....

Anyhow please check whether you can make

the dry chemical in accordance with this crazy

Standard....

For your reference, KOFEIS means

Kfiwww.kfi.or.kr

I asked the standard for AFFF two weeks ago

to them, but still not any answer from

www.kfi.or.kr as they are very afraid or

hesitating to give me the standard..... I will

push them once again on Tuesday.
