NG ETOPS controlling factor

Hi

When certified the NG is 180mins ETOPS. Is this because of the cargo fire suppression factor or is it something else?

I thought it would be only 60mins, based on the duration that the battery can give you in the event of double generator failure or does Boeing deem this as very very unlikely, hence the cargo fire extinguisher path.

Regards

Tom
