21、00 r 200: (50 10) % r 400: 95 % III 100 r 200: (50 10) % r 400: 70 % aFor tank showers the water distribution of Class III applies irrespective of the volume flow rate (see also 4.3.3). 5 DIN 12899-3:2009-04 4.2 Flow rate of water 4.2.1 Plumbed-in body showers The water supplied by plumbed-in body s

22、howers shall be of a constant flow rate discharged overhead in accordance with one of the three classes given in Table 1 at a flow pressure to be specified by the manufacturer. The plumbed-in body shower shall be capable of delivering this supply for a minimum of 15 minutes. NOTE Attention is drawn

23、to possible national regulations concerning the volume flow rate. During the type test (see 4.3.1), the flow pressure shall be measured with a fully opened valve at the point where the shower is connected to the water supply. The measured value shall be indicated in the manufacturers information. If

24、 plumbed-in body showers have two or more shower heads, the total water volume flow rate shall be at least 100 L/min; a minimum of (30 5) L/min thereof shall discharge over the head of the user. 4.2.2 Tank showers The water that is discharged by the tank shower shall be an overhead water volume flow

25、 rate out of the three classes according to Table 1. The tank shower shall be capable of delivering this supply for a minimum of 15 minutes. Flow pressure, max. deviation of water volume flow rate and the duration of water flow shall be specified by the manufacturer and shall be declared in the manu

26、facturers information (see clause 8). 4.2.3 Combination showers For combination showers the respective specified water volume flow rate shall be maintained during simultaneous actuation of both the body shower and the eye wash unit for at least 15 minutes. The emergency safety eye wash unit and its

27、water flow rate shall comply with DIN EN 15154-2. 4.3 Water distribution 4.3.1 Type test The water distribution of emergency body showers for production and logistic sites shall be measured by the following type test procedure. 4.3.2 Body showers of classes I and II At a distance 700 mm below the sh

28、ower head, (50 10) % of the volume of water delivered shall fall in a circle with a radius r of 200 mm (see Figure 1); the water level in the individual compartments of this circle shall not deviate by more than 30 % from the mean value. At this measuring level, the area reached by a minimum of 95 %

29、 of the water shall be limited to a circle with a radius r of 400 mm. The velocity of the water spray shall be low enough to be non-injurious to the user. NOTE All details of this type test procedure are in accordance with the test procedure for laboratory showers given in DIN EN 15154-1. 6 DIN 1289
