No. EN 2:1992 + A1:2004 EEN 2:1992 BSI 3 November 2004 2 Foreword This classification of fires was first established by CEN in 1968 in the Unification Document CENTRI 2/U1. I
17、t was subsequently submitted to ballot in November 1971 with a view to its translation into a European Standard, and adopted by CEN on 21 June 1972. On 19 March 1984 CEN adopted an amendment to EN 2 consisting of an addition of an introduction which has been extracted in whole from ISO 3941 (1977).
18、This amendment was considered useful and was requested by CEN/TC 70 at its meeting on 25/26 March 1982 in Milan, as certain countries use or have used a specific class of fire to designate fires in live electrical installations. At its meeting held in Paris on 29/30 January 1992 CEN/TC 70 has reconf
19、irmed EN 2 without modifications. This version supersedes EN 2:1972. In accordance with the Common CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,

In consequence it does not define
25、a particular class of fire involving an electrical risk. 1 Scope The present document classifies in four categories the different kinds of fires which can be defined in terms of the nature of the fuel. Such a classification is particularly useful in the context of fire fighting by means of an exting
26、uisher. 2 Definition and designation of classes of fires The following designations are for the purpose of classifying fires of different natures and of simplifying spoken and written reference to them: Class A: fires involving solid materials, usually of an organic nature, in which combustion norma
27、lly takes places with the formation of glowing embers. Class B: fires involving liquids or liquefiable solids. Class C: fires involving gases. Class D: fires involving metals. Class F: fires involving cooking media (vegetable or animal oils and fats) in cooking appliances.EN 2:1992 4 BSI 3 November
