EN 14470, Fire safety storage cabinets, consists of the following parts: Part 1: Safety storage cabinets for flammable liquids Part 2: Safety cabinets for pressurised gas cylinders According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followin
18、g countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,

20、ers at normal room temperature. The cabinet is designed and constructed to ensure that in the event of fire, the contents of the cabinet do not contribute any additional risks or spread the fire for at least 15 minutes. The cabinet is also designed and constructed to ventilate minor gas leakage with
21、in the cabinet. Testing the cabinet under fire conditions is a normative part of this standard and the procedures and interpretation of the tests are described in detail. The fire rating allows time for personnel to leave and fire fighters to enter the area before the pressurised gas cylinders becom
22、e unstable. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Wed Apr 11 01:44:30 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 14470-2:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard is a product specification, giving performance requirements for fire safety cabinets used for storing pressurised gas cylinders. It is applicabl
23、e to cabinets with a total internal volume suitable to store pressurised gas cylinders with a total volume not exceeding 220 l, including cylinders of purging gases. NOTE 1 This means that up to four gas cylinders of 50 l or up to three gas cylinders of 70 l can be stored in a single cabinet. NOTE 2
24、 It is intended that the pressurised gas cylinders can be in use while in the cabinet. NOTE 3 Attention is drawn to national regulations which can apply with regard to the storage and use of pressurised gas cylinders. NOTE 4 The safety cabinet can be free standing, restrained to a wall or mounted on
25、 wheels or castors. This standard is not applicable to brick enclosures, walk-in storage rooms or cabinets which do not take their weight on their base. Requirements are given in respect to the construction of the cabinet and its capacity to resist fire conditions on the outside. A type test is incl
26、uded, which is based on the already existing fire resistance (heating curve) tests given in EN 14470-1. The tests described in this European Standard are type tests (for the storage of flammable liquids EN 14470-1 is applicable the criteria for failure are different see Annex A). 2 Normative referen
27、ces The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

32、 of the cabinet do not contribute any additional risks or spread the fire for at least 15 minutes. 5.2 Ventilation 5.2.1 Cabinets shall be equipped with openings for inlet and exhaust air, which allows for connection of an exhaust air system to the cabinet. In a ventilated cabinet in which ventilati
33、on is taking place, with the doors closed, latched and locked, the following extraction rates shall apply: when using flammable and fire supporting gas, at least 10 air changes of the cabinets volume per hour; when using toxic gas, at least 120 air changes of the cabinets volume per hour. Under the
34、above conditions the pressure drop shall not exceed 150 Pa. The ventilation system shall maintain a lower pressure in the cabinet than in the surrounding atmosphere. Ventilation shall take place on the top and bottom of the cabinet. Design of the air circulation system within the cabinet shall ensur
35、e adequate purging from minor leakage. This shall be tested by visual inspection and by measuring the air flow and pressure drop while the cabinet is empty. NOTE The inlet pressure drop and the number of air changes have been chosen to provide purging efficiency. 5.2.2 In the event of a fire, the in
36、let and exhaust vents shall close automatically. The vents closing system shall be tested as part of the fire-resistance test in Annex A.

37、 suitable system shall be installed to prevent gas cylinders from falling over. The system shall be suitable for the quantity and dimensions of cylinders, which can be used in accordance with the users instruction manual. 5.4 Insertion and removal of pressurised gas cylinders The cabinet shall be co
38、nstructed so that cylinders can be inserted and removed as safely as possible with minimum manual effort. For example, when cabinet bases are above floor level a ramp and/or mechanical lifting equipment can be employed, however, these shall not be made of aluminium. 5.5 Installation of gas pipelines
39、 (for gas cylinders in use) The number of pipe penetrations through the wall or roof of the cabinet shall be restricted to the minimum necessary and a maximum of 3 for each cylinder. Unused holes/penetrations shall be sealed in accordance with the users instruction manual. The three holes should hav
40、e a maximum diameter of 10 mm each. NOTE In order to maintain the fire resistance as tested and specified in accordance with Annex A (see A.4.1), it is recommended that the pipes are made from stainless steel or from a material of similar thermal conductivity. 5.6 Installation of electric cables (wh
41、ere appropriate) The number of penetrations through the wall or roof of the cabinet shall be restricted to the minimum necessary and a maximum of 2 for each cylinder. Unused holes/penetrations shall be sealed in accordance with the users instruction manual. The two holes should be a maximum diameter
42、 of 20 mm each. 6 Fire resistance The fire resistance of the cabinet for storing pressurised gas cylinders shall be determined by a type test. This type test is performed by heating the cabinet in a furnace according to the time-temperature curve described in clause 5.1.1 of EN 1363-1:1999 and measu
43、ring the temperature increase on the surface of an empty gas cylinder within the cabinet. The temperature increase on the surface of the cylinder valve spanner flat (see Figure A.1) shall not exceed 50 K. Test details are given in Annex A. 7 Information to be supplied The cabinet manufacturer shall
44、supply with the cabinet a user information manual, which includes at least the following: a) instructions for correct cabinet installation; b) maximum combined volumetric capacity of the gas cylinders stored within the cabinet; c) safety procedure instructions in the event of fire, particularly the
45、minimum time, when after a fire, the doors can be safely opened; d) instructions concerning the effect of gas pipes passing through (penetration of) the walls and roof of the cabinet, particularly the potential of reduced fire resistance; e) instructions to correctly seal the unused gas pipe feeds t
46、hrough the cabinet (penetration to the cabinets walls and roof); f) warning that storing corrosive gases will adversely affect the effectiveness of the inlet and exhaust closing mechanisms; Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Wed Apr 11 01:44:30 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 14470-2:2006 (E)
