This European Standard shall be given the status of a natio
23、nal standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2008.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship
25、with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are an integral part of this document. NOTE 1 It is recommended that users of this European Standard consider the desirability of independent (3rd party) certification of product conformity with this European Standard based on testing an
26、d continuing validation for the purpose of establishing the performance of a lifting bag system. NOTE 2 The equipment subject to this European Standard is not considered to be subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organ
27、izations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Ro

DIN EN 13731:2008-02 : - EN 13731:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are co
29、vered are indicated in the scope of this document. Where provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and
30、built according to the provisions of this type C standard. Lifting bag systems are used by Fire and Rescue Services principally to facilitate the release of persons trapped following accidents involving vehicles, heavy machinery, collapsed buildings, collapsed trenches, fallen trees and other natura
31、l objects. Lifting bag systems are generally used in conjunction with other means to support or stabilise the load being moved, for example, blocks, chocks and props. When compiling this European Standard, it was assumed that: a) the manufacturer will design and/or use components in accordance with
32、the usual engineering practise and calculation codes, including all failure modes; b) only trained and competent persons whilst wearing suitable gloves, will use and operate the machinery; c) the working place is adequately lit; d) negotiations occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concer
33、ning particular conditions for the use and places of use for the machinery related to health and safety, which are not within the limits of the scope of this European Standard. DIN EN 13731:2008-02 EN 13731:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for lifting bag systems, whe
34、re intended operation is inflation by compressed air and used primarily by fire and rescue services. This European Standard applies to lifting bag systems including some or all of the following components: hose assemblies and couplings; regulators; control devices; pressure indicators; safety valves
35、; lifting bags. This European Standard applies to lifting bag systems intended for operation under ambient temperatures between -20 C and 55 C. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during the commissioning, operation and maintenance arising from
36、a lifting bag system when it is used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies minimum performance requirements and test methods for lifting bag systems. This European Standard does not establi
37、sh the additional requirements for: a) operation in severe conditions ( e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: temperatures outside the range from -20 C to + 55 C, corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields, potentially explosive atmospher
38、es); NOTE 1 If use of the lifting bag system is foreseen in severe conditions, this should be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer at the time of ordering. In this case an additional risk analysis should be carried out. Additional measures and additional information for use may be neces
39、sary. b) risk directly arising from any means for handling or transportation of the lifting bag system by equipment other than that designed as part of the lifting bag; c) lifting bag systems manufactured for specialized use, e.g. the lifting of persons or heavy recovery where exceptional stroke mov
40、ement is required; d) any hazard arising from the source of compressed air, except where this is a manually operated air pump. NOTE 2 Where the source is from an air compressor or from a pressurised cylinder or other similar source, it is assumed that the source conforms to an appropriate European S
41、tandard or legislation. This European Standard is not dealing with noise, as it is not considered to be a significant hazard. This European Standard is not applicable to lifting bag systems which are manufactured before the date of its publication by CEN. DIN EN 13731:2008-02 EN 13731:2007 (E) 6 2 N
