16、t of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2008. Attention is drawn to the poss
17、ibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade
18、Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship 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 part
19、y) certification of product conformity with this European Standard based on testing and 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 Dire

BS EN 13731:2007EN 13731:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1. The machinery conc
22、erned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered 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
23、 provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and 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 mach
24、inery, collapsed buildings, collapsed trenches, fallen trees and other natural 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 th
25、at: a) the manufacturer will design and/or use components in accordance with 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
26、 lit; d) negotiations occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning 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. BS EN 13731:2007EN 13731:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope Th
27、is European Standard specifies requirements for lifting bag systems, where 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 co
28、uplings; regulators; control devices; pressure indicators; safety valves; 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
29、events during the commissioning, operation and maintenance arising from 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
30、methods for lifting bag systems. This European Standard does not establish 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, contaminati
31、ng environments, strong magnetic fields, potentially explosive atmospheres); 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
32、out. Additional measures and additional information for use may be necessary. 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.
33、g. the lifting of persons or heavy recovery where exceptional stroke movement 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 sou
34、rce, it is assumed that the source conforms to an appropriate European Standard 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
