38、1:2018EN 1568-1:2018 (E) 7 Introduction As fire fighting foams are chemical agents or chemical preparations Commission Directive 2000/60/CE and Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and No 1907/2006 (REACH) apply and should be taken into account. Classes of fire are defined in EN 2 as follows: a) Clas
39、s A: fires involving solid materials, usually of an organic nature, in which combustion normally takes place with the formation of glowing embers; b) Class B: fires involving liquids or liquefiable solids; c) Class C: fires involving gases; d) Class D: fires involving metals; e) Class F: fires invol
40、ving cooking media (vegetable or animal oils and fats) in cooking appliances. Fire fighting foams are widely used to control and extinguish Class B fires and to inhibit re-ignition. These foams can also be used for prevention of ignition of flammable liquids and, in certain conditions, to extinguish
41、 Class A fires. Foams can be used in combination with other extinguishing media, particularly gaseous media and powders, which are the subject of other European Standards (see Foreword). These specifications have been designed to ensure that fire extinguishing media have the minimum useful fire figh
42、ting capability. The user should ensure that the foam concentrates are used accurately at the concentration recommended by the manufacturer. Fire performances indicated by this standard cannot replicate practical fire situations. Foam concentrates of different types and manufacturers should not be m
43、ixed. It should be noted that some combinations of extinguishing powder and foam can lead to unacceptable loss of efficiency, caused by unfavourable interaction of the chosen media when applied simultaneously or successively to the fire. It is extremely important that the foam concentrate after dilu
44、tion with water to the recommended concentration should not in normal usage present a significant toxic hazard to life in relation to the environment. The current version of Commission Directive 2000/60/CE, Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and No 1907/2006 (REACH) apply when considering the testi
45、ng of ecotoxicological properties and safety in the work environment. A special quality characteristic is the type test conducted by an independent testing laboratory accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17025. BS EN 15681:2018EN 1568-1:2018 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for chemic
46、al and physical properties, and minimum performance requirements of medium expansion foams suitable for surface application to water-immiscible liquids. Requirements are also given for marking. WARNING Any type approval according to this standard is invalidated by any change in composition of the ap
47、proved product. Some concentrates conforming to this part of EN 1568 can also conform to other parts and therefore can also be suitable for application as low and/or high expansion foams. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of the
