20、-1:2007+A1:2009EN 15182-1:2007+A1:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been created to provide a minimum level of safety and performance criteria. Its purpose is not to define a specific branchpipe design but to help the user in understanding and choosing the correct equipment. BS EN 1
21、5182-1:2007+A1:2009EN 15182-1:2007+A1:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of this European Standard applies to hand-held branchpipes. It deals with: safety requirements; performance requirements; test methods; classification and designation; instructions for use and maintenance; marking. This standard shou
22、ld be read in conjunction with parts 2, 3 or 4. This standard does not apply to branchpipes covered by EN 671, foam branchpipes, powder branchpipes, or branchpipes with a maximum working pressure above 40 bar. NOTE 1 The Working Group has thoroughly addressed and discussed the issue of electrical sa
23、fety in relation to using water branchpipes. However, an electrical test is not incorporated into this standard as international experience, as well as research (NFPA handbook, French research, etc) have shown that any “artificial“ or “laboratory style“ testing will not take into account poor visibi
24、lity and other conditions present on any fireground, nor the problem of estimating distances under these conditions. The end user should be advised (through the operating instructions, see 8.1) that when fighting fires in or near electrical installations, the power should be cut off as soon as possi
25、ble. Also, maintain a maximum possible safety distance (at least 1 m up to 1 000 V) and use a spray jet with a minimum spray angle of 30 . NOTE 2 Reaction forces should be taken into consideration before choosing and operating branchpipes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents ar

35、ments (e.g. valve handle, handhold, lever and trigger), shall be equipped with 360 fulltime swivelling inlet elements. NOTE 1 Fitting systems are dealt with in national standards or requirements. NOTE 2 Fitting systems should not impair the performance of the branchpipes. 6.1.2 Dimensions and mass T
36、he dimensions and mass of the branchpipes (without inlet coupling) shall not exceed those given in parts 2, 3 and 4 of this standard. 6.1.3 Operating and handling elements 6.1.3.1 General NOTE Branchpipes should be ergonomically designed so that they can be easily operated without risk of injury whe
37、n wearing firefighters gloves complying with EN 659. 6.1.3.2 Operating and handling elements shall afford a firm hold and be able to resist the mechanical forces applied to them. 6.1.3.3 Handling elements shall be manufactured from a material which is insulated against cold or shall be provided with
38、 a protective cover. NOTE This requirement is verified during the frost test in accordance with 7.2.2. 6.1.3.4 It shall be possible for the operator to control the speed of opening and closing the branchpipe. NOTE Branchpipe shut-off should be easy to operate in a controlled manner to minimize the r
39、isk of water hammer. 6.1.3.5 For branchpipes of all types, rotating operating elements shall traverse from a wide spray jet to a narrow spray jet and to a straight jet, and from the greatest flow to the smallest flow, in a clockwise manner when viewed from the rear of the branchpipe. 6.1.3.6 !Except
40、 for type 1 branchpipes, when“ rotating operating elements are used, it shall be possible to feel where the maximum flow rate setting is located, even when the operator is wearing firefighters gloves complying with EN 659. 6.2 Materials The materials used shall be selected so that all the requiremen
41、ts in clause 6 are met, subject to the tests defined in clause 7. Branchpipes shall resist the heat and frost tests defined in 7.2 and to the drop test defined in 7.3.
