EN 1866-2 specifies the rules of design, type testing, manufacturing and inspection during manufacturing of mobile fire extinguishers with metallic bodies, which comply with the requirements of EN 1866-1, as far as pressure resistance is concerned. This part applies to mobile fire extinguishers of which the maximum allowable pressure PS is lower than or equal to 30 bar and containing non-explosive, non-flammable, non-toxic and non-oxidizing fluids or powder. This European Standard does not apply to carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.

This European Standard specifies the rules of design, assembling, testing and inspection during manufacturing of mobile CO2 fire extinguishers which comply with the requirements of EN 1866-1, as far as pressure resistance is concerned.

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for attesting the conformity of portable fire extinguishers to EN 3-7, as well as the requirements for the quality and production control of the fire extinguishers.
It specifies the documentation to be provided regarding:
- identification of the applicant;
- identification of the manufacturer, if not the applicant;
- identification of subcontractor(s), if applicable;
- identification of the extinguisher;
- documents provided with the extinguisher;
- CE marking;
- quality management system;
- extinguishing media toxicological information.
It specifies methods for:
- type testing;
- factory assessment;
- controls during production.
NOTE 1 A test report and a satisfactory audit supporting documentation could form the basis for an applicant to request a certification of his product from an EA accredited certification body. Additional requirements can be made by national regulations and/or quality marks.
NOTE 2 Where appropriate, component family testing could be applied.

This European Standard specifies the rules of design, type testing and inspection during manufacturing, ratings and classification of mobile fire extinguishers and test methods to be used. It applies to mobile fire extinguishers with a total mass above 20 kg for powder, water based and CO2 extinguishers. This standard applies to mobile fire extinguishers that are manoeuvred by an operator on foot only.
It does not cover fire tests for class C and class F fires, but the used extinguishing media can be effective on these types of fire. Class D fires are considered to be a very specialist application and are not included in this standard, but may be made the object of national specification.

This standard specifies the characteristics, performance requirements and test methods for portable fire extinguishers.
Reference to the suitability of an extinguisher for use on gaseous fires (class C fires) are at the manufacturer’s discretion, but are applied only to powder type extinguishers which have gained a class B or class A and class B rating.
Suitability of extinguishers for use on class D fires (fires involving flammable metals) is outside the scope of this standard in respect of test fires. However, extinguishers claiming class D suitability are covered in all other respects by the requirements in this standard for powder extinguishers.
It is considered hazardous for powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to be used on Class F fires.  For this reason powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are excluded for conformance with regard to Class F in this European Standard.
NOTE   The extinction of a metal fire presents a situation so specific (in terms of the metal itself, its form, the configuration of the fire etc.) that it is not possible to define a representative standard fire for the purposes of testing. The efficiency of extinguishers on class D fires needs to be established on a case by case basis.

This European Standard specifies the rules of design, assembling, inspection and testing of CO2 portable fire extinguishers as far as the pressure risk is concerned.
NOTE   Annex A gives the classification of the different parts forming the assembly of the portable extinguisher.

This European Standard specifies the rules of design, type testing, fabrication and inspection control of portable fire extinguishers manufactured with metallic bodies as far as pressure risk is concerned.
This part applies to portable fire extinguishers of which the maximum allowable pressure PS is lower than or equal to 30 bar and containing non-explosive, non-flammable, non-toxic and non-oxidising fluids.
This European Standard also applies to the metallic gas cartridge of a volume less than 0,12 l (see Annex E) and gives guidance for sound engineering practice for metallic gas cartridges equal to or greater than 0,12 l and less than 0,5 l, see Annex F.
This European Standard does not apply to carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
NOTE    Annex A gives the classification of the different parts forming the portable fire extinguisher.

The present document classifies in four categories the different kinds of fires which can be defined in terms of the nature of the fuel. Such a classification is particulary useful in the context of fire fighting by means of an extinguisher.
