Overview

FprEN 15767-2:2026 is a European Standard developed by CEN, focusing on portable equipment for projecting extinguishing agents, specifically portable monitors - Part 2: Water nozzles. This standard outlines the safety, performance, classification, designation, test methods, instructions for use and maintenance, and marking requirements for manual water nozzles, including those that deliver water with fire extinguishing additives. It complements the general requirements described in EN 15767-1 and is not applicable to water nozzles manufactured before its date of publication.

Standardizing portable water nozzles enhances safety, performance consistency, and interoperability for fire service equipment, helping users select reliable products for firefighting support operations.

Key Topics

• Applicability: Targets manual water nozzles used with portable fire monitors, relevant for both water and water with additives.
• Requirements: Specifies mechanical characteristics, materials, hydraulic properties like flowrates, spray angles, effective throw distance, and resistance to heat and frost.
• Classification: Outlines nozzle types (including smooth bore and various combination water nozzles), supporting selection based on operational needs.
• Testing: Details type test methods for performance, durability, leak-tightness, and debris-flush capabilities.
• User Documentation: Mandates that each nozzle is supplied with an instruction and maintenance handbook, including technical datasheets and safety instructions.
• Marking: Requires permanent marking with essential information such as standard reference, manufacturer details, serial or batch numbers, type, spray pattern, maximum flowrate, nominal pressure, and applicable adjustment positions.

Applications

EN 15767-2:2026 is critical for a wide range of practical firefighting scenarios:

• Fire Services: Assists fire brigades in selecting reliable, safe, and effective water nozzles for portable monitors, ensuring robust performance under emergency conditions.
• Emergency Response Planning: Ensures that water nozzles are ergonomically designed for ease of use, even while wearing firefighter gloves, and can operate without risk of injury.
• Equipment Procurement: Supports manufacturers, suppliers, and procurement managers in verifying product compliance through acceptance tests, conformity documentation, and clear marking.
• Maintenance and Documentation: Facilitates ongoing equipment maintenance by requiring detailed, accessible manuals and spare parts lists, helping prolong nozzle service life and maintain operational readiness.
• Firefighting Training: Provides a standardized basis for training personnel on the use and adjustment of different nozzle types and understanding essential safety and operational features.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and integration within firefighting equipment systems, FprEN 15767-2:2026 refers to and aligns with several related standards:

• EN 15767-1: General requirements for portable monitor assemblies, forming the foundational reference for Part 2.
• EN 15182-1: Requirements for hand-held branchpipes and general portable firefighting equipment.
• EN 659: Specification for protective gloves for firefighters, referenced for ergonomic and user safety requirements.
• EN ISO 228-1 & EN ISO 228-2: Relating to pipe threads used in the fitting of nozzles to firefighting monitors.

By adopting FprEN 15767-2:2026, stakeholders in fire safety benefit from harmonized, high-quality, and safe equipment, ensuring portable water nozzles deliver consistent performance during critical firefighting and emergency support operations.
