EN 3-8:2021

Portable fire extinguishers - Part 8: Requirements for the construction, pressure resistance and mechanical tests for extinguishers with a maximum allowable pressure equal to or lower than 30 bar, which comply with the requirements of EN 3-7

This document specifies, as far as the pressure risk is concerned, the rules of design, type testing, fabrication and inspection control of portable fire extinguishers with a metallic body which comply with the requirements of EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007.
This part of EN 3 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 document also applies to the marking of metallic propellant gas cartridges (see Annex E).
This document does not apply to carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.

Tragbare Feuerlöscher - Teil 8: Anforderungen an die konstruktive Ausführung, Druckfestigkeit und mechanischen Prüfungen für tragbare Feuerlöscher mit einem Höchstdruck kleiner gleich 30 bar, welche die Anforderungen aus EN 3-7 erfüllen

Dieses Dokument legt hinsichtlich der Gefährdung durch Druck die Regeln zur Bemessung, Typprüfung, Herstellung und Inspektionskontrolle tragbarer Feuerlöscher mit Metallbehälten fest, die den Anforderungen nach EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 entsprechen.
Dieser Teil von EN 3 gilt für tragbare Feuerlöscher, bei denen der maximal zulässige Druck PS kleiner als oder gleich 30 bar ist und die nicht explosive, nicht entzündbare, nicht toxische und nicht oxidierende Fluide enthalten.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für die Kennzeichnung von Treibgasbehältern aus Metall (siehe Anhang E).
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Kohlendioxid-Feuerlöscher.
