Portable aerosol dispenser for fire extinguishing purposes

This draft European Standard specifies the characteristics, performance and test methods for extinguishing aerosol dispensers, in accordance with Directive 75/324/EEC for fire extinguishing purposes. Requirements in this draft Standard are specified for products containing less than 1 kg or 1 l of extinguishing media, which can be expelled by the action of internal pressure and are intended to extinguish test fires of type A + B, or type A + F, or type A + B + F classes of EN 2. These extinguishing aerosol dispensers are intended to be used by untrained persons for domestic applications. They are not intended to be used on gas fires (class C) and metal fires (class D).
Requirements are specified for minimum performance in Annex H for extinguishing test fires of type A, type B and type F classes of EN 2, as appropriate.
Annex A gives the conditioning treatment to be applied to extinguishing aerosol dispensers prior to testing as described in Annex B to Annex K.

Löschspraydose

In Übereinstimmung mit der Richtlinie 75/324/EWG werden in dem vorliegenden Europäischen Norm-Entwurf die Eigenschaften, das Feuerlöschvermögen und Prüfverfahren für Druckgaspackungen für Feuerlöschzwecke (Löschspraydosen) festgelegt. Die Anforderungen in diesem Norm-Entwurf sind für Produkte mit weniger als 1 kg oder 1 l Löschmittel festgelegt, das durch die Einwirkung des Innendrucks ausgestoßen werden kann und zum Löschen von Prüfbränden der Klassen A und B oder Klassen A und F oder Klassen A, B und F der EN 2 vorgesehen ist. Diese Löschspraydosen sind für die Verwendung durch ungeübte Personen im häuslichen Bereich vorgesehen. Die Löschspraydosen sind nicht dazu vorgesehen, bei Gasbränden (Brandklasse C) und Metallbränden (Brandklasse D) verwendet zu werden.
In Anhang H sind die Anforderungen an das Mindest-Feuerlöschvermögen von Prüfbränden der Brandklasse A, Brandklasse B und Brandklasse F nach EN 2 festgelegt, sofern zutreffend.
In Anhang A wird die Behandlung zur Konditionierung angegeben, der die Löschspraydosen vor den in Anhang B bis Anhang K beschriebenen Prüfungen zu unterziehen sind.

Générateur d'aérosol portatif pour l'extinction d'un incendie

La présente norme spécifie les caractéristiques, les performances et les méthodes d’essai relatives aux générateurs d’aérosols à fonction extinctrice, conformément à la Directive 75/324/CEE, destinés à l’extinction d’incendies. Les exigences de la présente norme sont spécifiées pour les produits contenant moins de 1 kg ou 1 litre d’agent extincteur, qui peuvent être diffusés par l’action d’une pression interne et qui sont destinés à l’extinction de foyers-types des classes A + B, ou A + F, ou A + B + F selon le classement de l’EN 2. Les générateurs d’aérosols à fonction extinctrice sont destinés à être utilisés par des personnes non formées, pour des applications domestiques. Ils ne sont pas destinés à être utilisés sur des feux de gaz (classe C) ou sur des feux de métaux (classe D).
L’Annexe H spécifie des exigences de performance minimales pour l’extinction de foyers-types des classes A, B et F de l’EN 2, suivant les cas.
L’Annexe A indique les conditions pré-requises à appliquer aux générateurs d’aérosols à fonction extinctrice avant les essais décrits dans les Annexes de B à K.
