To tehnično poročilo opredeljuje različne elemente protipožarne zaščite, ki skupaj oblikujejo sistem oskrbe z vodo ali drugim gasilnim sredstvom. To tehnično poročilo prav tako opredeljuje delovne skupine CEN/TC 192, ki so odgovorne za standarde za te določene predmete opreme. Tlaki, pri katerih ti različni predmeti opreme delujejo, kot je opisano v standardih, ki za njih veljajo, so opredeljeni in zbrani, podana pa je tudi razlaga, na kaj se nanašajo taki tlaki. Podana so priporočila glede na revizijo obstoječih standardov in pripravo novih ob upoštevanju vodnih tlakov.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16099:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 192 “Fire service
equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Introduction
Primarily this Technical Report is intended for use by the relevant CEN/TC 192 Working Groups when
preparing new standards or revising existing ones. The Technical Report may also be of value to fire and
rescue services when designing, selecting, operating or maintaining extinguishing equipment and also to other
CEN committees or other organisations who may work on related matters.
The aim of this Technical Report, as well as providing a collation of existing water pressures contained in
published CEN/TC192 standards, is to assist in working towards preparing more common definitions, values
and descriptions within new or revised TC 192 standards and to ensure such definitions are clearer, more
consistent and easier for the users of the standards.
NOTE Terms and definitions for pressures are given in the relevant EN standards listed in Clause 3. The equivalent
definition for the terms within each section may not be identical.
1 Scope
This Technical Report identifies the various elements of fire ground operations which work together to form a
system for the delivery of water or other extinguishing media. The Technical Report also identifies the
CEN/TC 192 Working Groups responsible for the standard(s) for that specific item(s) of equipment.
The pressures at which these various items of equipment operate at, as described in their respective
standard, are identified and collated and an explanation as to what such pressures relate to is given.
Recommendations are provided in relation to the revision of existing standards and the preparation of new
ones in respect of water pressures.
2 Fire ground system of operation
A schematic representation of a typical water delivery system for firefighting operations is shown in Figure 1,
with following sections:
Section 0: Hydrants (for information only);
Section 1: Layflat hose for water supply;
Section 2: Fire pump;
Section 3: Fire appliance – plumbing & valve installation;
Section 4: Semi rigid hose – to go on hose reel;
Section 5: Layflat hose for fire attack;
Section 6: Nozzles;
Section 7: Fire ground equipment, dividers, etc.;
Section 8: Portable monitors;
Section 9: Suction hoses;
Section 10: Vehicle mounted monitors.
Figure 2 identifies the individual components that form the system, the appropriate European Standards and
the Working Groups of CEN/TC 192 responsible for preparing those standards.

1) National standards apply. A European Standard for layflat hoses for fire attack does not exist. The Final Draft FprEN 1924, Fire-fighting hoses ― Non-percolating layflat
delivery hoses and hose assemblies for pumps and vehicles failed at Formal Vote and the standardization project was cancelled in 2004.
2) Possible future standardization projects in CEN/TC 192/WG 8.
3 Published water pressures
Table 1 to Table 5 provide various information related to the pressure designations, descriptions and values abstracted from the relevant published
standards of CEN/TC 192.
