(Main)Fixed firefighting systems - Water mist systems - Part 1: Design, installation, inspection and maintenance
Fixed firefighting systems - Water mist systems - Part 1: Design, installation, inspection and maintenance
This European Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation, inspection and maintenance of fixed land based water mist systems.
This document is intended to apply to water mist automatic nozzle systems and water mist deluge systems supplied by stand alone or pumped systems.
Aspects of water mist associated with explosion protection are not covered by this European Standard.
This standard does not cover all legislative requirements. In certain countries specific national regulations apply and take precedence over this European Standard. Users of this European Standard are advised to inform themselves of the applicability or non-applicability for this European Standard by their national responsible authorities.
Ortsfeste Brandbekämpfungsanlagen - Feinsprüh-Löschanlagen - Teil 1: Planung, Einbau, Inspektion und Wartung
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Planung, Errichtung, Prüfung und Instandhaltung von ortsfesten Feinsprüh-Löschanlagen fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Feinsprühanlagen mit automatischen Düsen und Feinsprüh-Löschanlagen mit offenen Düsen, die von einem eigenständigen System oder Pumpensystemen versorgt werden.
Aspekte von Wassernebel, die den Explosionsschutz betreffen, liegen außerhalb des Anwen¬dungsbereichs dieser Europäischen Norm.
Diese Norm deckt nicht alle gesetzlichen Anforderungen ab. In manchen Ländern gelten spezifische nationale Richtlinien, die Vorrang vor dieser Europäischen Norm haben. Anwendern dieser Europäischen Norm wird geraten, sich über die Anwendbarkeit oder Nichtanwendbarkeit dieser Europäischen Norm durch ihre nationalen zuständigen Stellen zu informieren.
Installations fixes de lutte contre l'incendie - Systèmes à brouillard d'eau - Partie 1 : Conception, installation, inspection et maintenance
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et donne des recommandations relatives à la conception, à l'installation, à l'inspection et à la maintenance des systèmes fixes à brouillard d'eau terrestres.
Le présent e été élaboré pour être applicable aux systèmes à brouillard d'eau à buses automatiques et aux systèmes à brouillard d'eau de type déluge alimentés par des systèmes autonomes ou avec pompes.
Les aspects du brouillard d'eau associés à la protection contre l'explosion ne sont pas couverts par la présente Norme européenne.
La présente norme ne traite pas des exigences légales. Dans certains pays, des réglementations nationales spécifiques s'appliquent et prennent le pas sur la présente Norme européenne. Il est conseillé aux utilisateurs de la présente Norme européenne de s'informer auprès des autorités nationales responsables de l'applicabilité ou de la non-applicabilité de la présente Norme européenne.
