Fixed firefighting systems - Foam systems - Part 1: Requirements and test methods for components
The requirements of this document set out the materials, construction, and performance of components intended for use in fixed foam fire fighting systems, and using foam concentrates conforming to EN 1568-1 to EN 1568-4. The components covered are: proportioners, sprayers, semi-subsurface hose units, branchpipes, low/medium expansion foam generators, high expansion foam generators, foam chambers, tanks and pressure vessels. Methods of test are given in Annex A to Annex K.
Requirements are also given for the provision of the characteristic data needed for correct application of components.
NOTE 1 Unless otherwise stated pressures are gauge pressures expressed in bar.
The requirements of this document do not cover, except where stated, the use of combinations of components to form part, or the whole, of a fire fighting system.
NOTE 2 Components conforming to this document are not necessarily compatible one with another.
Requirements for pumps, motors and the functioning of mechanical components (i.e. remote control turrets) are outside the scope of this document.

ANMERKUNG 1 Wenn nicht anders angegeben, sind die Drücke Überdrücke in bar.
Die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments behandeln nicht die Verwendung kombinierter Bauteile, die zur Bildung von Teilen einer Löschanlage oder einer gesamten Löschanlage benötigt werden, es sei denn, es ist ausdrücklich angegeben.
ANMERKUNG 2 Bauteile, die dem vorliegenden Dokument entsprechen, sind nicht zwangsläufig miteinander kompatibel.
Die Anforderungen an Pumpen, Motoren und die Funktion der mechanischen Bauteile (d. h. ferngesteuerte Drehgestelle) sind nicht in diesem Dokument festgelegt.
Installations fixes de lutte contre l'incendie - Systèmes à émulseurs - Partie 1 : Exigences et méthodes d'essais relatives aux composants
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux matériaux, à la fabrication et aux performances des composants destinés à être utilisés dans les installations fixes à mousse de lutte contre l’incendie et employant des émulseurs conformes aux EN 1568-1 à EN 1568-4. Les composants concernés sont les suivants : proportionneurs, pulvérisateurs, tuyaux semi-immergés, lances à mousse, générateurs de mousse bas et moyen foisonnement, générateurs de mousse haut foisonnement, chambres à mousse, réservoirs et récipients sous pression. Les méthodes d’essai sont décrites de l’Annexe A à l’Annexe K.
Il prescrit également des exigences relatives à la fourniture des caractéristiques nécessaires pour une utilisation correcte des composants.
NOTE 1 Sauf indication contraire, les pressions sont des pressions relatives, exprimées en bar.
Les exigences du présent document ne concernent pas, sauf si cela est précisé, l’utilisation de combinaisons de composants pour constituer tout ou partie d’une installation de lutte contre l’incendie.
NOTE 2 Les composants se conformant au présent document ne sont pas nécessairement compatibles entre eux.
Les exigences relatives aux pompes, moteurs et au fonctionnement des composants mécaniques (par exemple, les tourelles télécommandées) ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application du présent document.
