Hand-held branchpipes for fire service use - Part 1: Common requirements

This part of this European Standard applies to hand-held branchpipes. It deals with:
-   safety requirements;
-   performance requirements;
-   test methods;
-   classification and designation;
-   instructions for use and maintenance;
-   marking.
This standard should be read in conjunction with parts 2, 3 or 4.
This standard does not apply to branchpipes covered by EN 671, foam branchpipes, powder branchpipes, or branchpipes with a maximum working pressure above 40 bar.
NOTE 1   The Working Group has thoroughly addressed and discussed the issue of electrical safety in relation to using water branchpipes. However, an electrical test is not incorporated into this standard as international experience, as well as research (NFPA handbook, French research, etc) have shown that any "artificial" or "laboratory style" testing will not take into account poor visibility and other conditions present on any fireground, nor the problem of estimating distances under these conditions. The end user should be advised (through the operating instructions, see 8.1) that when fighting fires in or near electrical installations, the power should be cut off as soon as possible. Also, maintain a maximum possible safety distance (at least 1 m up to 1 000 V) and use a spray jet with a minimum spray angle of 30 °.
NOTE 2   Reaction forces should be taken into consideration before choosing and operating branchpipes.

Strahlrohre für die Brandbekämpfung - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Der vorliegende Teil dieser Europäischen Norm gilt für Strahlrohre. Behandelt werden:
- Sicherheitsanforderungen;
- Anforderungen an die Funktion;
- Prüfverfahren;
- Klassifizierung und Bezeichnung;
- Anleitungen für Gebrauch und Instandhaltung;
- Kennzeichnung.
Die vorliegende Norm sollte zusammen mit den Teilen 2, 3 oder 4 von EN 15182 gelesen werden.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Strahlrohre, die in EN 671 behandelt werden, Schaum-Strahlrohre oder Pulver-
Strahlrohre bzw. Strahlrohre mit einem maximalen Betriebsdruck von mehr als 40 bar.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die CEN-Arbeitsgruppe hat das Problem der elektrischen Sicherheit beim Einsatz von Wasserstrahlrohren
ausführlich behandelt und diskutiert. Eine elektrische Prüfung ist jedoch in dieser Norm nicht enthalten, da
sowohl die Erfahrung auf internationaler Ebene als auch die Forschung (NFPA-Handbuch, Französische Forschung, usw.)
erwiesen haben, dass bei einer „künstlichen“ oder einer „Laborprüfung“ sowohl schlechte Sicht und auch andere
Bedingungen, die an einer Brandstelle vorliegen, als auch die Probleme beim Schätzen von Entfernungen unter diesen
Bedingungen, nicht berücksichtigt werden. Dem Endverbraucher sollte (in der Betriebsanleitung, siehe 8.1) empfohlen
werden, bei der Brandbekämpfung in oder an elektrischen Anlagen darauf zu achten, die Energiezufuhr so schnell wie
möglich abzuschalten. Darüber hinaus ist ein größtmöglicher Sicherheitsabstand einzuhalten (mindestens 1 m bei einer
Spannung von bis zu 1 000 V), sowie ein Sprühstrahl mit einem Mindest-Sprühwinkel von 30° anzuwenden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Vor der Auswahl und dem Betrieb von Strahlrohren sind Reaktionskräfte zu berücksichtigen.

Lances à main destinées aux services d'incendie et de secours - Partie 1: Prescriptions communes

Cette partie de la présente Norme européenne s‘applique aux lances à main. Elle traite :
- des prescriptions de sécurité ;
- des prescriptions de performance ;
- des méthodes d’essai ;
- du classement et de la désignation ;
- des instructions d’utilisation et de maintenance ;
- du marquage.
Il convient de lire la présente norme en conjonction soit avec sa partie 2, sa partie 3 ou sa partie 4.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux lances faisant l’objet de l’EN 671, aux lances à mousse, aux lances
à poudre, et aux lances ayant une pression de service maximale supérieure à 40 bar.
NOTE 1 Le Groupe de Travail a abordé et discuté en détail le problème de la sécurité électrique en rapport avec l’utilisation
des lances à eau. Cependant, un essai électrique ne fait pas partie de la présente norme, car l’expérience au niveau
international ainsi que les recherches effectuées (manuel NFPA, travaux de recherche français, etc.) ont montré que les essais
du type «artificiel» ou «de laboratoire» ne prendront en considération ni la mauvaise visibilité et autres conditions régnant sur
le lieu d’un incendie, ni le problème de l’estimation des distances dans ces conditions. Lorsque l'on combat un incendie qui
s’est déclaré dans des installations électriques ou qui a été provoqué par ces dernières, il convient d’avertir l’utilisateur final
(à travers les instructions opérationnelles, voir 8.1) de veiller à couper l’alimentation électrique dès que possible. Il convient
également de maintenir une distance de sécurité maximale possible (au moins 1 m jusqu’à 1 000 V) et à utiliser un jet diffusé
d'un angle minimum de 30°.
NOTE 2 Il convient de prendre en compte les forces de réaction avant de choisir et de faire fonctionner les lances.
