About CEN

The European Committee for Standardization is one of three European Standardization Organizations (together with CENELEC and ETSI) that have been officially recognized by the European Union and by the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) as being responsible for developing and defining voluntary standards at European level.

Title Fire-fighting - Positive-pressure proportioning systems (PPPS) and compressed-air foam systems (CAFS)
Work Item Number 00192095
Abstract/Scope This European Standard applies to systems which add a foam concentrate to the water discharged from a fire-fighting centrifugal pump either: a) by a positive-pressure proportioning system (PPPS) alone, or b) together with compressed-air by means of a compressed-air foam system (CAFS). In both cases pressure is applied to the foam concentrate in order to permit continuous operation. Such systems are permanently installed in fire-fighting vehicles. Permanently installed or fixed systems in buildings or structures are not covered by this European Standard. NOTE 1 This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846–2 and EN 1846–3. This European Standard applies to the design, manufacture and operation of such systems. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to PPPS and CAFS when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacture (see Clause 4). NOTE 2 Performance requirements are also given (see Clause 7). This European Standard applies to systems which are used at ambient temperatures ranging from −15 °C to +35 °C as stated in EN 1846 3. For systems to be used at temperature outside this temperature range, the particular temperature range should be specified by the user and the manufacturer should determine by a risk assessment any need for additional precautions. This European Standard does not apply to the technical safety requirements concerning the design and manufacturing of drives, auxiliary equipment, sources of energy or pumps. Furthermore, this European Standard does not deal with special hazards arising from the particular conditions under which these systems are used, for example: c) handling of any equipment, devices etc. which are connected to the system or are joined to it (e.g. handling of branch pipes/nozzles and pressure hoses); a) events specific to the location where the system is set up (e.g. on public roads); f) decommissioning and disposal; g) operation without supervision; h) immunity against electromagnetic fields and electrostatic discharge. Hazards relating to any kind of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and other equipment dealt with by the respective standards for such equipment are not covered by the present standard. References to the relevant standards are made wherever such standards exist and whenever necessary. This European Standard does not deal with the hazards arising from noise. NOTE 3 EN 1846–2 covers hazards arising from noise for the complete vehicle. This European Standard does not deal with hazards related to handling foam concentrates or contact with. NOTE 4 Additive installation is dealt with in EN 1846–3. This European Standard is not applicable to systems which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

Relations


(1) Date of ratification (dor) date when the Technical Board notes the approval of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), from which time the standard may be said to be approved


(2) Date of availability (dav) date when the definitive text in the official language versions of an approved CEN/CENELEC publication is distributed by the Central Secretariat


(3) Date of announcement (doa) latest date by which the existence of an EN (and HD for CENELEC), a TS or a CWA has to be announced at national level


(4) Date of publication (dop) latest date by which an EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement


(5) Date of withdrawal (dow) latest date by which national standards conflicting with an EN (and HD for CENELEC) have to be withdrawn


(6) This list of normative references is purely indicative. The only official list of normative reference is the list of the published standard.


In the case of undated standard, a link to the last dated version is provided.


In the case of series, a link to each standard identified in the series is provided.


We also invite you to check (via the website) whether corrigenda and/or amendments shall be read in conjunction with the main standard.


(7) This list of bibliographic references, which is provided for homegrown standards only, is purely indicative and was retrieved automatically using available XML files. It is limited to publications that have been published in the XML format. For standards that are not homegrown, the corresponding international standard should be consulted.
