In addition to the requirements given in EN 15182-1, this part of this European Standard applies to hand-held branchpipes with smooth bore jet and/or one fixed spray jet angle branchpipes PN 16, with a maximum flow rate of 1 000 l/min at a reference pressure of 6 bar (0,6 MPa). It deals with:
-
safety requirements;
-
performance requirements;
-
test methods;
-
classification and designation;
-
information for use;
-
marking and maintenance.
This part of this European Standard applies to branchpipes as defined in Annex A of EN 15182-1:2007.
NOTE 1 These branchpipes offer no or inadequate protection for firefighters when the spray angle is less than 30 ° and therefore, should not be used in high risk fire fighting situations such as internal attack.
NOTE 2 These branchpipes should not be used when fighting fires in or near electrical installations when the spray angle is less than 30 ° without written authorisation from the manufacturer in the manual. This authorisation from the manufacturer should include safety distances.
