Ortsfeste Brandbekämpfungsanlagen - Pulverlöschanlagen - Teil 1: Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Bauteile

Anwendungsbereich
Die Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Werkstoffe, Konstruktion und Leis-tungsmerkmale
von Bauteilen fest, die für die Anwendung in Pulverlöschanlagen nach
EN 12416-2:2001 bestimmt sind.
Folgende Bauteile werden beschrieben:
- Pulverbehälter,
- Treibgasbehältergruppen,
- Druckregler,
- Auslöseeinrichtungen,
- Hauptabsperr- und Bereichsventile,
- Düsen.
Die Bauteile sind für Pulverlöschanlagen für die allgemeine Verwendung in Gebäuden und sonstigen
Bauwerken geeignet. Beim Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen, Erdbebengebieten oder unter
extremen Umweltbedingungen, wie in der Seefahrt, auf Bohrinseln, im Bergbau oder in der Luftfahrt
können weitere Anforderungen gelten.
Diese Norm behandelt Bauteile für die Anwendung in Pulverlöschanlagen nach EN 12416-2:2001. In

Les éléments faisant l'objet de la présente norme sont les suivants :
   réservoirs de poudre ;
   systèmes de réserve du gaz propulseur ;
   régulateurs de pression ;
   systèmes de déclenchement ;
   vannes d'isolation principales et vannes directionnelles ;
   diffuseurs.
Ces éléments sont adaptés aux installations de lutte contre l'incendie d'usage général utilisant la poudre, situées dans les immeubles et autres ouvrages de construction. Les surfaces où existent des risques d'explosion, ainsi que les zones de tremblement de terre ou celles dans lesquelles règnent des conditions d'environnement extrêmes, telles les zones marines, de grand large, minières ou aériennes, peuvent faire l'objet de dispositions complémentaires.
La présente norme s'applique aux éléments destinés à un usage au sein de systèmes d'extinction à poudre conformes au prEN 12416-2:2000. Elle ne s'applique pas, par exemple, aux tuyaux et raccords faisant l'objet de normes plus générales, dont les exigences et recommandations sont indiquées dans le prEN 12416-2:2000. Par ailleurs, elle ne s'applique pas aux détecteurs ni aux équipements électriques de commande ou d'indication.

Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for materials, construction and performance of components intended for use in powder firefighting systems complying with prEN 12416-2:2000.
The components covered are as follows:
- powder containers - expellant gas container assemblies - pressure regulators and gauges - actuators - main isolating valves and selector valves - nozzles.
The components are suitable for powder firefighting systems for general use in buildings and other construction works. In areas with a risk of explosion, earthquake zones, extreme environmental conditions e.g. marine, offshore, mining or aircraft additional considerations apply.
This standard covers components for use in powder extinguishing systems complying with prEN 12416-2:2000. It does not cover, for example, pipes and fittings which are covered by more general standards for which requirements and recommendations are given in prEN 12416-2:2000. Nor does it cover fire detectors or electrical control and indicating equipment.
Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited in the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications, apply to this European standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
