European foreword
This document (EN 15182-4:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 192 “Fire and
rescue service equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2020, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15182-4:2007+A1:2009.
Compared to EN 15182-4:2007+A1:2009 the following changes have been made:
— new maximum flowrate: 250 l/min;
— the definitions have been updated;
— each verification has been placed under the corresponding requirement;
— a test to measure the forces needed to move the rotating elements which have detents (4.2.2) has
been added;
— the requirements for flowrates (4.3.2) have been updated;
— the verifications for leak-tightness (4.4) and hydrostatic behaviour (4.5) have been updated;
— improvement of the wording/editorial changes.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
1 Scope
In addition to the requirements given in EN 15182-1:2019, this document applies to hand-held high
pressure branchpipes (nozzles) with a nominal pressure of 40 bar (4,0 MPa) PN 40, with a maximum
flow rate up to 250 l/min at a reference pressure of 6 bar (0,6 MPa). It deals with:
— safety requirements;
— performance requirements;
— test methods.
This document applies to branchpipes as defined in Annex A of EN 15182-1:2019.
