Foreword
This document (EN 1846-3:2002+A1:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 192 "Fire 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by endorsement, at the latest by March 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
December 2009.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2008-07-30.
This document supersedes EN 1846-3:2002.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ".
The CEN/TC 192 entrusted the drafting of this standard to CEN/TC 192/WG3 "Firefighting and rescue service
vehicles".
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of !EU Directive(s)".
!For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document."
EN 1846 "Firefighting and rescue service vehicles" is composed of three parts:
 Part 1: Nomenclature and designation;
 Part 2: Common requirements - Safety and performance;
 Part 3: Permanently installed equipment - Safety and performance.
Annex A is for information only.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic,

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in !EN ISO 12100-1:2003".
This document is a complement to EN 1846-2 and deals with some optional specific permanently installed
equipment used by firefighters.
The equipment concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
NOTE Other equipment not covered by this document can be dealt with later in another part, depending on the decision of
CEN.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
This document also deals with the performance requirements which apply to the equipment as defined in the
scope.
1 Scope
1.1 This Part of this European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for safety and performance of
some optional specific permanently installed equipment on firefighting and rescue service vehicles, operated by
trained persons, as designated in EN 1846-1 and specified in EN 1846-2.
NOTE 1 Categories and mass classes of the firefighting and rescue service vehicles are given in EN 1846-1.
The permanently installed equipment dealt with in this Part of this European Standard is given below:
 water installation;
 additive installation;
 monitor;
 equipment gantries.
NOTE 2 This Part of this European Standard should be read in conjunction with any national regulations in force for vehicles
using the public roads and with any EU Directives and associated EFTA regulations in force relevant to vehicles and their
equipment.
For the purposes of this European Standard, the normal ambient temperature range is - 15 °C to + 35 °C.
NOTE 3 In the case of utilization outside this temperature range, the particular temperature range should be specified by the
user.
1.2 This Part of this European Standard is not applicable to:
 personnel carrying vehicles;
 vehicles with a gross laden mass not exceeding 2 t;
 boats;
 aircrafts;
 trains;
 ambulances;
 airport vehicles complying with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations.
1.3 This Part of this European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in
clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operational use and the routine checking of firefighting and
rescue service vehicles when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his
authorized representative.
It deals also with performance requirements.
It does not cover the hazards generated by:
 noise ( as permanently installed equipment cannot be operated separately from the vehicle, this hazard is
covered in Part 2);
 radiation (low frequency, radio frequency, radiation, microwaves);
 errors in the software;
 use in potentially explosive atmospheres;
 construction, transportation, maintenance and decommissioning;
 wind pressure in and out of use;
 static electricity problems;
 remote control;
 electromagnetic compatibility;
 oil hydraulic and pneumatic driving system.
1.4 This document is not applicable to the equipment which is manufactured before its date of publication by
CEN.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at 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 of revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).
