Fixed firefighting systems - Hose systems - Part 2: Hose systems with lay-flat hose

Please read the qualifying note at the end of the summary of the directive. This European Standard specifies requirements and methods of tests for construction and performance for fire hose systems with lay-flat hose for installation in buildings and other construction works, permanently connected to a water supply, for use by the occupants. Its requirements may apply in general for other applications, for example in marine applications or in aggressive environments, but additional requirements may be necessary in such cases. For convenient application in conformity testing the normative annexes of this standard are arranged, so that Annex A gives the sequence of testing for conformity assessment and Annexes B, C, D and E are in the correct sequence for testing. Annex F gives recommendations for the flowrate, pressure and capacity of water supplies. Note: All pressures are gauge pressures and are expressed in megapascals. 1 MPa = 10 bar.
