This document specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for thermal image fire detectors (TIFD), which operate in the infrared spectrum, for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in and around buildings.

Detectors developed for the protection of specific risks that incorporate special characteristics (including additional features or enhanced functionality for which this document does not define a test or assessment method) are beyond the scope of this document.

This document applies to small craft and defines a practical degree of fire prevention and protection intended to provide enough time for occupants to escape a fire on board small craft. This document does not apply to:

— the design and installation of permanently installed galley stoves and heating appliances (including components used to distribute the heat) using fuels that are liquid at atmospheric pressure on small craft, which are covered by ISO 14895;

— personal watercraft;

— carbon monoxide detecting systems, which are covered by ISO 12133:2021 [1];

— portable equipment containing lithium-ion batteries.

NOTE batteries. Annex D provides guidance for charging and handling of portable equipment containing lithium-ion batteries.

This document specifies design, assembly, installation and commissioning requirements for pump sets for use in sprinkler systems conforming to EN 12845:2015+A1:2019. Where applicable, this document can also be used for pump sets for other water based fixed firefighting systems.

1.1 Scope of EN 1995-1-2

(1) This document deals with the design of timber structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and it is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1995-1-1 and EN 1991-1-2.

This document only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design.

(2) This document applies to timber structures required to fulfil a loadbearing function, separating function or both.

(3) This document gives principles and application rules for the design of structures for specified requirements in respect of the aforementioned functions and the levels of performance.

(4) This document applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are within the scope of EN 1995-1-1 and are designed accordingly.

(5) The methods given in this document are applicable to all products covered by European technical product specifications made reference to in this document.

1.2 Assumptions

(1) In addition to the general assumptions of EN 1990, the following assumptions apply:

- the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel, or is given by the relevant national regulation;

- any fire protection measure taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained.

(1) EN 1994-1-2 gives rules for the design of steel-concrete composite structures for the accidental design situation of fire exposure. It only identifies differences from, or supplements to, rules for normal temperature design. (2) EN 1994-1-2 only applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are within the scope of EN1994-1-1 and are designed accordingly.

In addition to the common requirements given in EN 15182 1, this document specifies the specific safety and performance requirements and the corresponding test methods, applicable to hand-held combination branchpipes (nozzles), with a nominal pressure of 16 bar (1,6 MPa) PN 16, with a maximum flow rate up to 1 000 l/min at a reference pressure of 6 bar (0,6 MPa).

In addition to the common requirements given in EN 15182-1, this document specifies the specific safety and performance requirements and the corresponding test methods, applicale to hand-held branchpipes with smooth bore and/or one fixed spray jet angle with a nominal pressure of 16 bar (1,6 MPa) PN 16, with a maximum flow rate up to 1 000 l/min at a reference pressure of 6 bar (0,6 MPa). NOTE 1 These branchpipes offer no or inadequate protection for firefighters when the spray jet angle is less than 30 ° and therefore are not adapted in high risk firefighting situations such as internal attack. NOTE 2 These branchpipes are not adapted when fighting fires in or near electrical installations when the spray jet angle is less than 30° without written authorization in the manual (safety distances included).

In addition to common the requirements given in EN 15182 1, this document specifies the specific safety and performance requirements and the corresponding test methods, applicable 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). These branchpipes are used for example for quick attack lines, building fires, forest fires, etc.

This document specifies the minimum common safety and performance requirements of hand-held branchpipes used by fire and rescue service equipment. This document defines: - test methods; - classification and designation; - instructions for use and maintenance; marking. NOTE The additional specific requirements applicable to hand-held branchpipes are defined in EN 15182-2:— (combination branchpipes PN 16), EN 15182-3:— (Smooth bore and/or one fixed spray jet angle branchpipes PN 16) and EN 15182-4:— (High pressure branchpipes PN 40). This document is not applicable to: - branchpipes covered by the EN 671 series; - foam branchpipes covered by EN 16712-3; - CAFS branchpipes; - powder branchpipes; - branchpipes with a maximum working pressure above 40 bar.
