DIN EN 13565-1:2008-01

This European Standard specifies requirements for materials, construction, and performance of components intended for use in fixed foam fire fighting systems, and using foam concentrates conforming to all parts of EN 1568. The components covered are: proportioners, sprayers, semi-subsurface hose units, branchpipes, low/medium expansion foam generators, high expansion foam generators, foam chambers, tanks and pressure vessels. Methods of test are also described. The requirements of this specification do not cover, except where stated, the use of combinations of components to form part, or the whole, of a fire fighting system. Requirements for pumps, motors and the functioning of mechanical components (i. e. remote control turrets) are outside the scope of this standard.
