31、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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2019. Atten

32、tion 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 1568-3:2008. In comparison with the previous edition, the following significan

33、t changes have been made: Interfacial tension and spreading coefficient test removed; Freezing point test introduced; Stability/Separation test of foam concentrate introduced; Occupational health and ecotoxicological testing introduced; Example of technical data sheet included; New test procedures i

Setting-up procedures of foam nozzle for the determination of expansion and drainage times have been modified in the light of ISO 7203. This document is Part 3 of EN 1568 which has the general title Fire extinguishing media Foam

35、 concentrates. The other parts are: Part 1: Specification for medium expansion foam concentrates for surface application to water-immiscible liquids; Part 2: Specification for high expansion foam concentrates for surface application to water-immiscible liquids; Part 4: Specification for low expansio

This series includes the following standards: EN ISO 5923, Equipment for fire protection and fire fighting

38、ons Part 2: Code of practice for safe handling and transfer procedures (ISO 7201-2); EN 615, Fire protection Fire extinguishing media Specifications for powders (other than class D powders). According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following coun

39、tries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Po

BS EN 1568-3:2018EN 1568-3:2018 (E) 7 Introduction As fire fighting foams are chemical agents or chemical preparations Commission Directive 2000/60/CE and Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008 (CL

41、P) and No 1907/2006 (REACH) apply and should be taken into account. Classes of fire are defined in EN 2 as follows: Class A: fires involving solid materials, usually of an organic nature, in which combustion normally takes place with the formation of glowing embers; Class B: fires involving liquids

42、or liquefiable solids; Class C: fires involving gases; Class D: fires involving metals; Class F: fires involving cooking media (vegetable or animal oils and fats) in cooking appliances. Fire-fighting foams are widely used to control and extinguish Class B fires and to inhibit re-ignition. These foam

43、s can also be used for prevention of ignition of flammable liquids and, in certain conditions, to extinguish Class A fires. Foams can be used in combination with other extinguishing media, particularly gaseous media and powders, which are the subject of other European Standards (see European forewor

44、d). These specifications have been designed to ensure that fire extinguishing media have the minimum useful fire fighting capability. The user should ensure that the foam concentrates are used accurately at the concentration recommended by the manufacturer. Fire performances indicated by this standa

45、rd cannot replicate practical fire situations. Foam concentrates of different types and manufacture should not be mixed. It should be noted that some combinations of extinguishing powder and foam can lead to unacceptable loss of efficiency, caused by unfavourable interaction of the chosen media when

46、 applied simultaneously or successively to the fire. It is extremely important that the foam concentrate after dilution with water to the recommended concentration should not in normal usage present a significant toxic hazard to life in relation to the environment. The current version of Commission

47、Directive 2000/60/CE, Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and No 1907/2006 (REACH) apply when considering the testing of ecotoxicological properties and safety in the work environment. A special quality characteristic is the type test conducted by an independent testing laboratory accredited to EN I

48、SO/IEC 17025. BS EN 1568-3:2018EN 1568-3:2018 (E) 8 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for chemical and physical properties, and minimum performance requirements of low expansion foams suitable for surface application to water-immiscible liquids. Requirements are also given for ma

49、rking. WARNING Any type approval according to this standard is invalidated by any change in composition of the approved product. Some concentrates conforming to this part of EN 1568 can also conform to other parts and therefore can also be suitable for application as medium and/or high expansion foams, and for application at low expansion to water-miscible liquids. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their cont
