This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publica

23、tion of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2008 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2008. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2007-06-30. This document supersedes EN 3-7:2004. The start and finish of text intr

29、s and test methods for portable fire extinguishers. Reference to the suitability of an extinguisher for use on gaseous fires (class C fires) are at the manufacturers discretion, but are applied only to powder type extinguishers which have gained a class B or class A and class B rating. Suitability o

30、f extinguishers for use on class D fires (fires involving flammable metals) is outside the scope of this standard in respect of test fires. However, extinguishers claiming class D suitability are covered in all other respects by the requirements in this standard for powder extinguishers. !It is cons

31、idered hazardous for powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers to be used on Class F fires. For this reason powder and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are excluded for conformance with regard to Class F in this European Standard.“ NOTE The extinction of a metal fire presents a situation so spec

32、ific (in terms of the metal itself, its form, the configuration of the fire etc.) that it is not possible to define a representative standard fire for the purposes of testing. The efficiency of extinguishers on class D fires needs to be established on a case by case basis. 2 Normative references Thi

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 public
