Section Committee Fire and Rescue Service Equipment
Scope of work
The technical committee coordinates and controls the standardisation work in the field of equipment for the fire service.
Overview of the main standardisation topics of Section 4 and the corresponding standards committees:
- Terms and symbols (NA 031-04-01 AA);
- Structural plant and equipment (NA 031-04-02 AA);
- Personal protective equipment for firefighters (NA 031-04-03 AA);
- Hoses and fittings (NA 031-04-04 AA);
- Fire pumps (NA 031-04-05 AA);

- Other equipment (NA 031-04-09 AA);
- Rescue equipment (NA 031-04-10 AA).
Firefighting equipment standards are needed for, among other things:
- Industry for design, manufacture and sale;
- Federal States to promote generally accepted firefighting technology through grants;
- Fire service for procurement/tendering, training and deployment;
- Accident prevention;
- Acceptance for testing;
- building authorities for planning (e.g. fire stations).
In addition, the FNFW Technical Committee 4 is in charge of the projects of ISO/TC 21/SC 6/WG 8 "Vehicle mounted compressed air foam systems", ISO/TC 92/WG 13 "Fire safety - Statistical data collection" and partly of ISO/TC 8/SC 1/WG 3 "Fire protection" as well as ISO/TC 45/SC 1 "Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies".
The national level will continue to be of great importance in fire equipment.
