Abstract

1.1 This document specifies the minimum requirements for safety and performance of some optional specific permanently installed equipment on firefighting and rescue service vehicles, operated by trained persons, as designated in EN 18461 and specified in EN 18462. NOTE 1 Categories and mass classes of the firefighting and rescue service vehicles are given in EN 18461. NOTE 2 Vehicle means terrestrial vehicles which can also drive on rails and amphibious vehicles. The permanently installed equipment covered by this document is given below: - water installation; - additive installation; - monitor; - equipment gantries; - demountable systems. This document applies also to the use of wireless control systems. For the purposes of this document, the normal ambient temperature range is 15 °C to + 40 °C. 1.2 This document does not apply to the following types of equipment: - all control systems outside of the cabin related to hook arm system; - provisions for nonfirefighting removable equipment driven by PTO. 1.3 This document applies to the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during operational use, routine checking and maintenance of firefighting and rescue service vehicles. It does not cover the hazards generated by: - nonpermanently installed equipment i.e. portable equipment carried on the vehicle; - use in potentially explosive atmospheres; - commissioning and decommissioning; - noise (as permanently installed equipment cannot be operated separately from the vehicle, this hazard is covered in Part 2); - electromagnetic compatibility; - cyber security; - cyber safety. Additional measures not dealt with in this document can be necessary for specific use (e.g. fire in natural environment, flooding, etc.). 1.4 This document is not applicable to the equipment which is manufactured before its date of publication by CEN.
