Full title and description

STB UNE-EN 15767-1-2010 — Portable equipment for projecting extinguishing agents supplied by fire fighting pumps — Portable monitors — Part 1: General requirements for portable monitor assemblies. This document is the STB (national) adoption of the European standard EN 15767-1 (Part 1), and specifies general safety, performance, testing and marking requirements for portable monitor assemblies (portable lance and monitor sets) used to project extinguishing agents supplied by firefighting pumps.

Abstract

This standard defines terminology, components and general requirements (mechanical, material and hydraulic), performance criteria, test methods, instructions for use and maintenance, marking and documentation for portable monitor assemblies. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the specific parts that cover water nozzles (Part 2) and foam devices (Part 3).

Scope

This part (Part 1) applies to portable monitor assemblies that can be used as portable devices or installed temporarily/permanently on supports supplied by firefighting pumps. It specifies safety and performance requirements, test methods and marking for general portable monitor assemblies. It is not intended for monitors permanently installed on firefighting and rescue service vehicles where separate vehicle equipment standards (e.g. EN 1846-3) apply. Specific requirements for water nozzles and foam devices are covered in Parts 2 and 3 respectively.

Key topics and requirements

• Terms and definitions relevant to portable monitor assemblies.
• Component definitions and construction requirements (materials, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance).
• Hydraulic and performance characteristics (flow rates, jet stability, range and pattern characteristics for different operating pressures).
• Safety and operational requirements (secure mounting, locking, control interfaces, ergonomic considerations).
• Test methods and verification procedures, including acceptance and routine tests.
• Instructions for use, maintenance guidance and marking/technical data sheet requirements.
• Cross-references to Parts 2 (water nozzles) and 3 (foam devices) for device-specific provisions.

Typical use and users

Used by fire and rescue services, industrial fire brigades, marine firefighting teams and manufacturers/suppliers of firefighting monitors. Typical users include equipment designers, procurement specialists, test laboratories, certification bodies and maintenance personnel responsible for specifying, testing, installing and maintaining portable monitor assemblies.
