EN 1866 Wheeled Fire Extinguishers Flow and Discharge Verification
The European Standard EN 1866 sets out detailed procedures for flow and discharge verification of wheeled fire extinguishers. This service is crucial in ensuring that fire safety equipment complies with the latest regulatory requirements, protecting personnel and assets from potential hazards.
Wheeled fire extinguishers are designed to be easily transported to the site of a fire, which makes them invaluable in large facilities such as warehouses, industrial complexes, and high-rise buildings. However, these benefits only hold if the extinguisher performs reliably when needed. Our service focuses on verifying that the wheeled fire extinguisher meets its design specifications for both flow and discharge performance.
The testing process involves several key steps to ensure compliance with EN 1866:
- Visual inspection of the extinguisher’s condition
- Verification of the operating pressure range
- Flow verification using a calibrated nozzle and measuring the flow rate
- Discharge verification by ensuring that the discharge time, distance, and arc angle meet the specified criteria
The testing process is rigorous and involves meticulous attention to detail. Our team of experts ensures that all tests are conducted in accordance with international standards such as EN 1866. This service not only helps facilities comply with regulatory requirements but also enhances operational safety by identifying any potential issues before they escalate.
Regular testing of fire extinguishers is a critical component of an effective emergency response plan. By ensuring that all wheeled fire extinguishers are in optimal working condition, we contribute to the overall preparedness and resilience of your organization. Our service provides you with peace of mind, knowing that your safety equipment is reliable when it matters most.
Our team can also provide additional services such as training on how to perform self-inspections and maintain fire extinguishers effectively. This comprehensive approach ensures that your facility remains compliant not only today but also in the future.
