This European Standard applies to systems which add a foam concentrate to the water discharged from a fire-fighting centrifugal pump either:
a)   by a positive-pressure proportioning system (PPPS) alone, or
b)   together with compressed-air by means of a compressed-air foam system (CAFS).
In both cases pressure is applied to the foam concentrate in order to permit continuous operation. Such systems are permanently installed in fire-fighting vehicles. Permanently installed or fixed systems in buildings or structures are not covered by this European Standard.
NOTE 1   This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846–2 and EN 1846–3.
This European Standard applies to the design, manufacture and operation of such systems. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to PPPS and CAFS when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacture (see Clause 4).
NOTE 2   Performance requirements are also given (see Clause 7).
This European Standard applies to systems which are used at ambient temperatures ranging from −15 °C to +35 °C as stated in EN 1846 3.
For systems to be used at temperature outside this temperature range, the particular temperature range should be specified by the user and the manufacturer should determine by a risk assessment any need for additional precautions.
This European Standard does not apply to the technical safety requirements concerning the design and manufacturing of drives, auxiliary equipment, sources of energy or pumps. Furthermore, this European Standard does not deal with special hazards arising from the particular conditions under which these systems are used, for example:
c)   handling of any equipment, devices etc. which are connected to the system or are joined to it (e.g. handling of branch pipes/nozzles and pressure hoses);
a)   events specific to the location where the system is set up (e.g. on public roads);
f)   decommissioning and disposal;
g)   operation without supervision;
h)   immunity against electromagnetic fields and electrostatic discharge.
Hazards relating to any kind of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and other equipment dealt with by the respective standards for such equipment are not covered by the present standard. References to the relevant standards are made wherever such standards exist and whenever necessary.
This European Standard does not deal with the hazards arising from noise.
NOTE 3   EN 1846–2 covers hazards arising from noise for the complete vehicle.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards related to handling foam concentrates or contact with.
NOTE 4   Additive installation is dealt with in EN 1846–3.
This European Standard is not applicable to systems which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

This document applies to centrifugal pumps without priming devices for fire-fighting use designed as
-   floating pumps (FPN F),
-   submersible pumps (FPN S) or
-   boosted pumps (FPN B).
Fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer are defined as terminated by their inlet and outlet connections as well as by their shaft ends.
This document applies for fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without priming devices for use under ambient temperatures between -15 °C and 40 °C.
NOTE 1   For special conditions, -30 C; see 6.11.
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer of which the only power source is directly applied manual effort.
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer, intended to be used as interchangeable equipment (i.e. combined by the user with another machine or vehicle acting as a driver).
This document does not apply to fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without primer with a nominal delivery pressure pN above 15 bar.
NOTE 2   High pressure pumps with primer are dealt with in EN 1028-1 and EN 1028-2.
This document specifies the classification and general requirements for fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without priming devices with a nominal delivery rate of up to 10 000 l/min.
This document deals with significant hazards listed in Clause 4, hazardous situations and events during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of fire-fighting centrifugal pumps without priming devices, used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer.
This document does not deal with the detailed verification of general and safety requirements and/or protective measures. These are covered in EN 14710-2 "Verification of general and safety requirements".
This document does not deal with noise.
This document does not deal with the technical safety requirements for the design or manufacture of drivers or of additional equipment intended to be fitted to inlet and outlet connections.

This European standard applies for portable pump sets using fire-fighting centrifugal pumps conforming to prEN 1028. Portable pumps are motor pumps designed for firefighting which can be transported by hand to the site of operation and which are driven by a combustion engine. Portable pumps are intended not to be permanently mounted in firefighting and rescue service vehicles.
This European standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, arising from portable pumps used as intended or arising from conditions foreseen by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized representative. It addresses the construction, setting, and operation of the portable pump. The significant hazards are listed in clause 4.
This European standard specifies the safety and performance requirements for portable pumps classified in clause 7, and their associated tests.
NOTE 1   The testing may also be applied to portable pumps whose pumps are outside of the classification in clause 7. Details are to be agreed between the vendor and the purchaser.
This European standard applies for portable pumps used in ambient temperatu-res between -15 °C and 35 °C.
NOTE 2   For special conditions out of this temperature range see 5.2.10.1.
This European standard does not apply to portable pumps of which the only power source is directly applied manual effort.
