BS EN 1866-3 discusses mobile fire extinguishers. The aim of the BS EN 1866 series is to ensure the correct operation of mobile extinguishing systems by providing the manufacturer with the best industry requirements for safe and reliable use of mobile fire extinguishers, such that they play a positive role during a fire emergency. BS EN 1866-3 is the third part of the BS EN 1866 series of standards that specifies the rules of design, assembling, testing, and inspection during the manufacturing of mobile CO2 fire extinguishers, which comply with the requirements of EN1866-1, as far as pressure resistance is concerned.
BS EN 1866-3 on gas extinguishing systems is useful for:
Mobile fire extinguishers are used for effective protection against a variety of industrial fire risks where the risk is large and a longer application time is required). To prevent hazardous situations it is necessary that the extinguishing systems are designed and built as per industry performance requirements.
BS EN 1866-3 provides you with design and assembling requirements and test methods that can be followed while manufacturing mobile fire extinguisher. It shall ensure that the components of mobile fire extinguishers assembled properly are free from any defect likely to impair the safe use of the extinguisher.
After complete assembly of the mobile extinguisher, BS EN 1866-3 guides for a final inspection that shall be carried out to ensure that all parts comply with the approved design of the extinguisher and manufacturing records and that the assembly was carried out correctly.
