Geltungsbereich und Anwendbarkeit

This standard specifies the safety requirements for divers performing underwater high pressure water jetting and ultra high pressure water jetting operations. It is applicable to the salvage and rescue field, specifically for underwater cleaning or cutting tasks. It is mandatory for all personnel and organizations involved in underwater high-pressure water jetting operations in China. The standard covers environmental conditions, equipment, personnel, and emergency procedures, referencing GB 26123 and GB 28396 for diving safety.

Technische Anforderungen

The standard outlines comprehensive safety protocols divided into several key areas. First, it defines strict environmental conditions, setting limits on water current velocity and wind force depending on the diving method used (e.g., scuba, surface-supplied, or saturation diving). Operations must be suspended if environmental parameters exceed the specified limits without proper risk assessment. Second, the standard details equipment requirements for high-pressure water pumps, hoses, and jetting guns. It mandates that hoses must have a minimum burst pressure and be equipped with safety devices like flexible buckles to prevent whipping in case of failure. High pressure guns must feature normally closed control valves and safety locks to prevent accidental operation. Third, it establishes personnel requirements, defining the roles and qualifications for diving supervisors, divers, and pump operators. All personnel must undergo specific training for high-pressure water jetting operations and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), especially when handling ultra-high pressure devices. Finally, the standard provides detailed operation procedures covering pre-dive checks, active operation protocols, and post-dive maintenance. It emphasizes continuous communication between the diving supervisor and pump operator, and strictly prohibits modifying the structure of the high-pressure water gun.

Prüfverfahren

The standard does not specify laboratory testing methods for products but rather outlines operational safety checks and procedures. It includes a mandatory pre-operation safety checklist (Appendix A) to verify equipment integrity, hose pressure ratings, and environmental conditions before commencing work. Additionally, it requires regular maintenance checks every six months, including inspecting pump components, hose aging, and safety valve validity.

Häufige Fragen
