Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to flexible escape slides designed for building fire evacuations, where users descend by their own weight at a controlled speed. It specifically covers slides with a configuration height not exceeding 60 meters that are intended for repeated use. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing fire escape apparatus for buildings in China. The standard does not apply to rigid escape chutes or disposable descent devices.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard outlines comprehensive technical specifications for escape slides, focusing on structural integrity, material properties, and operational performance. Structurally, the slide must consist of an entrance metal frame, metal connectors, and a multi-layer slide body comprising an outer protective layer, an intermediate damping layer, and an inner guide layer. Material requirements mandate rigorous testing for flame retardancy, ensuring the protective layer does not melt or drip, with strict limits on damaged length and afterflame time. Additionally, the materials must meet specific thresholds for breaking strength, tear strength, and seam strength to withstand the physical stresses of evacuation. For slides incorporating rubber, physical mechanical properties including tensile strength and heat aging resistance are specified. Performance criteria are critical for user safety. The standard sets maximum limits for the sliding speed and landing speed under minimum, standard, and maximum loads to prevent injury. Furthermore, the slide must demonstrate high reliability by enduring repeated descent tests without structural failure, and all metal components must possess adequate corrosion resistance. Compliance with these performance metrics is essential for market access.

Métodos de ensayo

Testing procedures include visual and dimensional inspections for structural and appearance quality. Material tests evaluate flame retardancy (referencing GB/T 5455), breaking strength (GB/T 3923.1), and tear strength (GB/T 3917.3). Performance testing involves measuring the elongation rate under specific tensile loads, assessing overall tensile strength, and conducting timed sliding and landing speed trials with standardized sandbag weights. Reliability is verified through 100 consecutive maximum-load descents, while corrosion resistance is tested via a 120-hour neutral salt spray test.
