Aperçu de conformité

Cet aperçu n’est actuellement disponible qu’en anglais.

Champ d’application

This standard applies to the research, development, production, and inspection of Class A foam extinguishing agents used for extinguishing Class A fires and thermal insulation protection. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing these specific fire extinguishing agents for the Chinese market. It does not cover other types of foam agents or fire suppression systems not utilizing Class A foam.

Exigences techniques

GB 27897-2025 establishes the product models, technical requirements, and testing protocols for Class A foam extinguishing agents. It introduces updated parameters, including the addition of viscosity requirements and the removal of specific fluidity metrics found in the previous GB 27897-2011 version. The standard specifies physical and chemical requirements for the foam concentrate, including freezing point, freeze-thaw resistance, viscosity, pH levels, and corrosion rates for both steel and aluminum materials. Manufacturers must declare specific characteristic values for mixing proportions used in Class A fire extinguishing and thermal insulation applications. For the foam solution, the standard outlines performance criteria such as surface tension, wetting ability, 25% drainage time, and thermal insulation performance. It also defines critical fire suppression performance metrics, requiring specific maximum extinguishing times and minimum burn-back resistance times.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard details rigorous testing procedures, including temperature treatment to assess stability, freezing point determination, and viscosity measurement using a rotational viscometer. It also outlines methods for evaluating corrosion rate, surface tension, and wetting time. Fire performance is tested using a standard compressed air foam system against a specified wood crib fire scenario. Compliance requires passing both factory and type tests as defined in the inspection rules.
