Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 15090-2026 applies to fire hose reels designed for water, dry powder, and foam extinguishing agents. It covers both fire truck and non-fire truck usage scenarios, detailing requirements for various nozzle types. Manufacturers of fire safety equipment must comply with this standard to enter the Chinese market.
Technical requirements
This standard specifies comprehensive performance requirements for fire hose reels, including appearance quality, structural integrity, and spray performance. It defines parameters for rated working pressure, flow rate, and reach, ensuring reliable operation during emergencies. Compliance with these basic technical parameters is strictly enforced. The document also outlines specific requirements for spray water flow, sealing, and pressure resistance. Components must withstand 1.5 times the rated working pressure without deformation. Additionally, the standard mandates corrosion resistance and load-bearing capabilities to ensure durability in harsh environments. For the hose itself, the standard sets limits on inner diameter, length, and bursting pressure. It introduces new requirements for hose twisting, thermal loss, and surface heat resistance, referencing GB 6246 for testing methodologies. All hose components must meet these enhanced durability criteria. Furthermore, the standard defines operating environment temperature ranges, ensuring the equipment functions reliably under extreme conditions. Nozzle performance, including switching mechanisms and material specifications like cast aluminum or copper alloys, must align with referenced standards such as GB/T 1173 and GB/T 1176.
Testing methods
The standard details various testing methods to verify compliance, including spray tests for reach and flow rate, sealing tests under rated pressure, and pressure resistance tests at 1.5 times the rated pressure. It also specifies salt spray corrosion tests, load impact tests, and rotation performance tests. For hoses, methods cover bursting, bending, twisting, and thermal aging tests, alongside high and low-temperature environment trials.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 15090-2026?
GB 15090-2026 regulates fire hose reels used for water, dry powder, and foam extinguishing agents, applicable for both fire truck and non-fire truck applications.
What are the main updates in GB 15090-2026 compared to the 2005 version?
