Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to door openers for fire fighting used by firefighters during fire suppression and emergency rescue operations. It covers the terminology, model designations, technical requirements, testing methods, and inspection rules for these hydraulic forcible entry tools. It is mandatory for all manufacturers producing fire-fighting door openers for the Chinese market. The standard specifically references DIN 14751-5:2008 for single-acting hydraulic rescue tools.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive physical and mechanical requirements for fire-fighting door openers. Key areas include appearance quality, requiring smooth surfaces without burrs and proper anti-corrosion treatment for metal parts. It mandates minimum thresholds for maximum opening force and maximum opening distance to ensure operational effectiveness during emergencies. Furthermore, the standard outlines critical performance criteria such as opening performance, which must be smooth without leakage or mechanical damage under load. It also details requirements for base foot return performance, ensuring the tool resets properly with minimal gap between the feet. Manufacturers must ensure the tool withstands 1.5 times the rated working pressure during strength tests. Additional requirements cover high and low temperature performance, ensuring functionality in extreme environments, and sealing performance to prevent hydraulic fluid displacement under stress. The standard also mandates a reliability test to verify continuous operation without failure. For accessories, it specifies that hydraulic hoses must have metal sleeves and comply with GB/T 3683, while hydraulic couplings must feature self-locking functions and dust protection devices.
Testing methods
The testing procedures involve visual inspection and mechanical testing using a specialized test rig equipped with pressure, displacement, and force sensors. Key tests include the opening force and distance test, conducted at rated working pressure to measure maximum output. The strength test applies 1.5 times the rated pressure at specific extension points. Environmental testing involves high and low temperature performance tests, storing the tool at -30°C and 55°C before operation. The reliability test requires 50 continuous cycles within 250 minutes at 80% rated pressure. Accessory tests evaluate hydraulic hoses and couplings under 1.5 times rated pressure and axial pulling forces.
FAQs
