Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the design, manufacturing, and inspection of various airport fire fighting vehicles (airport crash tenders). It is specifically tailored for Class One, Class Two, and Class Three airport vehicles, categorized by their extinguishing agent capacity. It must be used in conjunction with GB 7956.1 for general technical conditions.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates that airport fire fighting vehicles must utilize all-wheel drive with automatic or semi-automatic transmissions. It sets strict limits on dynamic performance, including a minimum top speed of 100 km/h (115 km/h for special chassis) and specific 0-80 km/h acceleration times. Manufacturers must ensure the vehicle can operate the fire pump and monitor while driving at various speeds, including reverse. Key structural requirements include a maximum vehicle width of 3300 mm and specific approach/departure angles and ground clearances based on the vehicle class. The standard also specifies minimum rollover stability angles (23° for commercial chassis, 30° for special airport chassis). Vehicles must be equipped with a self-protection system covering the tires and crew cabin. For vehicles equipped with lifting arms, the maximum height is capped at 20m. These vehicles must feature interlock systems limiting speed to 10 km/h when the arm is elevated, along with acoustic and optical alarms when reaching safe working limits. An emergency recovery system is mandatory for the lifting mechanism. The standard outlines requirements for fire monitors, fire pumps, and foam systems, largely referencing GB 7956.3-2014 and GB 19156. It also defines endurance criteria, requiring engine-driven vehicles to pass a 6-hour continuous operation test without exceeding critical temperature thresholds.
Testing methods
The standard details specific testing procedures, including the 6-hour continuous operation test to monitor engine and transmission temperatures under rated load. It also mandates practical tests for dynamic performance, such as climbing a 40% gradient while operating the roof monitor, and measuring 0-80 km/h acceleration. Stability tests require the vehicle to park laterally on a 20% slope with the lifting arm fully extended and operational. Additionally, it includes piercing tests for specialized nozzles to penetrate aluminum and steel plates.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7956.10-2025?
It applies to all types of airport fire fighting vehicles designed and manufactured for airport firefighting. It must be used in conjunction with GB 7956.1 for complete technical requirements.
Are there any new classifications or updates in GB 7956.10-2025?
The standard introduces specific classifications (Class One, Two, and Three) based on extinguishing agent capacity. It also includes updated requirements for electric battery-driven chassis, such as 1-hour continuous operation limits and specific 0-80 km/h acceleration criteria.
How does GB 7956.10-2025 differ from general fire truck standards?
It is a dedicated Chinese national standard specifically tailored for airport fire fighting vehicles, featuring unique requirements like self-protection systems, high-speed driving while pumping, and piercing喷射 devices, which are not typically found in general ISO fire vehicle standards.
