Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies specifically to rescue fire fighting vehicles designed for disaster scene rescue operations. It covers vehicles equipped with rescue equipment, onboard cranes (or forklifts with lifting functions), winches, and lighting systems. It is not applicable to standard fire suppression vehicles like water, foam, or powder trucks, which are covered under other parts of the GB 7956 series.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates that rescue vehicles must consist of a chassis, an onboard crane or forklift, a winch, and a lighting system, accommodating 6 to 12 occupants. It sets specific criteria for the onboard crane, including minimum lifting capacities, working ranges, and stability requirements under load. Manufacturers must ensure cranes can perform reliably without structural deformation during continuous operation. The winch requirements dictate minimum rated pulling forces based on the vehicle's loaded mass, alongside specifications for steel cable length, automatic layering, and overload protection. Winches must be equipped with safety mechanisms that automatically halt operations during overloads to prevent mechanical failure. For the lighting system, the standard references GB 26755-2011 and sets minimums for generator power, illumination intensity, and operational range (elevation, rotation, and pitch angles). The system must include electrical safety features like short-circuit protection and specific IP ratings for components. Additionally, the standard includes a comprehensive equipment configuration matrix, categorizing required gear into personal protection, detection, warning, rescue, and extrication tools. Vehicle configurations must strictly adhere to this matrix, which varies based on the vehicle's total loaded mass.
Testing methods
The standard outlines testing procedures for overall vehicle performance, including driving 100km to verify fuel capacity for crane operations. Key tests include lifting capacity and stability tests for onboard cranes using weights and measuring tools, and winch performance tests evaluating pulling force, braking, and overload protection. Lighting system tests measure illumination, generator noise, and electrical insulation, alongside endurance tests requiring 12 hours of continuous operation and 300升降 cycles. Equipment configuration is verified via visual inspection against the standard's mandatory matrix.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7956.14-2015?
This standard regulates rescue fire fighting vehicles equipped with specialized rescue equipment, onboard cranes (or forklifts), winches, and lighting systems. It applies specifically to vehicles designed for disaster scene rescue operations and does not cover standard water, foam, or powder fire fighting vehicles covered in other parts of GB 7956.
What are the mandatory technical requirements under this GB standard?
It specifies mandatory requirements for the vehicle's overall structure, onboard crane lifting capacity and stability, winch pulling force and overload protection, and lighting system illumination and electrical safety. Manufacturers must also adhere to a strict equipment configuration matrix detailed in the standard.
What testing methods are specified for rescue fire fighting vehicles?
The standard requires testing for crane lifting capacity and stability, winch pulling force and safety, lighting system illumination and electrical safety, and equipment configuration checks. Both factory and type tests are required to verify compliance with the specified parameters.
