Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies specifically to smoke exhauster fire fighting vehicles, which are primarily equipped with fixed smoke exhaust and ventilation devices used for smoke extraction and ventilation at disaster sites. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers producing these specific fire fighting vehicles for the Chinese market. It should be noted that this part does not cover other types of fire fighting vehicles regulated under the broader GB 7956 series.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive technical specifications for the vehicle and its components. For the complete vehicle, it mandates secure fixation of the exhaust device, strict noise limits in the cab, and clear operational and warning instructions. Manufacturers must ensure the vehicle remains stable without tipping or hazardous shaking during maximum RPM operations. For the smoke exhaust device, the standard specifies minimum requirements for flow rate, full pressure, or thrust depending on the fan type (axial, centrifugal, or jet). It requires the impeller to pass an overspeed test and mandates that the device can operate continuously for 6 hours at rated speed. Negative-pressure devices must also withstand a 280°C medium for 30 minutes. Safety guards and indicator lights are strictly required. The smoke exhaust ducts must match the device interfaces, ensure reliable connections, and possess sufficient strength. Negative-pressure ducts must use high-temperature resistant materials and pass abrasion resistance tests. The lifting, pitching, and slewing mechanisms must meet specific speed and angle parameters, operate smoothly without interference, and feature an alarm if not returned to the stowed position. Additionally, the standard regulates the hydraulic system (requiring relief valves and filters), the control system (specifying instrument accuracy, protection functions, and minimum insulation resistance), and the mandatory equipment list carried on the vehicle.
Testing methods
Testing procedures include reliability driving tests and in-cab noise measurement for the complete vehicle. The performance of the smoke exhaust device is evaluated by measuring flow rate and full pressure according to GB/T 1236, and thrust according to GB/T 19843. Overspeed tests are conducted per JB/T 6445. Ducts are subjected to abrasion resistance testing following GB/T 19089-2012. The lifting, pitching, and slewing mechanisms undergo 50 continuous working cycles to verify reliability and hydraulic system integrity. The control system is tested for insulation resistance, withstand voltage (1500V), and protection grade (IP22) in accordance with GB/T 4208-2017.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7956.17-2019?
This standard specifically regulates smoke exhauster fire fighting vehicles, which are fire trucks equipped with fixed smoke exhaust and ventilation devices.
Is GB 7956.17-2019 a mandatory standard?
