Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 7956.5-2019 applies to gas fire fighting vehicles designed to carry fire extinguishing agents such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. This standard is specifically tailored for manufacturers and compliance engineers involved in the production and modification of these specialized fire trucks. It is mandatory for all gas fire fighting vehicles entering the Chinese market.
Technical requirements
This standard outlines the mandatory technical requirements for gas fire fighting vehicles, covering both the complete vehicle and the vehicle-mounted gas fire extinguishing system. The requirements ensure that the vehicles are equipped with adequate safety mechanisms, including pressure relief valves, pressure gauges, and clear operational instructions in Chinese. For the vehicle-mounted gas fire extinguishing system, the standard specifies criteria for components such as cylinders, piping, and nozzles. It details the specific requirements for both nitrogen fire extinguishing systems and carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems, including parameters for working pressure, effective discharge rate, and effective range. Manufacturers must ensure that all pressurized components meet strict sealing and strength requirements. Additionally, the standard mandates the proper placement and securing of equipment, including personal protective gear and rescue tools. It also covers the requirements for alarm lamps, accompanying documentation, and vehicle markings to ensure operational safety and regulatory compliance.
Testing methods
The testing methods include visual inspections and physical measurements to verify dimensions, markings, and equipment configurations. It also involves operational tests for the gas extinguishing systems, such as discharge performance tests to measure effective discharge rate and range. Furthermore, reliability tests, including a 5000km driving test, are conducted to ensure structural integrity, alongside hydrostatic strength and airtightness tests for the pressurized piping systems.
