    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    States requirements and describes test methods for flexible and rigid connectors used in CO[2] -, Inert Gas- or Halocarbon gas fire extinguishing systems.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies requirements and describes test methods for flexible and rigid connectors used in CO2 -, Inert Gas- or Halocarbon gas fire extinguishing systems.

    This European Standard is applicable to connectors used:

    • between container valves and the manifold (type1 and type5 connector);

    • in pneumatic pilot lines (type3 connector);

    • in distribution pipework of fire extinguishing installations downstream of the manifold/selector valve (type2 or type4 connector).
