3.1 Request

The manufacturer shall submit

t o

the body

accredited

to

carry out verification of conformity of

the portable extinguishers

to

prEN 3-1, prEN 3-2,

EN 3-3,prEN 3-4, prEN 3-5:

a)

Technical documentation in triplicate relating

to the portable extinguisher to be verified;this

documentation shal l comprise mainly:

1) one complete set of drawings clearly

characterizing the model;

2) an extract from

the

company

register;

3) an identification sheetof the extinguishing

agent giving its physical and chemical

characteristics;

4) an explanatory, note on the type of hea t

treatment

and

welding and assembly process

the cylinder ha s undergone;

5)

certificates relat ing to the cast analysis of

the steels suppliedfor manufacturing the

cylinders;

6)part a tte stati ons of conformity to prEN3-1,

prEN 3-2, EN 3-3, prEN 3-4, prEN 3-5 drawn

up by a n accredi ted body together with t es t

reports

if

they already exist for certain

requirements.

b) The prototypes necessary

for

carrying out the

verifications.

3.2 Conformity verification

tests

The accredited body shail assess conformity of the

portable extinguisher to prEN3-1,

prEN

3-2,

EN 3-3,prEN 3-4, prEN

3-5.

For

this,

it shall carry

out the

test

programme specified in annexA of this

standard. After this test programme has been

carried out, it shal l supply an atte station of

conformity to prEN 3-1,prEN 3-2, EN 3-3,

prEN 3-4,prEN 3-5 and the test report in

conformitywi t h EN 45001 a model of which

is

given

in

annex

B.

3.2.1 Particular

requirements

3.2.1.1 For the heat treatment, welding and

assembly methods, t he type test may be carried out

per model or per familyof cylinders.

Cylinder model means vessels of th e same design

and same thickness fitted with the same accessories

and made of sheet of identical specifications.

Cylinder family means cylinders from the same

factory, of the same diameter and only differing

length. Only the longest cylinder shall be verified.

3.2.1.2 The manufac turer shall make available to

the accredited body

a

batch of

50

extinguishers from

which the number of extinguishers necessary for the

verification shall be taken. The extinguishers

selected shal l be regarded

as

prototypes.

4 Control during manufacture

4.1 General

In addition

to

any scheme of quality control, which

should include appropriate tests to ensure th atall

extinguishers, including filling packs, are charged

with extinguishing agent of the performance and

specification

as

test ed in the type approval,

cartridges and extinguishers complying with

this

standard shall be produced according to the

production testing schemeof

this

section.

pressure test ing components selected from

production using an adequate sampling plan

NOTE Fittings include closures, valves, hose assemblies. The

fittings need not be tested as part of the complete extinguisher

but the test equipment connection and blanking features must

replicate the adjacent components.

Combinations are shown only on one h e . They are

not

The sequence of the test s with combinationsis

determined by the practical progressof the

As

a

rule, two attempts are carried out for each of

or in this plan. If the result

of

one of the tests is

negative, a second series

of

tests can be carried out.

There must then be no negative result.

If for different types of extinguisher, the

manufacturer uses the same components, the

results a re valid for

all

types.

The laboratory shal l decide the valid results
