This document applies to portable pumps using fire-fighting centrifugal pumps as defined in EN 1028, driven by an internal combustion engine and not intended to be permanently installed in fire-fighting and rescue service vehicles and not intended for prolonged unattended operation. NOTE 1 If use of the portable pump is foreseen for prolonged unattended operation, this should be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer or the manufacturer`s authorized representative at the time of ordering. In this case an additional risk analysis should be carried out. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to portable firefighting pumps as described above, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). It addresses the design, setting up, and operation of the portable pump. This document also specifies performance requirements for portable pumps in its scope. This document applies to portable pumps used in ambient temperatures between -15 °C and +35 °C. NOTE 2 Additional measures may be necessary for ambient temperatures beyond the limits -15 °C and +35 °C This document does not cover the effect on performance of water inlet temperatures above +20°C. This document does not contain any requirements for inlet and outlet connection couplings. NOTE 3 For inlet and outlet connection couplings national regulations apply. The design should be agreed at the time of ordering between purchaser and the manufacturer or manufacturer`s authorized representative. This document does not contain specific requirements for the driving engine but deals with the hazards related to the interface between engine and pump. While producing this document it was assumed that: only trained persons operate and maintain the machine; components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics are maintained. The noise test code considered in this document (see Annex E) will allow experience in the measurement of noise emission to be gained with a view to future revisions. This document does not apply to portable pumps that are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document.
