The reporter learned today that the State Administration for Market Regulation approved the release of three mandatory national standards in the field of fire protection: "On-site Inspection and Judgment Rules for Fire Protection Products", "Fire Trucks Part 12: Elevated Fire Trucks" and "Fire Truck Channel Settings and Management Guidelines". These three standards are formulated and revised by the National Fire and Rescue Bureau. This batch of standards covers the three core areas of product supervision, rescue equipment, and access security, further improves the mandatory standard system in the fire protection field, and provides a unified technical yardstick for the management of the entire fire safety chain.
The "On-site Inspection and Judgment Rules for Fire Protection Products" has been upgraded from the original industry standard to a mandatory national standard, establishing a three-level judgment system of "market access verification, inspection data verification, and key performance on-site testing". The standard covers nine categories of commonly used fire-fighting products, including fire alarm products, fire extinguishers, evacuation and escape, fixed fire extinguishing, smoke prevention and exhaust, building fire-resistant components, fire-proof materials, fire-fighting combat equipment, and fire-extinguishing agents. It clarifies on-site inspection items and unqualified determination rules for various products, supports supervisors to quickly identify unqualified products on-site, and provides a unified mandatory technical basis for grassroots fire protection law enforcement.
"Fire Trucks Part 12: Elevated Fire Trucks" focuses on the actual needs of fire fighting and rescue in high-rise buildings. On the basis of the original three types of vehicles: aerial platforms, ladders, and elevating jets, it adds a new category of elevated demolition fire trucks and performance requirements for demolition devices. The standard clarifies multiple safety mechanisms such as interlocking of the upper and lower arms of the outriggers, automatic limits for one-sided extension operations, automatic leveling of the entire vehicle, and early warning for over-wind speed operations. It optimizes core performance indicators such as the lifting timeliness of models of different heights and the rated load of the work bucket, and comprehensively improves the safety, reliability, and practical adaptability of elevated fire trucks.
The "Guidelines for the Setting and Management of Fire Truck Channels" address the outstanding issues in the management of "life channels" and clarify the mandatory setting and management requirements. The standard stipulates the net width and clearance dimensions of fire truck passages, specifications and slope limits for ascending operation sites, and clarifies that the road surface of fire truck passages for ordinary buildings must bear no less than 36 tons of fire truck operating load, and this is increased to 70 tons for buildings exceeding 100 meters; it unifies the specifications, styles and installation requirements of yellow no-parking lines and signboards, clarifies the management responsibilities of property rights units, property service companies and other entities, and provides unified technical compliance for the comprehensive management of fire truck passages.
