本欧洲标准规定了制造过程中的设计，型式试验和检验规程，移动式灭火器的等级和分类以及使用的试验方法。适用于粉末，水基和二氧化碳灭火器的总质量在20公斤以上的移动式灭火器。本标准适用于仅由步行者操作的移动式灭火器。 它不包括C级和F级火灾的防火测试，但二手灭火介质对这些类型的火灾可以有效。 D类火灾被认为是非常专业的应用，不包括在本标准中，但可能成为国家规范的对象

This European Standard specifies the rules of design, type testing and inspection during manufacturing, ratings and classification of mobile fire extinguishers and test methods to be used. It applies to mobile fire extinguishers with a total mass above 20 kg for powder, water based and CO2 extinguishers. This standard applies to mobile fire extinguishers that are manoeuvred by an operator on foot only. It does not cover fire tests for class C and class F fires, but the used extinguishing media can be effective on these types of fire. Class D fires are considered to be a very specialist application and are not included in this standard, but may be made the object of national specification.
