Fire fighting vehicle - Part 22: Pump water tanker TLF 3000
Löschfahrzeuge - Teil 22: Tanklöschfahrzeug TLF 3000
Overview
The standard applies to pump water tankers TLF 3000 and specifies additional and/or restrictive type-specific requirements for the general requirements given in DIN EN 1846-2, DIN EN 1846-3 and E DIN 14502-2. Pump water tanker TLF 3000 is a firefighting vehicle with a fire-fighting centrifugal pump driven by the vehicle, an installation for quick delivery of water or a hose reel, a fire water reservoir and fire-fighting equipment the crew of which consists of a troop (1/2) and whose task is mainly the provision of a larger amount of water as well as the replenishment of fire water, especially in water-scarce regions and outside paved tracks. Explanations with regard to the new type of pump water tanker, its designation and its tasks: - The vehicle designation has been changed from TLF 16/24-Tr to TLF 3000, as the nation-wide introduction of the digital BOS radio necessitates a uniform and mandatory designation of fire fighting, medical and disaster control vehicles. Every time a connection is established, a data set, the so called operative-tactical address (OPTA), of the radio subscribers is shown in plain text format on the radio displays. Therewith, the digital radio system necessitates that all users/digital end devices have their own unique address (like an IP address on the internet or individual mobile numbers) and every device is clearly identifiable therewith. Consequently, this presumes a uniform system when designating fire fighting, medical and disaster control vehicles. Regarding the allocation of uniform addresses for radios, the BDBOS has decided to use the "Richtlinie für die operativ-taktische Adresse (OPTA) im Digitalfunk der Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben" ("Directive for the digital system operative-tactical address of the authorities and organizations responsible for safety") of the Ausschuss für Informations- und Kommunikationswesen des Arbeitskreises V (Working Committee for information and communication systems of Working Group V) nation-wide as a necessary technical standard and recommends it to the federal states for implementation. - The designation TLF 3000 stands for a pump water tanker with at least 3 000 l fire water capacity, an optional, permanently mounted monitor and a total mass of up to 14 000 kg (class M according to DIN EN 1846-1 and DIN EN 1846-2). The crew consists of a troop (1/2). With this pump water tanker, the need for a TLF shall be met which is especially suitable for fighting forest fires. The following amendments have been made with respect to the standard DIN 14530-22:1995-03 and DIN 14530-22/A1:2002-12: a) term and definition have been amended due to the enlarged fire water reservoir and the nation-wide introduction of digital BOS radio; b) content of the fire water reservoir has been increased to a minimum of 3 000 l; c) maximum permissible vehicle length, height and permissible total mass have been changed; d) validity of the general requirements for fire fighting vehicles according to DIN EN 1846-2, DIN EN 1846-3 and E DIN 14503-2 has been incorporated; e) requirements for the chassis, structure, driver's compartment, roof and fire-fighting installations have been completely revised; f) reference to the guideline for acceptance tests on delivery according to DIN EN 1846-2:2010-01, Annex G, has been incorporated; g) fire fighting equipment in Table 1 (standard load TLF 3000) has been completely revised; h) additional equipment for forest fires has been incorporated as Table 2; i) load plan has been removed; j) contents and bibliography have been editorially revised; k) DIN 14011-6, DIN 14011-9, DIN 14365-1, DIN 14365-2, DIN 14420-1, DIN 14420-2, DIN 14502-2, 14530-1, DIN 14620, DIN 14817-1, DIN 70020-1, DIN 70020-2 have been deleted in the normative references and DIN 14330-1, DIN 14330-2, DIN 14420, DIN 14430, E DIN 14502-2:2009-07, DIN 14811, DIN EN 1028-1, DIN EN 1028-2, DIN EN 1846-1, DIN EN 1846-2:2010-1, DIN EN 1846-3, DIN EN 1947, DIN EN 15182-2 have been incorporated instead.
