Appendix A
1. Testing the extinguishing agent container (by an expert):
The extinguishing
agent container needs to be checked by an expert as per directive
2009/104/EC:
·
external check – every 2 years
·
internal check – every 5 years
·
pressure test – every 10 years
Reduce the pressure in the container and empty the container completely. Disconnect all
fittings except the air pressure fitting and close the connections. Remove the safety valve
from the filling unit and close the connections. Fill the container with water through the
filling opening and close the filling unit. Fill the container with 10,4 bar through the air
pressure connector. Check the pressure by a test manometer. The pressure must be held
for 10 minutes. Empty the container and remount the fittings after testing.

2. Testing the air pressure container on the gun (by an expert):
The air pressure container needs to be checked by an expert as per directive
2009/104/EC:
·
external check – every 2 years
·
Pressure test – every 10 years
Remove the bursting disc or safety valve and close the opening with a cylinder screw.
Connect the air pressure hose from the pressure source via a pressure regulator. The
pressure regulator must supply a secondary pressure of 60 bar to the air pressure
coupling of the gun. Put the gun in a water basin, slowly open the valve at the pressure
source, observe the manometer and close the valve as soon as the pressure is 60 bar.
This pressure must be held for 30 seconds. After testing re-install the bursting disc or
safety valve.
