This European standard specifies the requirements for landing valves for wet riser and other wet main systems for firefighting in buildings/structures. The valves generally comply with the standards produced by CEN/TC 69 for general purpose copper alloy globe valves suitable for installation as landing valves on wet riser/mains. Additional requirements are specified for their use as fire hydrants in buildings/structures. These additional requirements include a method of limiting the outlet pressure to a safe pre-determined level to protect the operator of hand-held equipment.
