Abstract

Specifies requirements for design, construction and performance of fixed and swing arm type fire hose reels for use by one operator.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for design, construction and performance of fixed and swing arm type fire hose reels intended for use by one operator.

It does not include requirements for location or maintenance of fire hose reels since these subjects are covered in other Standards.
