National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of

EN 14339:2005. It partially supersedes BS 750:1984 which will be withdrawn
on publication of the revised version which is in progress.
The revision of BS 750 will specify the national operational and health and
safety requirements that are necessary for underground fire hydrants to
conform to BS EN 14339. It will also include specific national requirements not
included in BS EN 14339, including requirements for surface box frames and
covers.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
FSH/17, Fire brigade equipment, to Subcommittee FSH/17/1, Hydrants,
hydrant systems, couplings and indicator plates, which has the responsibility
to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;

— present to the responsible international/European committee any

enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep UK
interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on

request to its secretary.
