For the general public
Is there a feasible way?
Both regulate oneself and supervise others
Can it effectively prevent electric bicycle fires?
E-bike fire safety inspection
"Seven looks, seven checks" working method
You deserve it!
Seven looks, seven checks
Take a look:
Whether the indoor parking place is fireproof.
Check it out:
Whether indoor e-bike parking, charging places and evacuation stairs are completely separated by solid walls for fire protection.
On-site inspection of whether the electric bicycle parking, charging places and evacuation channels, safety exits, personnel accommodation, living and other areas are completely separated by fire protection. Do not use combustible and flammable materials such as wood boards, sandwich foam color steel plates for separation.
↑ Indoor electric vehicle parking and charging places are not separated by fire
↑ When fire separation is effectively carried out and the charging area is set up separately
Second look:
Whether the electric bicycle enters the building in violation of regulations.
Second check:
It is forbidden for electric bicycles to enter the building to park and charge in violation of regulations, and it is forbidden to park, charge and block electric bicycles, occupy evacuation channels and safety exits.
↑ Electric bicycles illegally enter the house, occupy, or block the passage
↑ Electric bicycles are charged in the corridor in violation of regulations
Three looks:
Smart charging facilities.
Three checks:
Intelligent charging facilities with functions such as timed power-off, automatic power-off protection, and fault alarm should be installed in the charging place for electric bicycles.
↑ When smart charging facilities are installed indoors
↑ Outdoor smart charging device
Four looks:
Whether or not to install a video surveillance device.
Four checks:
Electric bicycle parking, charging yard need to install 24-hour video surveillance system, the host of the video surveillance system should be installed in the area not affected by the fire, management personnel to implement the duty system.
↑ Set up a video surveillance system at the charging site
↑ Management personnel implement the monitoring system on duty system
Five looks:
Flying cable charging.
Five checks:
Check the charging wiring on site. Many car owners for the convenience of throwing a long line from the upper floor to the first floor or outdoor direct charging, such a charging method may lead to the line fire or electric shock hazard;
↑ Flying wire charging, multiple belts, plug-in strips and plug-in strips do not meet the requirements
↑ The charging line is connected normally
Six looks:
Whether technical defense measures are in place.
Six checks:
Technical prevention measures such as simple sprinkler facilities and automatic fire alarm systems should be set up in centralized parking and charging places for electric bicycles, and sufficient water pressure and water sources in the pipe network should be ensured.
↑ Sprinkler system setting standard
↑ There are fire-fighting facilities at the electric bicycle parking and charging place
Seven looks:
Whether the fire spacing meets the requirements.
Seven checks:
The outer edge of the protruding site (including the weatherproof shelter) of the electric bicycle shed should be kept at a certain safety distance from the external wall of the adjacent building, and should not be adjacent to the opening parts and safety exits of the external wall doors, windows, openings and other openings of the building. If there is a real difficulty in building close to the neighbor, the safety distance between the outer edge of the carport and the doors, windows and openings set up on the outer wall of the building should not be less than 2 meters;
↑ The protruding edge of the charging area is at a safe distance from the door and window openings
↑ There are no doors and windows on the exterior wall of the adjacent building
