Bibliography

This European Standard specifies minimum performance requirements for self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask used as respiratory protective devices, except escape apparatus and diving apparatus.Such equipment is intended for use in work situations where the risk on over pressurisation of the pressure vessels with their valves due to hot environmental conditions is low.Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
