(Main)Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus for escape - Requirements, testing and marking
Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus for escape - Requirements, testing and marking
This document specifies minimum requirements for self-contained closed-circuit breathing RPDs for escape (short: oxygen escape RPD)
a) chemical oxygen type
― Potassium superoxide (KO2),
― Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) and
b) compressed oxygen type.
This document does not apply to RPD for work and rescue and to diving apparatus.
Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
Atemschutzgeräte - Isoliergeräte für Selbstrettung - Anforderungen, Prüfung, Kennzeichnung
Dieses Dokument legt Mindestanforderungen für Isoliergeräte für Selbstrettung (kurz: Sauerstoffselbstretter) der folgenden Typen fest:
a) chemischer Sauerstoff:
- Kaliumhyperoxid (KO2);
- Natriumchlorat (NaClO3); und
b) Drucksauerstoff.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Atemschutzgeräte (ASG) für Arbeit und Rettung und nicht für Tauchgeräte.
Laborprüfungen und praktische Leistungsprüfungen sind enthalten, um die Übereinstimmung mit den Anforderungen feststellen zu können.
Appareils de protection respiratoire - Appareils isolants autonomes à circuit fermé pour l'évacuation - Exigences, essais, marquage
Le présent document définit les exigences minimales applicables aux appareils de protection respiratoire isolants autonomes à circuit fermé utilisés dans le cadre d'évacuations (abrégés en APR d'évacuation à oxygène) relevant des types suivants :
a) à oxygène chimique
⎯ à superoxyde de potassium (KO2) ;
⎯ à chlorure de sodium (NaClO3) ; et

This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for second enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical
Committee CEN/TC 79.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.
