Respiratory protective devices - Powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus incorporating a hood - Requirements, testing, marking
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus incorporating a hood as a respiratory protective device. Two classes of apparatus are covered, the differentiation resulting from mechanical performance and not respiratory protection. Escape and diving apparatus and that used in abrasive blasting operations are not covered by this standard. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
Atemschutzgeräte - Frischluft-Druckschlauchgeräte mit Motorgebläse in Verbindung mit Haube - Anforderungen, Prüfung, Kennzeichnung
Diese Europäische Norm enthält Mindestanforderungen für Frischluft- Druckschlauchgeräte mit Motorgebläse, die in Verbindung mit einer Haube verwendet werden, als Atemschutzgerät. Zwei Geräteklassen sind vorgesehen, wobei der Unterschied in der mechanischen Ausführung und nicht im Atemschutz liegt. Flucht- und Tauchgeräte sowie Geräte, die bei Strahlarbeiten eingesetzt werden, sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
Appareils de protection respiratoire - Appareils de protection respiratoire a air libre a assistance motorisée avec cagoule - Exigences, essais, marquage
La présente norme européenne fixe les exigences minimales des appareils de protection respiratoire à air libre à assistance motorisée avec cagoule, utilisés en tant qu'appareils de protection respiratoire. Deux classes d'appareils sont couvertes, la différenciation étant fonction des performances mécaniques et non pas de la protection respiratoire offerte. Les appareils destinés à l'évacuation, à la plongée et ceux ultilisés dans les opérations de projection d'abrasifs ne sont pas couverts par cette norme.

Overview
EN 269:1994 is a European (CEN) standard specifying minimum requirements for powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus that incorporate a hood. The standard covers mechanical and performance aspects, testing, and marking for these respiratory protective devices. It defines two classes of apparatus based on mechanical performance (not on respiratory protection level) and sets out laboratory and practical performance tests to assess compliance.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and devices covered
- Powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus incorporating a hood (supplied-air type).
- Two equipment classes differentiated by mechanical performance characteristics.
- Exclusions: escape apparatus, diving equipment, and apparatus used in abrasive blasting operations are specifically not covered.
- Minimum requirements
- Mechanical performance criteria (durability, hose and hood integrity, connections) - general requirement scope described in the standard.
- Requirements for powered supply units (motor/blower) in relation to the hooded apparatus.
- Testing and assessment
- Laboratory tests and practical performance tests are included to verify compliance with the stated requirements.
- Tests cover mechanical behaviour and operational performance under representative conditions.
- Marking and documentation
- Requirements for clear marking of the apparatus and provision of user information to ensure safe selection and use.
Applications
- Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers developing or certifying powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus with hoods.
- Independent test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies conducting performance and safety testing.
- Occupational safety professionals, procurement teams, and compliance officers specifying or selecting supplied-air hood systems for workplaces.
- Typical practical uses
- Selection and certification of powered supplied-air systems where a hood is preferred for facial coverage.
- Establishing test protocols and acceptance criteria during product development and quality control.
- Assisting purchasers and safety managers to verify that equipment meets recognized European minimum requirements.
Related standards
- EN 269:1994 is a CEN standard; users should consult other relevant CEN/ISO standards on respiratory protective devices for additional guidance on fit, performance classes, and complementary test methods. Note that EN 269 does not cover escape, diving, or abrasive blasting apparatus - such devices are addressed by separate standards.
