CEN/TC 79/SC 5 - Fresh air hose and compressed air line breathing apparatus

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.

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, a half mask or mouthpiece assembly 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.

DIN - Modification to 7.3.6.1, 7.6, 8.5

This document specifies minimum requirements for continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, half mask, or incorporating a hood, helmet or suit, and apparatus used in abrasive blasting operations, as a respiratory protective device. Escape and diving apparatus are not covered by this document.
Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of conformance to the requirements.

This document specifies minimum requirements for compressed air line breathing apparatus with demand valve for use with a full face mask as a respiratory protective device. Escape and diving apparatus and apparatus used in abrasive blasting operations without additional protective features are not covered by this document, although certain requirements addressing the use in conjunction with escape apparatus and escape conditions are given.
Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of conformance to the requirements.

DIN - Modification to 8.2

This document specifies minimum requirements for compressed air line breathing apparatus with demand valve for use with a half mask at positive pressure, as a respiratory protective device. Escape and diving apparatus, apparatus for fire fighting and apparatus used in abrasive blasting operations without additional protective features are not covered by this document, although certain requirements addressing the use in conjunction with escape apparatus and escape conditions are noted.
Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of conformance to the requirements.

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a helmet or a hood which is intended for use in gaseous, particulate or combined contaminated atmospheres. Such equipment is intended for use in work situations where the risk of damage to the compressed air supply tube is low. Escape and diving apparatus, and apparatus used in abrasive blasting operations are not included. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a full face mask, half mask or quarter mask which is intended for use in gaseous, particulate or combined contaminated atmospheres.  Such equipment is intended for use in work situations where the risk of damage to the compressed air supply tube is low and where movements of the wearer are limited. Escape and diving apparatus and that used in abrasive blasting conditions are not covered by this European Standard.  Laboratory tests and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for compressed air line and powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus incorporating a hood which are used to provide protection when undertaking blasting work using solid abrasives.   Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for compressed air line breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, a half mask or a mouthpiece assembly and a respiratory protective device. Escape and diving apparatus and that used in abrasive blasting operations are not covered by this standard.   Laboratory and practical perrformance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
