CEN/TC 79/WG 6 - Self-contained breathing apparatus
Specifying minimum requirements for the performance of supplied breathable gas RPD, (i.e. self-contained, compressed air line, fresh air hose breathing devices) for use in the workplace to protect the wearer from hazardous atmospheres and/or environments, during work, rescue and work escape situations.

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

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for self-contained closed-circuit breathing RPDs for escape (short: oxygen escape RPD):
- chemical oxygen type,
- Potassium superoxide (KO2),
- Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) and
- compressed oxygen type.
This European Standard 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.
