Standards Development
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.
Reason for changes is to update the test method, delete ambiguous wording, give reference to the PPE regulation, and define clearer information for training units.
Modify temperatures during test. They should reflect the recommended use temperatures. Clear specifications of test termination.
