5、dual equipment specification 3 List of references Inside back coverBSN6:1998 ii BSI 05-1999 Foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of Technical Committee ACE/38 and specifies requirements for the construction and performance of aeromedical portable oxygen concentrators.

6、 The aircraft may not be specifically adapted for the oxygen concentrator, but the oxygen concentrator may require an electrical power source. The location of the oxygen concentrator in the aircraft is compatible with normal usage and impact conditions. The oxygen supplied from the concentrators is

7、intended for aeromedical purposes to enable disabled or incapacitated persons to travel on passenger aircraft without the need for recourse to heavy, and bulky, supplies of bottled oxygen. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Sta

8、ndards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to4, an inside back cover and a back cover. This s

9、tandard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BSN6:1998 BSI 05-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for the construction and performance of aeromedical oxygen conce

10、ntrators and defines the characteristics of the gas to be delivered at the system outlet for aeromedical purposes in support of planned requirements of passengers.
