24、4 BSI 07-1999 3 Introduction A given respiratory protective device can only be approved when the individual components satisfy the requirements of the test specification, which may be a complete standard or part of a standard, and practical performance tests have been carried out on complete apparat

25、us where specified in the appropriate standard. If for any reason a complete apparatus is not tested then simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics and weight distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies

26、 minimum requirements for fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, a half mask or a mouthpiece assembly as a respiratory protective device. Two classes of apparatus are covered, the differentiation resulting from mechanical performance and not respiratory protection. Escape

27、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. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated referenc

28、e, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated

33、4 respectively apply together with the following. 3.1 fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, half mask or a mouthpiece assembly apparatus which is not self-contained in which breathable fresh air is drawn from an air source with or without the assistance of a device 3.2 ov

34、erflow valve a non-return valve, fitted to the breathing hose, that is specifically designed to allow the excess air supply to escape to atmosphere 3.3 breathing bag a device which compensates for variation in the air supply and provides for peak inhalation flow requirements 4 Description NOTEThe te

35、rm “suitable facepiece” means a facepiece complying with EN136, EN140 or EN142 as appropriate. 4.1 Fresh air hose breathing apparatus (unassisted) This apparatus enables the wearer to be provided with breathable air supplied by his own breathing action through an air supply hose to a full face mask

36、or mouthpiece assembly. The exhaled air flows into the ambient atmosphere. This type of apparatus is class2only and cannot incorporate a half mask.EN138:1994 4 BSI 07-1999 4.2 Fresh air hose breathing apparatus (manually assisted) This apparatus enables the wearer to be provided with breathable air

37、which is forced through a low pressure air supply hose by a manually operated device (blower) to a suitable facepiece. In an emergency the wearer is able to inhale whether or not the blower is operating. The exhaled and excess air flows into the ambient atmosphere. This type of apparatus can be clas

38、s1or class2. In certain circumstances a breathing bag or similar device may be necessary. 4.3 Fresh air hose breathing apparatus (poweroperated) This apparatus enables the wearer to be provided with breathable air which is forced through a low pressure air supply hose by a motor driven blower or oth

39、er device such as a compressed air injector to a suitable facepiece. In an emergency the wearer is able to inhale whether or not the device is operating. The exhaled and excess air flows into the ambient atmosphere. This type of apparatus can be class1orclass2. In certain circumstances a breathing b

40、ag or similar device may be necessary. 5 Classification and designation 5.1 Classification Apparatus shall be classified in terms of robustness of construction in accordance withTable 1. Table 1 Classification of apparatus 5.2 Designation Respiratory protective devices meeting the requirements of th

41、is standard shall be designated as follows: Fresh air BA EN 138 (class)(options) Example: Fresh air BAEN138 class2 6 Requirements 6.1 Materials 6.1.1 All materials used in the construction shall have adequate mechanical strength, durability and resistance to deterioration by heat. 6.1.2 Exposed part

42、s, i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus shall not be made of aluminium, magnesium, titanium or alloys containing such proportions of these metals as will, on impact, give rise to frictional sparks capable of igniting flammable gas mixtures 6.1.3 Materials that may

43、come into direct contact with the wearers skin or that may affect the quality of the breathed air shall not be known to be likely to cause skin irritation or any other adverse effect to health. 6.1.4 The finish of any part of the apparatus likely to be in contact with the wearer shall be free from s

44、harp edges and burrs. 6.1.5 Compliance with 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and6.1.4 shall be assessed in accordance with7.2. 6.2 Water immersion The apparatus shall continue to function satisfactorily after being submerged in water and shall meet the requirements of6.19. WARNING. The apparatus is not designed

45、for use under water. Testing in accordance with7.3. 6.3 Cleaning and disinfecting The materials used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfection agents and procedures recommended by the manufacturer. Testing in accordance with7.2. 6.4 Practical performance test The apparatus shall be such that it

46、can be worn without avoidable discomfort, the wearers shall show no undue signs of strain attributable to wearing the apparatus, and it shall impede the wearer as little as possible when in a crouched position or when working in a confined space. NOTEThese tests serve the purpose of checking the equ

47、ipment for imperfections that cannot be determined by the tests described elsewhere in this standard. Where in the opinion of the test station approval is not granted because practical performance tests show the apparatus has imperfections related to wearers acceptance, the test station shall descri

48、be the tests which revealed these imperfections. This will enable other test stations to duplicate the tests and assess the results thereof. Testing in accordance with7.4.
