This European Standard has been prepared under

20、 a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EC Directive(s). This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest

21、 by February 1995, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 1995.

CEN ENuL38 94 3404589 008bOL O20 Introduction A given respiratory protective device can only be approved when the individual components satisfy the requirements of the test specification, which may be

23、a complete standard or part of a standard, and practical performance tests have been carried out on complete apparatus 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 characterist

24、ics and weight distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies 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 appa

25、ratus 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 compl

26、iance with the requirements. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, 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, subse

27、quent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

31、31 : 1993 Rubber and plastics hoses and 3 Definitions and nomenclature For the purposes of this European Standard the definitions and nomenclature given in EN 132 and EN 134 respectively apply together with the following. 3.1 fresh air hose breathing apparatus for use with a full face mask, half mas

32、k 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 overflow valve A non-return valve, fitted to the breathing hose, that is specifically designed to allow the excess air supply to

33、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 NOTE. The term suitable facepiece means a facepiece complying with EN 136, EN 140 or EN 142 as appropriate. 4.1 Fresh air hose breathin

34、g 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 or mouthpiece assembly. The exhaled air flows into the ambient atmosphere. This type of apparatus is class 2 only and cann

In an emergency the weare

36、r is able to inhale whether or not the blower is operating.

This type of apparatus can be class 1 or class 2. In certain circumsta

37、nces a breathing bag or similar device may be necessary. 4.3 Fresh air hose breathing apparatus (power operated) 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 other device such as a compressed a

38、ir 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 class 1 or class 2. In certain circumstances a breathing bag or similar device may be

39、necessary. 5 Classification and designation 5.1 Classification Apparatus shall be classified in terms of robustness of construction in accordance with table 1. I able 1. Classification of apparatus I class I Apparatus details I 6 Requirements 6.1 Materials 6. I. 1 All materials used in the construct

45、 when in a crouched position or when working in a confined space. NUIT. These tests serve the purpose of checking the equipment 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 prac

46、tical performance tests show the apparatus has imperfections related to wearers acceptance, the test station shall describe the tests which revealed these imperfections. This will enable other test stations to duplicate the tests and assess the results thereof. %sting in accordance with 7.4. 6.5 Con
