33、 designed and constructed to enable the wearer tobreathe air on demand from a pressure vessel(s) either via a pressure reducer and a lung governed demand valveor a lung governed demand valve connected to the facepiece. The exhaled air passes without re-circulation fromthe facepiece via the exhalatio
34、n valve to the ambient atmosphere.5 ClassificationLung governed demand compressed air escape apparatus are classified according to the rated working duration(see 6.24.1) which is defined by performing a breathing machine test in accordance with 7.5.5 with a minutevolume of 35 l/min (20 cycles/min, 1
35、,75 l/stroke).Rated working duration is expressed in minutes and is defined in steps of 5 minutes.It should be recognized that the effective duration may vary according to the work rate.6 Requirements6.1 GeneralIn all tests all test samples shall meet the requirements.6.2 ErgonomicsThe requirements
36、of this standard are intended to take account of the interaction between the wearer, theapparatus, and where possible the working environment in which the apparatus is likely to be used. See Annex ZA.6.3 DesignThe apparatus shall be of simple and reliable construction and as compact as possible.The
37、apparatus shall be designed so as not to interfere with work activities when carried in accordance with themanufacturers instructions.The apparatus shall be so designed that there are no protruding parts or sharp edges likely to be caught onprojections in narrow passages or that may hurt the wearer.
38、The apparatus shall be designed to ensure its full function in any orientation.The ready for use state of the apparatus shall identify the pressure in the pressure vessel(s) prior to use and duringstorage. In the ready for use state the facepiece shall be securely attached to the apparatus. The pres
39、sure vesselhas to be opened easily by hand or automatically when starting the apparatus. In the case of a permanentinstallation of the apparatus in a storage container the apparatus shall be activated automatically upon removalfrom the storage container. In all cases the apparatus shall be locked in
40、 the open position against inadvertentshutting.If a breathing apparatus for working, e.g. “air line equipment“ is used in connection with an escape apparatus theescape apparatus design shall be such as to prevent air loss from the escape apparatus in the event of malfunctionor disconnection of the b
41、reathing apparatus for working.EN 402:2003 (E)7Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.8.6.4 MaterialsThe carrying container and the locking device, where present, shall be adequately protected against corrosion. Thematerials used shall be able to withstand temperatures and mechanical str
42、ess expected whilst being carried on theman as well as on machines and vehicles.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3, 7.5.1 and 7.8.Exposed parts i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus shall not be made ofaluminium, magnesium, titanium or alloys.To prevent el
43、ectrostatic charges on non-metal carrying containers, the surface resistance shall not exceed 109G01.Where the apparatus is required to be anti-static during escape materials used shall be anti-static as far as it ispracticable.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.5.7.Materials which come into
44、 direct contact with the wearers skin and the breathable gas shall not be known to belikely to cause irritation or any other adverse effect to health.The finish of any part of the apparatus likely to be in contact with the wearer shall be free from edges and burrs.Testing shall be done in accordance
45、 with 7.3 and 7.8.6.5 Cleaning and disinfectingAll material used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures recommended by themanufacturer.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.8.6.6 MassThe mass of the complete apparatus including carrying container shall not e
46、xceed 5 kg when designed to becarried on the man for at least 8 h.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3.6.7 ConnectionsThe design and construction of the apparatus shall permit its components to be readily separated for cleaning,inspecting and testing. Demountable connections to achieve this
47、shall be readily connected and secured,preferably by hand.Any means for sealing used shall be retained in position when the connection(s) is (are) disconnected duringnormal use and maintenance.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.8.6.8 HarnessThe apparatus shall have a harness or other
48、 means of carrying so that the wearers hands are left free, when theapparatus is in use.Any harness shall be designed to allow quick, easy and correct donning of the apparatus without assistance.EN 402:2003 (E)8Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.8.6.9 HandlingThe apparatus shall be c
49、apable of being donned and put into operation simply and without undue exertion underdifficult conditions e.g. in the dark and in restricted spaces.If the apparatus is fitted with a special lock, the design shall be such that it cannot be opened inadvertently.If the apparatus has been opened, this shall be obvious by visual inspection.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.8.6.10 Leak tightnessThe ready for use apparatus shall be leak tight so that the pressure change does not exceed 0,3 mbar in 1 min.Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.5
