24、ngdom.Page 3 EN 145 : 1997 BSI 05-2001 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 ou
25、t 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 characteristics and mass distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This European
26、 Standard specifies minimum requirements for self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus, compressed oxygen (O 2 ) and compressed oxygen-nitrogen (O 2 N 2 ) types, used as respiratory protective devices, except escape apparatus and diving apparatus. Laboratory and practical performance tests a
27、re included for the assessment of compliance 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
28、 hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

The carbon dioxide absorption cartridge contains chemicals which absorb exhaled carbon dioxide. Oxygen or oxy

The gas flow may be of the pendulum or loop type and excess gas is ejected via a relief valve. 4 Designation Designation of a self-contain

36、tion The apparatus are classified according to the nominal working duration. See table 1. 6 Requirements 6.1 Design The apparatus should be of simple and reliable construction and as compact as possible. The design of the apparatus shall be such as to allow its inspection for reliable and safe opera
37、tion. The apparatus shall be sufficiently robust to withstand the rough usage it is likely to receive in service and designed so that it will continue to function satisfactorily while, temporarily, accidentally submerged in water in a normal wearing position (upright) and, thereafter, until the gas
38、in the cylinder is exhausted. WARNING. The apparatus is not designed for use under water.Page 4 EN 145 : 1997 BSI 05-2001 Table 1.

39、P 2 20 2,0 40,0 4 N 4 P 4 20 1,5 30,0 The apparatus shall be designed so that there are no parts or sharp edges likely to be caught on projections in narrow passages. The apparatus shall be designed so that the wearer can remove it, and, while still wearing the facepiece, continue to breathe from th
40、e apparatus. The apparatus shall be designed to ensure its full function in any orientation. The main valve of the gas cylinder(s) shall be arranged so that the wearer can operate it while wearing the apparatus. All individual components of the apparatus, except the breathing hoses and the pressure
41、gauge tube with pressure gauge shall be provided with a protective cover to provide protection against external damage. The gas cylinder valve shall be protected against damage from external elements. The protective cover shall not be able to open accidentally whilst the apparatus is in use. The app
42、aratus shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent ingress of the external atmosphere within the limits set out in this European Standard. The apparatus shall be so designed that chemicals of the apparatus, saliva or condensate shall not interfere with the function of the apparatus or cause a
43、ny harmful effect to the wearer. Parts which are designed for training apparatus shall not be interchangeable with the working apparatus and shall be clearly marked accordingly or manufactured in such a way that they cannot be inadvertently fitted to a working apparatus. Testing shall be done in acc
44、ordance with 7.2 and 7.3. 6.2 Material All materials used in the construction shall have adequate mechanical strength, durability and resistance to deterioration, e.g. by influence of heat and/or moisture. Exposed parts of the apparatus, excluding facepiece and breathing hoses, shall have a surface
45、resistance of less than 10 9 V. Exposed parts of the apparatus, i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use, shall not be made of magnesium, titanium, aluminium or alloys containing such proportions of these metals as will, on impact, give rise to frictional sparks capable of igniting fla
46、mmable gas mixtures. Materials which come in direct contact with the wearers skin and the breathable gas shall not be known to be likely to cause irritation or any other adverse effect to health. Care shall be taken in selecting materials that may come into contact with high pressure oxygen. Testing
47、 shall be done in accordance with 7.2, 7.3 and 7.9. 6.3 Cleaning and disinfecting All parts requiring cleaning and disinfecting shall be able to withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures recommended by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.2 and 7.3. 6.4 Ma
