20、 has been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/TC79, Respiratory protective devices, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requiremen
21、ts of the EC Directive(s). This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical test or by endorsement, at the latest by February1995 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February1995. According to the CEN/CE
22、NELEC Internal Regulations, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UnitedKingdom.EN269:1994 BSI 06-1999 3 In
23、troduction 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 apparatus where specified
24、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 minimum requiremen
25、ts for powered fresh air hose breathing apparatus incorporating a hood as a respiratory protective device. Two classes of apparatus are covered, the differentiation resulting from mechanical performance and not respiratory protection. Escape and diving apparatus and that used in abrasive blasting op
26、erations 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 reference, provisions from other publications. These normative ref
27、erences are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

32、ing apparatus incorporating a hood apparatus which is not self-contained and in which breathable fresh air is blown from an air source by means of a powered air supply 4 Description The construction of this apparatus enables the wearer to be provided with breathable fresh air which is forced through
33、 a low pressure air supply hose and a breathing hose by a powered air supply. The exhaled and excess air flows into the ambient atmosphere. Where a full face mask, half mask or mouthpiece assembly is incorporated into a hood the apparatus is classified as being fitted with a full face mask, half mas
34、k or mouthpiece assembly. 5 Classification 5.1 Classification Apparatus shall be classified in terms of robustness of construction in accordance with Table 1. Both class1 and class2 provide the same level of respiratory protection. Table 1 Classification of apparatus 5.2 Designation Respiratory prot
35、ective devices meeting the requirements of this standard shall be designated as follows: Fresh air BA EN 269 (class) Example: Fresh air BA EN 269 class 2. Class Apparatus details 1 Light duty construction 2 Heavy duty constructionEN269:1994 4 BSI 06-1999 6 Requirements 6.1 Materials 6.1.1 All materi
36、als used in the construction shall have adequate mechanical strength, durability and resistance to deterioration by heat. 6.1.2 Exposed parts of the apparatus i.e. those that may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus, shall not be made of aluminium, magnesium, titanium or alloys contain
37、ing 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 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
38、 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 of sharp edges or burrs. 6.1.5 The requirements of 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and6.1.4 shall be assessed by visual inspection in accordance with 7.2. 6.2 Cl
39、eaning and disinfecting The materials used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures recommended by the manufacturer. Testing in accordance with 7.2. 6.3 Resistance to temperature 6.3.1 After storing in accordance with 7.3.1 and returning to room temperature the apparatus s
40、hall show no appreciable deformation or distortion of the lens(es) or visor and all performance requirements of this standard shall be met. 6.3.2 After storing in accordance with 7.3.1 the apparatus shall continue to operate satisfactorily as assessed by the procedures of 7.3.2 and 7.3.3. 6.3.3 Appa
41、ratus specifically designed for temperatures beyond the limits for storage or use given in 7.3.1 shall be tested and marked accordingly. 6.4 Inward leakage The continuous flow valve (if fitted) in the “minimum flow” position shall permit the minimum flow specified by the manufacturer, when measured
42、at the coupling to the hood and with the maximum stated length of air supply hose and filter(s) if fitted and the inward leakage shall not exceed an average of0,5% of the inhaled air of any of the10 test subjects in any of the test exercises when tested in accordance with7.4. 6.5 Flammability After
43、beign tested in accordance with 7.5 all exposed components of the apparatus including the hood shall not continue to burn for more than5s after removal from the flame. 6.6 Practical performance test When assessed in accordance with 7.6 the apparatus shall be such that it can be worn without avoidabl
44、e 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. These tests serve the purpose of checking the equipment for imperfections that ca
45、nnot 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 describe the test which revealed these
46、 imperfections. This will enable other test stations to duplicate the tests and assess the results thereof. 6.7 Connectors 6.7.1 General Components of the apparatus shall be readily separated for cleaning, examining and testing. All demountable connections shall be readily connected and secured, whe
47、re possible by hand. Any means of sealing shall be retained in position when the joints or couplings are disconnected during normal maintenance. Testing in accordance with 7.2 and 7.6. 6.7.2 Couplings The apparatus shall be constructed so that any twisting of the breathing hose or fresh air supply h
48、ose does not affect the fit or performance of the apparatus, or cause either hose to become disconnected. The design of the coupling shall be such as to prevent unintentional interruption of the air supply. Testing in accordance with 7.2 and 7.6. 6.7.3 Strength of breathing hose connections When tes
49、ted in accordance with 7.7, the connections of the breathing hose to the belt and to the hood shall withstand axially a force of250N for10s for class2 and50N for10s for class1 apparatus. 6.8 Connection between apparatus and hood The connection between the hood and the remainder of the apparatus may be achieved by a permanent or special type of connection or by a screw thread connection.EN269:1994 BSI 06-1999 5 Threads defined in EN148-1, EN148-2 and EN148-3 shall not be used for the
