This European Standard specifies minimum requirements 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 operations are not covered by this standard. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
