EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 400 testing. EN 400 is a European standard that specifies requirements, testing and marking for self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus (SCBA) and compressed oxygen escape devices used in respiratory protection devices for self-rescue. These devices are designed to provide the user with a safe and reliable source of breathing air in the event of an emergency, such as fire or other hazardous situations.
The standard defines various requirements for SCBAs and compressed oxygen escape apparatus, including design, performance and safety specifications. Devices should be designed to be light and compact and be easy to use and operate in an emergency. It should also be able to provide the user with a sufficient amount of breathable air for a specified period of time and include safety features such as pressure relief valves and alarms to alert the user to a low air supply or other potential hazards.
In addition, the standard specifies various test methods for evaluating the performance of SCBAs and compressed oxygen escape devices. These tests include measurements of breathing resistance, airflow rate, and durability of devices, as well as evaluating their resistance to impact, heat, and other environmental factors. Devices must also pass tests to ensure that they can supply the user with sufficient breathable air in an emergency and withstand exposure to a certain range of gases and vapors without degrading their performance.
Finally, the standard specifies requirements for marking SCBAs and compressed oxygen escape apparatuses, which must include certification or approval marks for the manufacturer, device type and class.
Overall, EN 400 provides a comprehensive set of requirements, tests and markings for SCBAs and compressed oxygen escape apparatus used in respiratory protection devices for personal rescue and ensures that these devices are effective in providing a reliable and safe source of breathable air.
