This EN specifies minimum requirements for self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus, chemical oxygen (KO2, NaCIO3) type and compressed oxygen type, for escape (short: oxygen escape apparatus OEA). This EN does not apply to apparatus for work and rescue and to diving apparatus. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
