24、atus 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 in the appropriate standard. If for any reas
25、on a complete apparatus is not tested then simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This European Standard applies to self-contained open-circuit compressed air underwater breathing apparatus. The object
26、 of the requirements and tests set out in this European Standard is to ensure a minimum level of safe operation for underwater breathing apparatus to a maximum depth of 50 m. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements. 2 Normative r

They are taken from EN 132 as far as possible: a) self-contained, open-circuit compressed air underwater breathing apparatus a self-contained, open-circuit compressed air u
32、nderwater breathing apparatus is an apparatus which has a portable supply of compressed air carried by the diver, allowing him to breathe under water. Abbreviation: SCUBA the SCUBA, when ready to use, consists of a number of independent elements which comply with the requirements of this standard an
33、d are functionally compatible with each other. When connected together, the complete SCUBA is designed to enable the wearer to breathe air on demand from a high pressure cylinder (or cylinders) via a demand regulator connected to a facepiece. The exhaled air passes, without re-circulation, from the
34、demand regulator via the exhalation valve to ambient water b) high pressure high pressure is the pressure inside the air cylinder(s) and between the air cylinder(s) and the pressure reducer c) medium pressure medium (intermediate) pressure is the pressure between the pressure reducer and the demand
35、valve d) low pressure low pressure is the pressure within the facepiece, approximately ambient pressure e) rated working pressure the rated working pressure is the maximum working pressure of the respective components f) reference pressure the reference pressure is the equilibrium pressure which exi
36、sts in the facepiece when there is no respiratory gas flow g) respiratory pressure the respiratory pressure is the differential pressure in the facepiece relative to the reference pressure measured during inhalation and exhalation h) opening negative pressure (cracking pressure) the opening negative
37、 pressure is the respiratory pressure during inhalation required to open the inhalation valve Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Wed Nov 01 05:04:23 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 250:1993 4 BSI 03-1999 i) displaced (tidal) volume the displaced volume is the volume of breathi
38、ng gas displaced by the breathing simulator during one half cycle (inhalation or exhalation) measured in litres k) breathing frequency the breathing frequency is the setting of the breathing simulator measured in cycles per minute l) respiratory minute volume (RMV) or ventilation rate () the RMV or
39、is the product of the tidal volume and breathing frequency measured in litres per minute m) pressure volume loop the pressure volume loop is the diagram generated during one breathing cycle by plotting the respiratory pressure against the displaced volume n) work of breathing the work of breathing i
40、s the work expended during one breathing cycle measured in J/l. This work is, in general, proportional to the area bounded by the pressure volume loop. Work associated with positive pressures during inhalation does not count towards the total work of breathing o) facepiece a facepiece is a device fo
41、r connecting the apparatus to the wearer. It may be a mouthpiece assembly or a full face mask or a diving helmet p) mouthpiece assembly a mouthpiece assembly is a device usually held by the teeth, sealing against the lips and through which air is inhaled and exhaled q) full face mask a full face mas
42、k is a facepiece covering mouth, nose, eyes and chin and may be fitted with either a mouthpiece or an inner mask r) diving helmet a diving helmet is a facepiece covering the whole head and may be fitted with either a mouthpiece or an inner mask s) dead space the dead space is the volume of the cavit
43、y formed between the mouth and the inhalation and exhalation parts 4 Minimum equipment 4.1 The SCUBA shall be equipped with at least the elements stated in a) to f) and include instructions for use mentioned in g). a) Air cylinder(s). b) Demand regulator. c) Safety device. d) Carrying frame or holdi
44、ng device, for air cylinder(s) with possibility to mount the harness. e) Carrying system. f) Facepiece: mouthpiece assembly or full face mask or diving helmet. g) Instructions for use. 4.2 Sub-assemblies The SCUBA may consist of sub-assemblies. 4.2.1 Package of air cylinders A package of air cylinde
45、rs shall consist of one or more air cylinders with carrying frame. 4.2.2 Demand regulator A demand regulator shall contain a pressure reducer (1st stage) and a demand valve (2nd stage). 4.2.3 Other components Other components of a SCUBA such as warning device, pressure gauge, body harness and straps
46、 may be connected either with the package of air cylinders or with the demand regulator. 5 Requirements 5.1 Design The SCUBA and sub-assemblies shall be so designed and its components shall be so located that protection is achieved against mechanical damage caused by external influence and that it i
47、s possible to perform the required pre-dive functional checks.

In
48、the case of several interconnected cylinders it shall be ensured that pressure equalization between opened cylinder valves and/or open reserve valves is not impeded. The SCUBA and sub-assemblies shall not have any projecting parts or corners and edges which may injure the diver. All parts which have
49、 to be actuated by the diver during use shall be accessible and controllable even when wearing protective gloves (3-finger, 6-7 mm, padding on either side). They shall be designed such that their setting cannot be altered inadvertently during use. Testing in accordance with 6.2 to 6.12. 5.2 Materials The materials used shall have adequate mechanical strength and feature sufficient resistance to changes caused by the effect of temperature individually and in the assembled, ready-to-use SCUBA.
