4.1  Prerequisites for use

4.1.1 General information

– The protective clothing and head protection that also 

needs to be worn during the incident has been clarified. 

Dissipative protective clothing should be worn for use in 

explosion-hazard areas.

– The leak and functional test on the closed-circuit breathing 

apparatus showed no faults (see "Testing the closed-

circuit breathing apparatus", page 22).

– The requirements, as described in chapter 4.1.2 and 

4.1.3, have been met.

4.1.2 Compressed oxygen cylinder

WARNING

Risk of fire!

Contact between high-pressure oxygen and oils, greases, 

organic materials or similar contamination may cause a fire. 

This can lead to serious physical injuries or death.

Make sure connections are kept clean and free of dirt.

– The filling pressure of the compressed oxygen cylinder 

should be no less than 180 bar in order to be able to 

achieve the maximum period of use possible.

– The compressed oxygen cylinder may only be filled with 

oxygen that meets the following quality requirements:
– Purity: 

 99.5 Vol% oxygen

– Water content: 

 0.05 mg/L oxygen

– Tasteless and odourless
– National regulations apply for the maximum 

permissible contaminants, in Germany for example:

Inert gases (Ar and all other inert gases): 5000 ppm

Carbon monoxide (CO): 5 ppm

Carbon dioxide (CO

2

): 300 ppm

Oil: 

 2.5 mg/m

2

4.1.3 CO

2

 absorber

Refill absorber

– The refill absorber was filled before use and within the last 

6 months. The soda lime used must meet the 

requirements specified in chapter 5.2.7.3.

– The expiration date of the CO

2

 absorber has not yet 

expired when scheduled to be used.

– As soon as the refill absorber is installed in the closed-

circuit breathing apparatus, the CO

2

 absorber can be 

stored for 6 months. The apparatus must have 

successfully passed the leak test and be sealed with the 

protective cap.

– The air-tight shrink-wrapped or installed CO

2

 absorber 

was not transported on a vehicle further than 750 km.

Disposable absorber

– The barrier bag is completely sealed and intact until the 

disposable absorber is installed.

– The expiration date of the CO

2

 absorber has not yet 

expired when scheduled to be used.

– Once the disposable absorber is installed in the closed-

circuit breathing apparatus, the storage time of the CO

2

 

absorber is 6 months, even if the soda lime could be used 

for a longer period, the breathing bag, breathing hose and 

medium-pressure hose are connected and the connecting 

piece is sealed with a protective cap.

– The air-tight shrink-wrapped or installed CO

2

 absorber 

was not transported on a vehicle further than 1500 km.
