FLOW TEST AND OVERHAUL REQUIREMENTS
FLOW TEST AND OVERHAUL REQUIREMENTS
Your SCBA must be flow tested and overhauled at specif-
ic time intervals. These Maintenance Procedures must be
performed by a trained repairperson or at a Certified
Service Center. Contact your MSA sales representative or
call the MSA Customer Service Center at 1-800-MSA-
2222. They will supply the information you need to meet
these requirements.
The required replacement/overhaul schedule for self-con-
tained breathing apparatus from MSA is based on appara-
tus usage on an individual basis. The frequency required
for SCBA overhaul depends upon how often the appara-
tus is used. MSA breathing apparatus must be overhauled
based on the actual level of usage, rather than on time
alone.
Overhaul is covered in the Regulator Disassembly and
Repair sections and includes installation of the regulator
overhaul kits.
MSA breathing apparatus must be flow tested every year
using an MSA approved flow test device. The following
table summarizes MSA’s required frequency for overhaul
and flow testing.
A decision to retire an air mask should be based on a
SCBA’s performance data and whether that data meets
the specified level of performance as defined in mainte-
nance requirements from MSA.
*The unit of SCBA use is defined as the consumption of
one 30 min. cylinder of air. Example: If three cylinders of
air are used, the SCBA would be considered to have been
used three times.
If an assessment of a SCBA’s usage cannot be estimated
or determined, then the SCBA shall be overhauled every
three years.
