Introduction
The Respirex powered respirator protective suit training version, PRPS(T), has
been primarily developed to train emergency service personnel on the correct
use of the operational version of the Respirex PRPS. The PRPS(T) incorporates a
full range of features similar to those found on the fully operational version of the
PRPS as detailed in the ‘General Information’ section on page 2.
The product is CE marked to a manufacturers specification, RILS0003, based
upon the requirements for respiratory protective devices - powered filtering
devices incorporating a helmet or hood as detailed in EN12941:1998 and satifies
the Basic Health and Safety Requirements, ANNEX II of the PPE Regulation (EU)
2016/425
and Regulation 2016/425 on personal protective equipment as brought
into UK law and amended
. Note: the total mass of the PRPS(T) exceeds that
stipulated for a normal EN12941:1998 filtering device.
