Breathing Apparatus Air Quality Testing

Air supplied to breathing apparatus must be clean and safe to breathe — the wearer’s life depends on it. Compressed air for breathing apparatus and air-fed respiratory protection typically originates from a compressor system, which can generate and concentrate harmful contaminants.

Why It Matters

Contaminated air can cause serious health risks and toxic effects. UK regulations require regular testing to ensure compliance and protect your workforce.

Regulatory Requirements

Under:

• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Regulations
• BS EN 12021:2014 Respiratory Equipment Standards

Compressed air for breathing apparatus must be tested at least every three months, or more frequently if there are changes or concerns.
