Breathing Air Equipment Inspection, Repair, Cylinder Refill and Testing
Compressed Air Breathing Testing REQUIRED Every 6 Months
The dangers associated with breathing contaminated air are critical when using SCBA tanks in emergency situations. To insure SCBA air quality, CAN3-Z180.1-00 (Section 15.2) requires that air produced by the breathing air system shall be submitted for purity analysis at least once every 6 months. Additional analyses shall be required following major overhaul modifications or extensive repairs to the breathing air system. Many companies have adopted a 3-month air testing schedule and maintenance program.
