Breathing Air
The Standard required when using Compressed Air for Breathing Air
What is Required?
When it comes to breathing air quality, safety is non-negotiable!
The EN 12021 standard is crucial in industries like diving, firefighting, and manufacturing where compressed air is used for breathing. This European standard ensures that air is free from harmful contaminants and safe for workers in hazardous environments.
The EN12021 standard ensures that compressed air used for breathing is safe and pure, covering aspects like:
– Oxygen Levels: Must be around 21% ±1
– Carbon Dioxide: ≤ 500 PPM
– Carbon Monoxide: ≤ 5 PPM
– Oil: ≤ 0.5 mg/m³
– Dewpoint: < -11°c
It is advised that the Quality of the Air is tested at least every three months or more frequently if there has been a change in, or related to, the production process.
Following EN12021 isn’t just a regulatory obligation – it’s essential for protecting the lives of workers and professionals who rely on clean, breathable air in hazardous conditions.
