EN 137 (European Standard for SCBA)

EN 137 is a European safety standard that specifies the design, performance, and testing requirements for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). These devices provide breathable air to firefighters and rescue workers in hazardous environments like fires or toxic atmospheres. The standard ensures SCBAs are reliable, durable, and safe to use, covering aspects such as air supply, pressure, ergonomic design, and safety features. Compliance with EN 137 helps ensure that these critical devices perform effectively during emergencies, protecting users from harmful inhalation risks.
