Breathable air treatment, monitoring, and distribution solutions designed to protect personnel working in environments where the surrounding air cannot be safely breathed without protection.
Breathing air is compressed air that has been treated to protect users when the surrounding atmosphere is polluted or contaminated. Its quality is governed by the European standard EN 12021, which defines the requirements that must be met to ensure a safe air supply for respiratory protective equipment.
Breathing air is compressed air whose quality must be suitable for use with respiratory protective equipment when the surrounding atmosphere cannot be safely breathed.
Examples of equipment concerned:
These solutions are used in particular when the environment contains pollutants, contaminants, or conditions that make it unsafe to breathe the surrounding air directly.
The EN 12021 standard defines the main quality requirements that air intended for breathing must meet.
21% ± 1%
Less than 500 ppm
Less than 5 ppm
Less than 0.5 ppm
The standard also addresses humidity, dew point, odors, and the presence of other contaminants that may affect the quality of the air being breathed.
