Navires et technologie maritime — Appareils respiratoires pour les navires — Partie 1: Dispositifs de respiration pour issues de secours (EEBD) à bord des navires

ISO 23269-1:2008 provides performance specifications for emergency escape
breathing devices (EEBD) required by regulation in Part D of chapter II-2 of the
1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as amended
in 2000, and chapter 3 of the IMO International Code for Fire Safety Systems
(FSS Code). These devices are intended to supply air or oxygen needed to escape
from accommodation and machinery spaces with a hazardous atmosphere. They are
not intended for use in fighting fires, entering oxygen-deficient voids or
tanks, or to be worn by fire-fighters.
