Standard 5-Step SCBA & EEBD Annual Testing Protocol
Our Class-approved technicians execute this standardized procedural workflow to ensure first-time compliance with attending Class surveyors and Indian Port State Control (PSC) inspectors:
-
Cylinder Visual & Ultrasonic Internal Inspection
Inspect exterior composite fiber wrapping and internal steel/aluminum liner for pitting, thread damage, and hydrostatic expiry.
-
Pressure Reducer & First-Stage Valve Calibration
Test primary pressure reducer output pressure (6-9 bar); verify medium-pressure relief valve functions reliably.
-
Demand Valve & Positive Pressure Face Mask Airtightness Test
Mount full-face mask on breathing test mannequin; verify positive pressure seal hold and low-pressure audible whistle activation (>55 bar).
-
Breathing Air Compressor Purity Analysis (EN 12021)
Analyze air from shipboard charging compressor for CO, CO2, oil mist, and moisture dew point using Dräger Impactor tubes.
-
Certification & Color-Coded Inspection Tagging
Issue official Class-approved test certificates for all SCBA/EEBD sets and affix dated annual inspection rings to cylinder necks.
