EN 136 Full Face Mask Thermal Radiation Resistance Test Machine

product introduce

The EN 136 full-face mask thermal radiation test machine evaluates heat and flame resistance for SCBA masks used in firefighting and industrial rescue. Compliant with EN 136, ISO 16900-11, and NFPA 1981 standards, it measures material integrity, seal performance, and visibility under high heat flux (≥10 kW/m²). Essential for certifying respiratory safety in extreme environments.

Standard

1. EN 136:1998

Name: Respiratory protective devices Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus

Content: Specifies the protective performance requirements of full-face masks in high temperature, flame or thermal radiation environments, including sealing, field of view and material heat resistance tests.

2. EN 13274-3:2001

Name: Respiratory protective devices Methods of test Part 3: Determination of breathing resistance

Related test: Combined with thermal radiation test, evaluate the change of breathing resistance of the mask under high heat conditions.

3. EN 13274-4:2001

Name: Part 4: Flame tests

Content: Directly involves the flame retardancy test of the mask material under flame exposure to ensure that it does not melt or continue to burn in the fire.

Other relevant standards

1. ISO 16900-11:2019

Name: Respiratory protective devices Methods of test and test equipment Part 11: Determination of flame resistance

Application: Flame retardant test method of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), complementary to EN 136, suitable for global certification.

2. NFPA 1981 (2020)

Name: Standard on Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for Emergency Services

Test requirements: National Fire Protection Association standard, specifies the test method for the thermal radiation and flame protection performance of SCBA masks.
