For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions specified in ISO 23269-1:YYYY shall apply.

　

The apparatus shall comply with all of the requirements of clause 4 of ISO 23269-1 (Emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD) for shipboard use).

　

The apparatus shall comply with all of the requirements of clause 5 of ISO 23269-1 (Emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD) for shipboard use).

　

The apparatus shall comply with all of the requirements of clause 6 of ISO 23269-1 (Emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD) for shipboard use), with the exception of clause 6.4 (Flame resistance), except that:

　

a) The breathing time for the rated working duration in accordance with clause 6.1 shall be 15 minutes.

　

b) The breathing time for overloading in accordance with clause 6.2 shall be 3 minutes.

　

Apply solvents, trichloroethylene, benzene, solvent naphtha, methanol and kerosene to the eyepiece or transparent part. There shall be no dissolution or deterioration to the extent to make the eyepiece or transparent part unusable.

　

Immerse a facepiece in the liquids listed in Table 1 (temperature of the liquids 22 ± 2 ℃) for 1 hour and hang in air of temperature 22 ± 2 ℃ and relative humidity 95% for 24 hours. There shall be no corrosion or crack to make the facepiece unusable.

　

　

The apparatus shall be tested in accordance with clause 7.1 of ISO 23269-1 (Emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD) for shipboard use).

　

The apparatus shall be tested in accordance with clause 7.2 of ISO 23269-1 (Emergency escape breathing devices (EEBD) for shipboard use), except that a vertical manhole (an opening 600 mm high and 800 mm wide, with the center of the opening at a height of 900 mm from the floor) shall be added to the test course.

　

Each apparatus shall be provided with instructions for use which shall contain all the information, including diagrams, necessary for use and maintenance of the apparatus.

　

Each apparatus shall be marked with:

　

a) Name of the apparatus

　

b) Type of the apparatus

　

c) Year and month of the manufacture
