SCBA Testing
SCBA Testing and Reconditioning All self-contained breathing apparatus must pass an annual
performance flow test and must be overhauled at least every
three years, even with infrequent use. Apparatus used daily
or subjected to particularly severe service, such as extreme
temperatures or exposure to chemicals, require more frequent
overhauls.
Overhauls include the cleaning or
replacement of parts as needed, as well as the cleaning of
the harness and high and low pressure hoses and the
facemask.
