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.
