Emergency Escape Breathing Device (SK1203)

SK1203 is a compressed air open circuit breathing apparatus with hood for escape from all environments potentially dangerous because of the presence of fumes, smoke or lack of oxygen.

• It is designed to create a constant airflow for >15 minutes thanks to a 2L 300 bar cylinder which is directly connected to the valve/reducer and is provided with a gauge that continuously indicates the pressure inside the cylinder.
• EEBD SK1203 is certified also as ATEX.
  • ATEX is the voluntary certification that recognises the device as suitable for use in potentially explosive environments. According to ATEX certification, which classifies the devices according to their characteristics and conditions of use, SK1203 are non-electrical (in other words, analogue) devices that can be used on the surface (thus excluding mines or deep quarries,) in specific boundary conditions, that is, when the danger of a potential explosion is associated with the presence of gas or dust. Under such circumstances, SK1203 are ATEX devices.
• The SK1203 can be opened and donned in less than 15 seconds and provides up to 15 minutes of clean air.
• Airflow starts automatically and no specialist training is required.
• Cylinders are supplied empty and will need to be filled before being put into service (instructions provided)
• The SK1203 can be re-filled and reused as long as there have been no damage to the unit.
• Ideal for ship holds, confined spaces, tunnels and where large amounts of ammonia or chlorine are present.
