Re-testing (note c)
Note a) After use in corrosive environments or under extreme environmental conditions
Note b) For self-contained breathing apparatuses that are frequently used, SPASCIANI recommends a full overhaul after
approximately 600 hours, which corresponds, for example, to 1200 uses of 30 minutes each, including training activities.
For devices subject to German regulations, an overhaul is required every 6 years. Users in Germany must comply with the following
requirements: German Fire Brigade Regulations (FwDV 7 and vfdb – RL0804) and national German regulations (BGR 190 or GUV
R190 and GUV-I-8674).
Note c) Every time you disassemble the valve of the cylinder, you must replace it with a new one. Refer to the instructions manual
of the cylinder and valve for the proper torque values. After replacing any part, you must carry out all the operating and pneumatic
tightness checks.
Note d) Operations to be performed only by SPASCIANI
Maintenance operations marked in Table 2 as "qualification required" must be carried out only by the manufacturer or workshops
authorized by the manufacturer. These operations must be performed whenever:
•
The visual inspection described in section 4.3.1 is not passed
•
The checks described in sections 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 are not passed
•
The scheduled maintenance period has been exceeded.
Maintenance can only be performed with original SPASCIANI spare parts. The operations to be carried out and the spare parts to
be applied are described in the specific manual provided by SPASCIANI during the training of authorized personnel.
4.3.1. Visual Inspection
Check that the following components are not dirty or damaged:
• Plastic and rubber parts must not be cracked, chipped, discoloured, deformed, sticky, etc.
• Fabrics and hoses must not be frayed or cut
• Buckles, fastening systems, and connectors must not be corroded and must function properly
• The O-ring on the pressure reducer connector to the cylinder must not be damaged or dislodged.
Important Note: Specifically, check for any signs of oxidation on the surface of the cylinder and/or on metal parts.
4.3.2. Replacement of High-Pressure Connector O-ring
If the O-ring is lost, damaged, or the scheduled maintenance period has been exceeded, it must be replaced with a new O-ring
(see Table, section 11.2).
• Remove the O-ring carefully, ensuring that no screwdrivers or similar tools are used that could damage its seat on the reducer
shaft. It is recommended to use a needle.
• Then, place a new O-ring in its seat, using a silicone lubricant to ensure proper adhesion.
5. STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The devices should be stored in cool and ventilated areas, away from gases, corrosive agents, direct sunlight and heat sources.
When clean and dry, the self-contained breathing apparatuses can be stored in closets or dust-proof cases (see Accessories
par.11.3). For this, make sure the devices are leaned on their backrest and that the straps are not bent.
If stored in their original packaging or special case, the devices do not require special care as far as the transport is concerned. We
nonetheless recommend following the general storage indications already highlighted.
6. CERTIFICATIONS
The SPASCIANI SCBA RN series conform to EN 137:2006 and ISO 23269-2:2011 (only for MED equipment) standards and meet the
requirements of Regulation on PPE (2016/425/EU) and Directives PED (2014/68/EU), MED (2014/90/EU) and ATEX (2014/34/EU).
6.1. PPE - All RN models meet the requirements of the 2016/425 /UE Regulation on Personal Protective Equipment. Notified Body
that performed the type tests for the EU type-examination (Module B) and that carries out the manufacture control according to
the Module D of Regulation (EU) 2016/425: Italcert S.r.l., Viale Sarca 336, 20126 Milan – Italy, n° 0426.
6.2. PED - All RN models meet the requirements of the Conformity Assessment Modules B+D according to Directive 2014/68/UE
on Pressure Equipment. Notified body that carried out the B+D conformity assessment procedure: Italcert S.r.l., Viale Sarca 336,
20126 Milan – Italy, n° 0426.
6.3. MED - The RN FR and RN FR T2 breathing apparatuses marked with the "wheel mark" are fire-fighting devices in accordance
with the MED Directive 2014/90/EU, which, in Item MED/3.7, defines self-contained breathing apparatuses for firefighting as Type
2, in compliance with ISO 23269-2:2011. The devices are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the Conformity
Assessment Modules B+D under Directive 2014/90/EU MED. Conformity assessment body for Modules B+D: Italcert S.r.l., Viale
Sarca 336, 20126 Milan – Italy, O.N. No. 0426.
7. MARKING
All the important parts related to the safety of the device are marked with the serial number and production date.
1.
On the reducer, there is an adhesive label with a bar code (10 alphanumeric characters) and an 8-digit permanently printed
number, which corresponds to all the last six digits of the bar code preceding the year of manufacture. The reducer is sealed in
the factory and the last inspection date is printed on it. This number, unique to each SCBA, is the serial number of the apparatus.
2.
On the demand valve, there is an adhesive label with a bar code (10 alphanumeric characters). In addition to the bar code,
