an 8-digit number is permanently printed on the demand valve which corresponds to the last six digits of the barcode preceded
by the year of manufacture.
3.
All the hoses are marked with the production date (yy/mm).
4.
The membrane of the demand valve and other rubber parts bear a date stamp indicating the year and month of manufacture.
5.
The entire device has a label on a metal plate affixed to the belt (see label example) and which contains all the markings
required by the Directives and Technical standards of reference:
- Manufacturer name and address (A)
- Type of device (SCBA) (G) and model name (B)
- Marking
(E) that indicates the essential requirements respectively established by Regulation 2016/425/EU and Directive
2014/68/UE were met, followed by the number of the Notified Body that performed the production control (N° 0426 Italcert S.r.l.,
V.le Sarca, 336, 20126 Milan - Italy)
- Wheel mark
(D) (only for MED type) indicating that they meet the essential requirements laid down by Directive 2014/90/UE
followed by the number of the Notified Body that carries out the control of production (N° 0426 Italcert S.r.l., V.le Sarca, 336,
20126 Milan - Italy) and the year of its affixing.
- Reference standard as per Regulation (EU) 2016/425: EN 137:2006 and classification (Type 1 or Type 2) (C);
- Reference standard as per 2014/90/UE Directive: ISO 23269-2:2011 (H)
- Maximum operating pressure (PS) and minimum and maximum temperature of operation (TS) (F)

- Expiration date of approval Mod.B MED (L).
8. MED approved SCBAs - RN FR, RN FR T2
Wheel-marked Spasciani RN FR and RN FR T2 SCBAs comply with the requirements of 2014/90/EU MED Directive and therefore
are suitable for firefighting on ships (par. 7 of manual instruction).
RN FR and RN FR T2 are certified as marine equipment only with the TR 82 and TR 2002 masks (see Table 3 – Configurator).
IMPORTANT: item MED 3.7 of the Implementing Regulation 2024/1975/EU requires to associate the breathing apparatus with a
fireproof lifeline in accordance with item MED 3.44, used together with the breathing apparatus and capable of being attached by
means of a snap-hook to the harness of the apparatus or to a separate belt to prevent the breathing apparatus becoming detached
when the lifeline is operated. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that he uses the breathing apparatus with the lifeline, as it
is an obligation of the FSS code which shows the firefighter outfit.
9. SELF-BREATHING APPARATUS FOR USE IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES Line
The RN, RN T1, RN FR, RN FR T2 self-contained breathing apparatus that additionally bear the wording ATEX are available with a
specific marking for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
They are non-electrical devices that can be used in various types of explosive atmospheres as specified by the marking on them:
II 1G Ex h IIC T6 Ga non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the possibility that explosive
atmospheres due to the presence of gas occur - Zone 0
II 1D Ex h IIIC T85°C Da non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the possibility that explosive
atmospheres due to the presence of dust occur - Zone 20
The ATEX line self-contained breathing apparatus have a label on the frame (see Example B) which shows the classification of the
environments (the markings are those reported in Directive 2014/34/EU and in the technical standards EN ISO 80079-36, EN ISO
60079-37).
Where:
