Standards
It is vital that emergency service organizations offer adequate respiratory protection for their personnel. NFPA® 1987, Standard on Combination Unit Respirator Systems for Tactical and Technical Operations, answers the need for a document addressing the design, use, testing, and certification of CURs not covered by any existing provisions.
NFPA 1986 specifies the minimum requirements for the design, performance, testing, and certification of new compressed breathing air open-circuit self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and compressed breathing air combination open-circuit SCBA, including the supplied air respirators (SARs) that are also known as "combination SCBA/SARs."
