DRASS has been selected by a reputable manufacturer of SCUBA regulators as the facility to perform their annual product testing according to EN 250 standard.
Such tests are performed using DRASS’ recently manufactured Life Support Equipment Test Facility, capable of testing SCUBA, diving regulators, diving helmets and rebreathers according to applicable standards. DRASS performs a full range of tests including breathing performance up to 50 bar ambient pressure using air, nitrox or helium, both in gas or submerged, cold testing (2-4 °C) with humidification and heating of the breathing gas, carbon dioxide testing, noise testing, etc.
Thanks to the rotating capability of the test tank, vertical and horizontal tests of breathing apparatus can be performed during the same session without the need to vent and blow down the tank between tests.
