What is BS EN 14931 - Performance, safety requirements, and testing of multi-place pressure chambers about?
BS EN 14931 is a European standard that discusses multi-place pressure chambers for hyperbaric therapy to enhance their performance and safety.
BS EN 14931 applies to the performance and safety requirements and their associated test methods for multi-place pressure chambers designed for pressures more than ambient atmospheric pressure and employed in medical installations for therapeutic purposes, in the following are referred to as pressure chambers that ensure a safe working environment for patient carers.
Who is BS EN 14931 - Performance, safety requirements, and testing of multi-place pressure chambers for?
BS EN 14931 on the performance, safety requirements and testing of multi-place pressure chambers \ is useful for:
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels for human occupancy (PVHO)
- Multi-place pressure chamber manufacturers
- Medical laboratories and test centres
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 14931 - Performance, safety requirements, and testing of multi-place pressure chambers?
Pressure chambers for therapeutic use are required for the administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the treatment of decompression illness. These chambers are made to allow the safe administration of hypertoxic gas mixtures at pressure while avoiding the risks of fire within the chamber and uncontrolled compression or decompression.
BS EN 14931 assists you with performance, safety requirements, and testing on general requirements common to the antechamber, general requirements common to the main chamber, main chamber requirements, antechamber requirements, control console, compressed air supply system, treatment gas supply, communications, and emergency power supply.
This assists in testing and evaluating the performance of multi-place pressure chambers to ensure their proper functioning for hyperbaric therapy.
BS EN 14931 also provides you with the operating instruction and marking for multi-place pressure chambers used for hyperbaric therapy.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14931, you can ensure the safety and performance of multi-place pressure chambers used for hyperbaric therapy. In addition, minimise hazards to operators and patients.
