Interspiro’s
SPIROMATIC S6 is the first Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) certified to
NFPA 1981 (2007 Edition). The approval was
announced on August 31, 2007.
The 2007 edition of NFPA 1981 requires
greater heat resistance and durability from
the electronic components of the SCBA. The
2007 Edition also requires CBRN Approval.
Interspiro was the first manufacturer
to receive CBRN approval for a SCBA in June
2002.
SPIROMATIC S6 is the sixth generation SCBA
of the Spiromatic-S series. The S-series
was first developed in 1998, and designed
in anticipation of the rapid changes in
electronic components and their use by fire
and rescue personnel. As the first truly
modular SCBA design, the S allowed for rapid
integration of these new electronic features
on a reliable, high performance breathing
apparatus.
As new standards have been introduced and
new electronics become more available, Spiromatic
S-series customers have found it easier
to upgrade their SCBA to include these new
featuresipment, automated breathing metabolic
simulators and other test equipment.
What makes this rapid innovation possible
is the modular product concept. Each S-series
component can be user-removed and replaced,
providing ease of maintenance and economical
upgrades as new technologies develop.
Current SPIROMATIC S6 Approvals:
• NIOSH 42 CFR (Part 84)
• NFPA 1981, 2007 Edition
• NIOSH CBRN Approved SCBA
