Can anyone tell me the legal requirements for using compressed air for breathing?

Type of compressor, where the air should be taken from, what filters should be used, testing of the air, etc. Also what pieces of legislation/British and European standards apply.

Thanks
Neil

Have a look at Arco web site.

In a previous job, I used this system & Arco kept the equipment "legal" for us.

Dear Neil

The requirements are in Appendix C of BS 4275 - they are quite lengthy.

Regards
Jane
