Blauer Manufacturing announced today that it has successfully passed NFPA 1994 Class 1 certification testing of the 3M™ Scott™ Air-Pak™ X3 Pro SCBA and new Vision C5 facepiece with its Multi-Threat HAZMAT-protective ensemble.
Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), a private, non-profit organization based in Virginia that administers non-governmental, 3rd party certifications to national safety standards, issued the Class 1 certification after completing system-level testing of the Air-Pak™ X3 Pro SCBA and Vision C5 facepiece with Blauer’s popular Multi-Threat ensemble.
According to Tom Ames, Blauer’s Vice President of Marketing & Business Development, “Blauer supports fire departments and HAZMAT technicians around the country with its Multi-Threat ensemble, which is used in a Level A or Level B capacity for a response involving high concentrations of hazardous chemicals. Many of these users operate on 3M’s AV-3000 Series facepiece and are planning or considering the transition to the new Air-Pak™ X3 Pro SCBA and Vision C5 facepiece. By adding the Air-Pak™ X3 Pro SCBA and new Vision C5 facepiece to our Class 1 Multi-Threat certification, Blauer is ensuring that these users are able to integrate these two industry-leading systems with confidence in the level of protection they receive when they need it most.”
