Draeger SCBA – Approved to 2018 edition of NFPA 1981/1982

Dräger earned certification for its latest Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) based on the 2018 Edition of National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards, as announced in the common notification from the certification organization.

“Dräger is proud of our legacy of saving North American lives for more than 100 years, and our newest SCBA will continue that tradition for American and Canadian firefighters,” said John Wilson, senior vice president for Dräger U.S. “The worldwide team at Dräger worked to ensure the 2018 Edition of our SCBA would be a fitting successor to the 2013 version.”

The self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, is the foundational tool that provides the greatest amount of airway protection from toxic gas and harmful particulates resulting from the fire. It’s essential for modern firefighting and today’s complex fire grounds.

As the inventor of the modern-day SCBAs specifically for Firefighters, next year Dräger celebrates 80 years since that first SCBA. The Dräger SCBA provides the most robust breathing protection combined with unparalleled ergonomic comfort.

Dräger proudly offers the latest SCBA with extensive updates that earned the 2018 Edition of NFPA certifications.
