Regulations 1997 and HSE ACOP L101 (2009).
• It is essential site specific risk assessments are
undertaken.
• If in doubt concerning the integrity of any part of the

EEC), PED (97/23/EC) and MED (96/98/EC).
2. DRAGER CF10 AND CF15 EMERGENCY ESCAPE SETS
• You have been provided with a Dräger CF10 or CF15
emergency escape breathing set that provides
respiratory protection to escape from a contaminated
or oxygen deficient environment to a safe breathing
environment.
• The respiratory protection equipment is contained
within a carry bag complete with a neck strap.
• The cylinder valve/reducer has an automatic
activation device that is operated by removing a two-
pronged locking clip. This arrangement automatically
removes the locking clip as the carrying bag is
opened. When the valve/reducer is activated a
pre-set nozzle inside the valve/reducer provides a
constant flow of breathing air to the escape hood.
• The air cylinder is fitted inside the carrying bag but
has a pressure gauge (Figure 1) that is visible outside
the bag.
• The CF10 version has a 2 litre aluminium cylinder
with a nominal duration of 10 minutes.
• The CF15 version has a 3 litre steel cylinder with a
nominal duration of 15 minutes.
• A whistle on the valve/reducer emits a warning when
the cylinder pressure falls to 10 bar to indicate the
end of the rated duration.
• Ensure that the time required to allow the wearer
to escape to a safe area is within the capacity of
the equipment and that the equipment supplied is
suitable for the job in hand.
• PLEASE NOTE - The saver CF15 version (with 3 litre
steel cylinder) exceeds 5 kg. This is considered
unsuitable (as defined in EN 1146) to be carried by
the wearer for more than 8 hours.
