The Importance of Compressed Air Quality Testing Services
Compressed air has the potential to be a highly dangerous substance if not monitored and handled correctly. Direct contact can cause serious damage to a person’s health. Breathing air must be kept at a high enough quality to be deemed safe for use, in line with EU breathing compressed air standards BS EN 12021:2014. The Work In Compressed Air Regulations 1996 outlines those responsible for management and how to safely work with this substance. Once breathing air is compromised it can lead to:
Contamination due to poor air filtration
A drop in pressure leading to insufficient airflow
Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide in the breathing air

Breathing Air Quality Testing FAQs
Will you replace any contaminated breathing air equipment?
Yes, our team is able to make any compressed air system repairs after carrying out an audit. If your pressure vessel is damaged or needs replacing, we offer a full range of servicing and repair options.
How regularly should I get my breathing air quality tested?
The type of breathing air system you have will determine how frequently testing is required. Low pressure air systems require testing in line with the results of a risk assessment, and typically every 3 months. High pressure compressed air systems require more frequent testing based on the lifespan of the filter. Risk assessments should be undertaken to determine this.
How do I know if my compressed breathing air is contaminated?
Conducting regular checks is essential to determining the quality of your breathing air. Anyone who uses compromised or contaminated breathing air faces a serious threat to their health, so it is important that the condition of the air is monitored reguarly.
