EEBD’s are required on SOLAS ships as of 1 July
2002. The intent of an EEBD is to allow personnel to escape from smoke filled
areas as well as areas where a total flooding CO2 system has been discharged.
They are not intended for confined space entry or firefighting purposes. Coast
Guard will accept NIOSH approved EEBD’s that have a minmum service time of 10
minutes; are supplied air or oxygen type device; and have a full face piece or
hood. Minimum Coast Guard requirements
are at least two units and one spare unit for the overall crew or passenger
living area, and one EEBD for each crewmember normally assigned to continuous
or periodic duty in machinery spaces, and at least one spare EEBD such that any
person visiting machinery spaces will have access to a unit. Note that
compressed air or oxygen cylinders over two inches in diameter will require
periodic hydrostatic testing per 49CFR173.34. Consideration should be given to
providing these devices on uninspected vessels with the number available taking
into account the location and arrangement of berthing spaces as well the science
and crew. Training in the use of EEBD’s
should be considered as part of shipboard familiarization training. (NVIC 06-02)
