WARNING!

than 1 kg and will not influence the ergonomic attributes of the harness. We are warningly emphasizing to follow the
restriction of the EN 137:2006 (for example no aluminum parts). Thus means also the overall weight of the SCBA
needs to be chosen according to the EN 137:2006.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
