Intervention garment 830 Square EV /AS (Intervention garment 830 Square EV /AS)

Common issues

• Outer shell fabric abrasion, tearing or thermal damage reducing protective performance
• Reflective/high-visibility trim degradation and delamination
• Seam and stitching failure at high-stress points (crotch, underarm, cuffs)
• Zipper, closure and fastening hardware corrosion or failure
• Moisture barrier/liner delamination reducing thermal and water protection
• Loss of flexibility or hardening of material after repeated heat exposure or cleaning cycles
• Loss of certification markings/labels through wear, making garment traceability difficult

Inspection checklist

• Visual check of outer shell for tears, burns, chemical staining or excessive wear
• Check all seams, stitching and closures for integrity
• Inspect reflective trim for adhesion and reflectivity
• Check liner/moisture barrier for delamination (stiffness, bubbling)
• Verify size/certification label is present and legible (module B marking)
• Confirm garment is compatible with the matching BA set and rest of the fire-fighter's outfit
• Check for correct storage (dry, ventilated, away from direct sunlight and chemicals)
• Verify garment is within the manufacturer's stated service life

Service intervals

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

• Complete replacement garment (matched size/type - protective PPE is generally not field-repairable without voiding certification)
• Replacement fastening hardware/closures, only if the maker's own repair instructions explicitly permit it
• Replacement reflective trim of the maker-specified material, only if the maker's own repair instructions explicitly permit it

Safety

• A damaged or delaminated garment gives false confidence of thermal protection - remove from service on any doubt
• Do not use beyond the manufacturer's stated service life or after significant chemical/thermal exposure without maker's re-certification
• Garment must be matched to the complete fire-fighter's outfit (BA set, boots, gloves, helmet) - mixing incompatible items voids the protection assumptions

Class survey

Note on this record: it is catalogued under typ 'CO2 Fixed System (Engine Room + Cargo)', but the actual product is a fire-fighter's protective garment (SIOEN 830 Square EV/AS, close-proximity clothing, Module B) - the content above addresses the garment, not a fixed CO2 suppression system. Fire-fighter's outfits are checked at SOLAS fire drills and at Annual/Renewal Survey for correct stowage location, quantity per SOLAS II-2, and condition; class/flag verifies the certificate and that the garment has not exceeded its stated service life.
