The Coal and Other Mines (Fire and Rescue) (Amendment) Regulations 1980
These Regulations amend the provisions of the Coal and Other Mines (Fire and Rescue) Regulations 1956 relating to the testing of suits of breathing apparatus. The requirement that a suit should be tested for leakage by being immersed in water when fully distended under pressure and examined closely for leakage is replaced by a requirement simply to test it while it is fully distended under pressure.
