Breathing air tests

Over time, air supply from compressors can develop contaminants such as oil, water, and dust particles. This can affect the efficiency, reliability and life span of equipment. More importantly however, if a compressor is providing breathing air for operators, for example via air-fed masks, it is absolutely essential that the supply remains clean. Breathing in contaminated air presents a clear risk to the health of the user.

Regular breathing air testing by qualified professionals helps to protect your employees and your production processes from contaminants and is controlled by BS EN 12021 regulations. With years of experience BCAS offers a worry-free breathing air testing service to industry. Our specialist engineers are Factair-certified to test breathable compressed air and ensure it complies with BS EN 12021 standards. We use high-quality, state-of-the-art testing equipment which is regularly calibrated to ensure we provide you with the most accurate results.

“We were extremely impressed with the two gentleman who attended recently when we had a fault with our compressed airline system. I always remember companies who give a good, professional service/value for money, and on this instance they attended our site promptly and conducted themselves in a very safe and professional manner. The problem was soon rectified and they even showed us the faulty part explaining what had caused the fault.”

"We required a company to maintain our plant assets in the form of compressors. BCAS Ltd have proved to be an excellent choice. We recently required an engineer to call to site and diagnose a fault and carry out repairs to enable the plant to keep running. From our first initial call at 8.15 am and on other previous occasions, BCAS staff immediately took ownership through people like Helen, Hannah and Molly, assuring me that an engineer would be on their way as soon as possible to look at the fault. Engineers who also visit site for maintenance and call outs are also very friendly and pleasant. Our overall experience of BCAS is outstanding."

“BCAS were invited to quote for a compressor/vac system installation for a new composite dept. They were quickly able to understand the requirements for the job and even suggested ways in which cost could be saved by using alternative components. Their quote was submitted in a timely manner and was very competitive. We needed to make several changes to the specification near the date of commencement, which was dealt with quickly and efficiently by the installation team. A job well done!”
