NIOSH do not provide standards for life safety equipment. Further, any accessory items affixed to the SCBA by anyone other than the SCBA manufacturer can void the NIOSH certifications for the breathing apparatus. Your SCBA manufacturer has the ability to provide NIOSH certification to cover the SCBA to include the built-in egress system. RIT can help with unraveling this documentation requirement. Further, the Draeger Safety SCBA is available with the built-in FFRED rescue system (refer to ISRS Integrated Self Rescue System).
