The purpose of this terminology is to establish uniformity in
terminology used in the field of underwater search, rescue, and

The terminology is appropriate to those underwater search,
rescue, or recovery activities that use self-contained or
surface-supplied underwater breathing apparatuses to provide a
breathing gas supply for the searcher(s).
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
