New S10 test

Rivetjoint....there is a new respirator functional test. Basically you stand in a "tent-like" cubicle and your S10 is tested by connection to a laptop. The software measures minute quantities of smoke (produced by "tea-light" candles) and compares the inside of the respirator with the outside. Completely non-stressful for the wearer, takes about 10 mins. It is a superb test of the fit and functionality of the kit....I found it a real confidence booster. Still have to do the drills though......
