# The Coal and Other Mines (Fire and Rescue) (Amendment) Regulations 1980, Note: Explanatory note


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.
