AIM

The aim of this STANAG is to:

Define the minimum requirements for field medical installations employing a molecular sieve oxygen concentrator system;

Define the minimum standards for Oxygen 93 Percent produced on operations for the continuous, circuit-based supply of a Role 2-3 MTF or to fill pressurized gas containers

Establish a standardised approach to ensure the quality of Oxygen 93 Percent produced on operations, including guidelines for quality testing capabilities on operations and the analysis techniques and sampling regime to be used there;

Enhance the effectiveness of NATO forces when conducting joint operations by introducing a uniform and safe level of oxygen production for medical life support applications, enabling partnering member nations to share production and pressurized container filling capacities between themselves and also exchange filled pressurized gas containers produced by different member nations using their own respective production installations.
