Overview
Not every life-safety decision happens with time to think. In a gas release, a fire in a confined machinery space, or a sudden oxygen depletion event, the person nearest the emergency escape breathing device has seconds to retrieve it, don it, and move. If the device is cumbersome, unfamiliar, or mechanically inconsistent, those seconds disappear — and with them, the margin for safe evacuation.
The Dräger Saver CF15 EEBD (Emergency Escape Breathing Device) is engineered to eliminate that margin loss. Manufactured by Dräger — a German safety technology company with over 130 years of respiratory protection development — the Saver CF15 provides 10 to 30 minutes of breathable compressed air in contaminated or oxygen-depleted atmospheres, giving the wearer the protected time needed to traverse escape routes in maritime and industrial emergency conditions. The product is CE marked and manufactured in accordance with EN 13794 — the European standard for self-contained open-circuit compressed air escape apparatus — confirming it has been independently tested and type-approved to a recognised performance standard.
What separates the Dräger Saver CF15 from comparable EEBDs in this category is the manufacturer behind it. Dräger is not a commodity safety equipment supplier — it is the company that developed many of the respiratory protection standards that the rest of the industry now builds to. The Saver CF15 carries that engineering lineage into a compact, orange-bodied carry pack designed specifically for rapid deployment under stress: a product built by the people who understand, at a foundational level, what emergency respiratory protection actually requires to function correctly when it is needed most.
Key Features
10–30 Minute Compressed Air Supply — Configurable Duration
The Saver CF15 provides between 10 and 30 minutes of breathable air depending on the cylinder configuration selected — a duration range that accommodates both minimum-compliance SOLAS EEBD requirements and extended evacuation scenarios in complex industrial facilities or large vessel layouts. The “CF15” designation refers to the compressed air cylinder configuration for the 15-minute duration variant — the SOLAS-standard EEBD duration — while extended duration variants are available for applications where escape route length or evacuation complexity requires additional air supply time. For HSE managers and safety officers, configurable duration means a single product platform can be specified across multiple risk zones within the same facility, at the duration appropriate to the specific evacuation scenario rather than defaulting to a single duration across all locations.
CE Marked — EN 13794 Type Approval
The Dräger Saver CF15 is CE marked and manufactured to EN 13794 — the European harmonised standard for self-contained open-circuit compressed air escape apparatus. CE marking under EN 13794 requires independent type-testing by a notified body to verify that the device meets the standard’s performance requirements for compressed air delivery, donning time, hood assembly integrity, and duration. For procurement officers sourcing EEBDs for EU-flagged vessels or EU-based industrial facilities, CE marking under EN 13794 is the documentary proof of independent third-party type-approval — and the standard referenced by the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 2014/90/EU for EEBD fitment on EU-flagged commercial vessels.
Compact Orange Carry Pack — High-Identification Storage
The Saver CF15 is supplied in Dräger’s characteristic orange compact carry pack — visible in the product image, with the yellow-green hood assembly partially visible and the “CF15” model designation clearly marked on the pack body. The high-contrast orange body provides immediate visual identification at storage locations in machinery spaces, crew corridors, and pump rooms — where finding the EEBD quickly under emergency conditions is as important as the device’s performance once donned. The carry pack is designed for wall-bracket mounting at designated EEBD stations and for shoulder-carry during transit to the donning point, with the pack geometry sized to fit standard EEBD mounting bracket configurations.
Rapid-Donning Hood Assembly — High-Visibility Yellow-Green
The hood assembly deploys in high-visibility yellow-green — a colour choice that balances the Dräger brand palette with the practical visibility requirements of emergency evacuation environments. The hood is designed for rapid donning without requiring face seal adjustment or sizing — a pull-over design that accommodates a wide range of face and head sizes and can be deployed correctly by an untrained user under stress in the target donning time specified in EN 13794. For vessels and facilities with rotating crew or mixed workforce composition, a hood that does not require pre-sizing or seal adjustment training removes a significant barrier to correct deployment in a real emergency.
Open-Circuit Compressed Air Delivery System
The Saver CF15 operates on an open-circuit compressed air system — meaning exhaled air is vented from the hood assembly to the atmosphere rather than being recirculated or scrubbed. Open-circuit design is the standard for EEBD applications because it eliminates the CO2 scrubber canister that closed-circuit rebreather devices require — removing a consumable component that has a limited service life and requires replacement on a defined schedule. For EEBDs that may be stored for years between use, open-circuit design simplifies long-term serviceability and reduces the risk of an expired scrubber canister compromising device performance at the moment of deployment.
Dräger Build Quality — 130+ Years of Respiratory Protection Engineering
Every component of the Saver CF15 is manufactured to Dräger’s quality standards — a standard set by over 130 years of respiratory protection product development, including products used by fire brigades, military units, offshore operators, and industrial safety programmes globally. For safety officers and procurement managers who have experienced the consequences of sub-standard EEBD assembly — a hood seal that degrades in storage, a valve that sticks under cold conditions, a pressure gauge that reads incorrectly — Dräger’s manufacturing quality provides a level of component reliability that commodity-priced alternatives cannot match at the engineering depth that respiratory protection requires.

Benefits
Independent type-approval eliminates compliance ambiguity at inspection. The CE mark under EN 13794 is issued by a notified body following physical type-testing — not a manufacturer’s self-declaration. For port state control inspections, class society surveys, and flag state audits where EEBD compliance is reviewed, a CE-marked Dräger Saver CF15 with documented EN 13794 approval provides the third-party tested compliance evidence that removes inspector uncertainty about the device’s regulatory basis.
Configurable duration matches device specification to actual escape route risk. Specifying the same 15-minute EEBD across a facility’s entire escape route inventory regardless of route length is a compliance approximation, not a risk-matched specification. The Saver CF15’s configurable duration range allows safety managers to specify 10-minute devices at short-route locations and 30-minute devices at locations where complex evacuation routes or extended transit times are a documented risk — without switching to a different product platform or manufacturer.
Open-circuit design reduces long-term maintenance complexity. Unlike closed-circuit rebreather EEBDs that require CO2 scrubber canister replacement on a defined service schedule, the Saver CF15’s open-circuit design has no consumable scrubber component. Long-term maintenance is simplified to cylinder pressure inspection and periodic service intervals — reducing the component tracking and replacement administration overhead for safety officers managing large EEBD inventories across multiple vessel or facility locations.
Dräger brand recognition supports crew training compliance and confidence. Crew members who recognise the Dräger name and product design from drill training, safety equipment demonstrations, and industry familiarity are more likely to deploy an EEBD correctly under stress than crew members encountering an unfamiliar brand for the first time in an actual emergency. For vessels and facilities where EEBD drill frequency is limited by operational scheduling, the Dräger brand’s global recognition in safety equipment provides a marginal but real confidence advantage at the point of emergency deployment.
Compact carry pack dimensions fit standard EEBD bracket configurations. The Saver CF15’s carry pack is designed to fit standard EEBD wall-mounting bracket configurations used across commercial vessels and industrial facilities — meaning installation at existing EEBD stations does not require bracket replacement or custom mounting fabrication. For fleet-wide EEBD replacement programmes, compatible bracket dimensions reduce installation labour and eliminate the risk of incompatible mounting at existing EEBD locations.
Who It’s For
The Fleet Safety Superintendent Specifying LSA Equipment Across Multiple Vessels
You’re responsible for LSA equipment specification across a managed fleet of 8–20 vessels under various flag states and classification society requirements. You’ve had compliance findings related to non-type-approved EEBD equipment on two vessels in the past 18 months and you’re standardising EEBD procurement to a single CE-marked, EN 13794-approved product across the fleet. The Dräger Saver CF15 gives you a documented type-approval basis, a recognisable manufacturer whose approval documentation is accepted by major classification societies without challenge, and a configurable duration range that can cover your fleet’s varying vessel types and escape route layouts from a single product platform.
The HSE Manager at a Petrochemical or Refinery Complex
Your facility has designated escape routes across processing units where hydrocarbon vapour release can create an IDLH atmosphere within seconds. Your previous EEBD specification was chosen on price and is now out of service interval — and your last internal audit flagged the absence of EN 13794 CE marking on the current units as a gap against your corporate HSE standards. You need a replacement specification that closes that gap, matches duration to your escape route length mapping, and comes from a manufacturer your corporate procurement team and insurer will accept without further justification. The Saver CF15 closes all three gaps.
The Port Agent or Marine Surveyor Assisting with Pre-PSC EEBD Compliance
A vessel has arrived at your port with expired or non-compliant EEBDs flagged in the pre-inspection check. You need to source replacement units quickly — ideally from a manufacturer whose approval documentation a PSC officer will accept without question. The Dräger Saver CF15’s CE marking, EN 13794 compliance, and Dräger brand recognition make it the low-friction choice for urgent pre-PSC EEBD replacement where the compliance documentation needs to be immediately defensible to the inspecting officer.
Possible Applications
- SOLAS EEBD mandatory fitment on passenger and cargo vessels — type-approved EEBD provision at crew duty stations, machinery space access points, and accommodation corridors on SOLAS-convention commercial vessels requiring CE-marked, EN 13794-compliant devices
- Engine room and machinery space emergency evacuation — staged at engine room entry ladders and control stations on container vessels, bulk carriers, and tankers where fire and smoke present the primary inhalation hazard during emergency evacuation
- Offshore platform processing area escape routes — deployed at escape route staging points on fixed and floating offshore installations where hydrocarbon gas release may accompany emergency evacuation, requiring extended duration coverage for complex platform layouts
- Petrochemical and refinery processing unit evacuation — staged along designated evacuation corridors in processing areas where toxic gas release, vapour cloud events, or fire may create immediately dangerous atmospheres requiring independent air supply for safe traversal
- Tunnel and underground infrastructure maintenance — emergency escape provision for maintenance teams in tunnel environments where fire, smoke, or oxygen displacement from ground gases creates an immediate inhalation hazard across extended escape routes requiring 30-minute duration coverage
- Power generation facility emergency escape — staged in turbine halls, boiler rooms, and cable distribution tunnels where fire or gas release in enclosed plant areas may require evacuation through smoke-filled zones to reach fresh air muster points
- Fleet-wide LSA standardisation programmes — single CE-marked, EN 13794-type-approved EEBD specification deployable across mixed commercial fleets under multiple flag states and classification society requirements, with configurable duration for vessel-type-specific escape route lengths

Trust and Certifications
CE Marked — EN 13794 (Self-Contained Open-Circuit Compressed Air Escape Apparatus)
The Dräger Saver CF15 carries CE marking under EN 13794, the European harmonised standard for self-contained open-circuit compressed air escape apparatus. CE marking under EN 13794 requires independent type-testing by an EU-recognised notified body, confirming the device meets the standard’s performance requirements for air delivery rate, duration, donning time, hood assembly integrity, and cylinder pressure. EN 13794 is the standard referenced in the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 2014/90/EU for EEBD type-approval on EU-flagged vessels — making CE marking under EN 13794 the relevant regulatory credential for EEBD procurement on EU-flagged commercial shipping.
Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 2014/90/EU Compatibility
The MED requires life-saving appliances fitted on board EU-flagged vessels to be type-approved against the performance standards specified in IMO instruments, with EN 13794 being the applicable harmonised standard for EEBDs. The Dräger Saver CF15’s CE marking under EN 13794 provides the MED-referenced type-approval basis required for EEBD fitment on EU-flagged vessels — eliminating the compliance uncertainty that arises from fitting EEBDs certified only under national or non-harmonised standards on MED-governed vessel categories.
SOLAS Chapter III — International Convention Compliance
SOLAS Chapter III mandates EEBD provision on applicable vessel types and specifies maintenance, placement, and quantity requirements. The Saver CF15 is manufactured to SOLAS EEBD performance requirements — compatible with flag state and classification society EEBD fitment and maintenance obligations for commercial vessels operating under the SOLAS convention. The combination of SOLAS compliance and EN 13794 CE marking covers both international convention requirements and EU harmonised type-approval requirements within a single product specification.

Dräger products are deployed on naval vessels, in deep-sea diving operations, in chemical production facilities, and on passenger aircraft — applications where respiratory protection failure has consequences measured in lives rather than compliance findings. The Saver CF15 is not a peripheral product line from a general safety equipment catalogue — it is a dedicated emergency escape breathing device from the company whose engineering legacy spans the entire modern history of respiratory protection development.
Accessories and Variants
Dräger Saver CF10 — 10-Minute Duration Variant
The Saver CF10 provides 10 minutes of compressed air supply — appropriate for EEBD locations on short escape routes where the 15-minute duration of the CF15 exceeds the credible evacuation time for the specific staging location. Specifying duration-matched EEBDs by escape route length rather than defaulting to a single duration across all locations is a risk-proportionate approach that some classification societies and HSE auditors may identify as best practice in facility safety documentation.
Dräger Saver CF30 — 30-Minute Duration Variant
The Saver CF30 provides 30 minutes of compressed air — the extended duration variant for complex escape routes, large vessel layouts, offshore platforms, or tunnel environments where evacuation time may credibly exceed the 15-minute baseline. The CF30 uses the same carry pack and hood assembly platform as the CF15, maintaining consistent donning procedures across all duration variants within the same facility or fleet inventory.
EEBD Wall-Mounting Bracket
Purpose-designed wall-mounting brackets for the Saver CF-series carry pack ensure correct, accessible, SOLAS-compliant fixed installation at crew duty stations and machinery space access points. Compatible bracket configurations support standard mounting at existing EEBD stations without requiring structural modification or custom fabrication.
