Overview
When toxic smoke, oxygen displacement, or hazardous gas release compromises a vessel’s atmosphere, crew members have a very short window to act. Escape routes through machinery spaces, accommodation corridors, and pump rooms can become lethal within minutes — and the equipment available at the point of need determines whether that window is survivable. An emergency escape breathing device that fails to perform when deployed is not merely a compliance gap; it is a fatal equipment failure at the worst possible moment.
The HWAYAN EEBD TH15B is a SOLAS 1974-compliant emergency escape breathing device designed for deployment in exactly those conditions. Supplied as a complete set — yellow high-visibility hood assembly, compressed air cylinder at 210 Bar, and compact red carry bag marked “TH15 EEBD” — it delivers the minimum 15-minute air supply duration required by the IMO LSA Code for emergency evacuation on commercial vessels. The high-visibility yellow hood is a recurring design choice among field-proven EEBD manufacturers for a specific reason: in smoke-filled spaces with degraded visibility, a yellow-hooded crew member is recoverable by rescue teams. A neutral-hooded one may not be.
What distinguishes the HWAYAN TH15B in this product category is its custom-made availability with a minimum order quantity of one unit and a 15-day delivery period. For ship managers, procurement officers, and HSE teams dealing with unplanned EEBD replacement — whether triggered by a failed inspection, an actual deployment, or a service interval — the ability to procure a single SOLAS-compliant unit on a defined lead time, rather than being forced into bulk minimum orders from standard stock, is a practical operational advantage that directly reduces compliance risk exposure windows.
Key Features
SOLAS 1974 Compliance — TH15B Model Designation
The HWAYAN EEBD TH15B is manufactured in accordance with SOLAS 1974, as amended — the international convention that establishes mandatory safety standards for commercial vessels and specifies EEBD fitment requirements under Chapter III (Life-Saving Appliances and Arrangements). The TH15B model designation identifies this as a 15-minute duration EEBD meeting the LSA Code performance requirements for emergency escape breathing devices. For flag state surveys, classification society renewals, and port state control inspections, SOLAS-compliant EEBD documentation is a mandatory inspection item — and a type-approved unit from a manufacturer supplying against the SOLAS standard eliminates the compliance ambiguity that can arise with non-specifically-marine breathing apparatus.
High-Visibility Yellow Hood Assembly
The hood is manufactured in high-visibility yellow — visible in the product image alongside the red carry bag and compressed air cylinder. In smoke-filled emergency evacuation conditions, where ambient visibility may be near zero, a high-visibility hood colour provides two practical safety functions: it makes the wearer identifiable to rescue and damage control teams operating in the same space, and it supports headcount and accountability during post-incident muster. Vessels where crew members work in dispersed locations across multiple decks benefit from the search-and-rescue visibility that a high-visibility hood provides, particularly in scenarios where the emergency affects multiple crew members simultaneously.
210 Bar Compressed Air Cylinder — ≥15 Minute Duration
The EEBD is supplied with a compressed air cylinder operating at 210 Bar working pressure — the standard configuration for portable escape breathing apparatus cylinders at this duration class. At normal breathing rate during evacuation exertion, the cylinder delivers a minimum 15 minutes of continuous airflow — the LSA Code benchmark for EEBD duration on passenger vessels and the most widely specified duration across commercial marine and industrial applications. The 210 Bar working pressure is a well-established standard in the compressed breathing apparatus industry, with a broad service and recharge network available through marine equipment service centres globally.
Compact Red Carry Bag — “TH15 EEBD” Marked
The complete EEBD assembly is stored in a compact red carry bag clearly marked “TH15 EEBD” — visible in the product image. The red carry bag provides high-contrast visual identification at storage locations, supporting rapid retrieval in emergency conditions where the crew member needs to locate, retrieve, and don the device in minimal time. Clear product marking on the carry bag also supports inventory management and inspection compliance — monthly inspections can confirm device identity and storage location at a glance without removing the device from its mounting position.
Custom-Made Availability — MOQ 1, 15-Day Delivery
The HWAYAN TH15B is available on a custom-made basis with a minimum order quantity of one unit and a stated delivery period of 15 days. This procurement flexibility is operationally significant for vessel operators and facility managers who need to replace a single failed, deployed, or out-of-service EEBD without triggering a bulk procurement process. SOLAS maintenance requirements mandate that EEBDs are in serviceable condition at all times — a replacement unit available on a single-unit basis within 15 days directly supports compliance gap closure on a defined timeline, without the inventory overhead of maintaining large on-board EEBD reserves.
Complete Set Supply — Hood, Cylinder, and Carry Bag
The HWAYAN TH15B is supplied as a complete set: hood assembly, charged compressed air cylinder, and carry bag — ready for immediate staging at the designated EEBD location on receipt. Complete set supply eliminates the procurement and assembly complexity of sourcing hood assembly, cylinder, and carry bag separately, and ensures the complete unit has been assembled and checked as a matched set by the manufacturer rather than field-assembled from individually sourced components. For procurement officers managing EEBD replacement across a vessel fleet, complete set supply simplifies ordering, receiving inspection, and maintenance record documentation.

Benefits
Close SOLAS compliance gaps on a defined timeline without bulk procurement. A single failed or deployed EEBD creates an immediate SOLAS compliance gap at the affected duty station. The HWAYAN TH15B’s MOQ-1 availability and 15-day delivery period gives safety officers and procurement managers a reliable, documented lead time for single-unit replacement — enabling a specific compliance remediation timeline to be communicated to the ship manager, flag state, or classification society without indefinite “awaiting stock” ambiguity.
Complete set supply eliminates assembly error risk. Field-assembled EEBDs sourced from multiple component suppliers introduce the risk of incompatible component matching or incorrect assembly — particularly for crew members or shore teams assembling replacement units under time pressure ahead of a survey or port call. A manufacturer-assembled, tested complete set eliminates that risk and provides a single supply chain reference for warranty and service documentation.
High-visibility hood supports search and rescue operations in smoke conditions. In real fire evacuation scenarios on vessels and offshore platforms, incapacitated crew members in smoke-filled spaces are difficult to locate. A crew member wearing a high-visibility yellow hood is identifiable by thermal imaging and white-light search at distances where neutral-colour hoods may not be visible — a detail that has operational consequences in post-event rescue scenarios.
Custom-made basis supports non-standard procurement requirements. For vessels operating under flag states or classification society requirements with specific EEBD specifications beyond the standard TH15B configuration, the HWAYAN custom-made availability means non-standard configurations can be sourced through the same supplier and delivery timeline — rather than requiring a separate specialist procurement process for modified specifications.
210 Bar cylinder compatibility with standard marine recharge networks. The 210 Bar working pressure is a standard across the portable compressed breathing apparatus industry — meaning replacement cylinders and cylinder recharge services are available through marine equipment service centres at ports globally. Vessel operators are not dependent on a proprietary cylinder recharge network or specialist equipment supplier for ongoing EEBD maintenance, which reduces service complexity for vessels operating across multiple port regions.
Who It’s For
The Ship Master or Safety Officer Facing an Unplanned EEBD Replacement
Your monthly EEBD inspection identified a cylinder pressure below the serviceable threshold — or a unit was deployed during a drill or actual emergency. You have a SOLAS compliance gap at the affected duty station and a PSC inspection scheduled within the next three weeks. You need a single replacement EEBD on a confirmed lead time, SOLAS-documented, and delivered as a ready-to-stage complete set. The HWAYAN TH15B’s MOQ-1, 15-day delivery, and SOLAS 1974 compliance give you exactly that — and a documented procurement trail for your maintenance records.
The Marine Procurement Officer Managing Diverse Fleet LSA Requirements
You manage LSA equipment across a fleet with vessels under different flag states, operated by different crewing companies with varying EEBD inspection histories. Replacement EEBD requirements are irregular and unpredictable — you may need one unit this month and four next quarter. Bulk minimum orders create inventory overhead you don’t have shore-side storage capacity to absorb. A supplier who can fulfil single-unit SOLAS-compliant EEBD orders on a 15-day lead time, with consistent product specification and documentation, is a supply chain asset that directly reduces your compliance gap management burden across the fleet.
The HSE Manager at an Offshore Installation or Industrial Facility
Your facility’s EEBD inventory is maintained against a staged deployment plan across defined evacuation routes. Annual service inspections have flagged two units for cylinder replacement, and a third was deployed in a drill last quarter and not yet replaced. You need three units on a confirmed lead time — not a bulk order of twelve. The HWAYAN TH15B’s custom-made, single-unit procurement basis gives you the flexibility to match your replacement order exactly to your identified inventory deficit without tying up procurement budget in excess stock.
Possible Applications
- SOLAS Chapter III mandatory EEBD provision on passenger vessels — replacement and initial fitment of type-approved EEBDs at crew duty stations, machinery space access points, and muster staging positions on passenger ferries, ro-ro vessels, and cruise ships
- Engine room and machinery space evacuation on cargo vessels — staged at engine room entry ladders and within machinery spaces on bulk carriers, container vessels, and general cargo ships where fire and smoke present the primary EEBD deployment scenario
- Pump room and cargo area emergency escape on tanker vessels — emergency escape provision on oil, chemical, and LPG tankers where cargo vapour accumulation creates a rapidly developing inhalation hazard during cargo operations and tank cleaning
- Offshore platform escape route staging — deployed along primary and secondary escape routes on fixed and floating offshore installations where hydrocarbon gas release may precede or accompany emergency evacuation conditions
- Fleet-wide EEBD replacement programmes — single-unit procurement to fulfil vessel-specific replacement requirements across a managed fleet without triggering bulk stock commitments for irregular replacement volumes
- Pre-survey compliance restoration — emergency single-unit procurement to close identified EEBD compliance gaps ahead of PSC inspections, class renewals, or flag state audits with a confirmed 15-day delivery lead time
- Drydock and ship repair yard safety provision — EEBD provision for hot work teams, confined space entry personnel, and fire watch crews during drydocking periods where the vessel’s own EEBD inventory may be temporarily depleted or under service
- Industrial facility evacuation route staging — petrochemical, power generation, and heavy industrial environments where escape routes pass through areas with potential for toxic gas or oxygen-depleted atmospheres requiring independent air supply for safe traversal
Trust and Certifications
SOLAS 1974, As Amended — The International Standard for Commercial Vessel Safety
The HWAYAN EEBD TH15B is manufactured in accordance with SOLAS 1974 (Safety of Life at Sea), as amended — the IMO convention that governs mandatory safety equipment standards on commercial vessels worldwide. SOLAS Chapter III specifies EEBD fitment requirements, placement, quantity, and maintenance obligations. Port state control officers and classification society surveyors reference SOLAS Chapter III compliance during vessel inspections — a SOLAS-documented EEBD is the regulatory baseline requirement, not an optional enhancement. The TH15B model designation confirms this unit is manufactured to meet SOLAS Chapter III EEBD requirements as the basis of its supply specification.
IMO LSA Code — Life-Saving Appliance Performance Standard
The International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code, adopted under SOLAS, specifies the minimum performance requirements for EEBDs including duration (minimum 15 minutes), airflow delivery rate, donning time, and material standards. The HWAYAN TH15B is manufactured to meet LSA Code EEBD performance requirements — confirming that the 15-minute duration, compressed air delivery, and hood assembly meet the IMO performance standard referenced by flag states and classification societies in their EEBD compliance assessments.
210 Bar Cylinder — Internationally Recognised Working Pressure Standard
The 210 Bar compressed air cylinder working pressure is a standard specification across portable breathing apparatus cylinders and is subject to periodic hydrostatic pressure testing requirements under recognised pressure vessel standards. Compliance with cylinder pressure testing intervals (typically every 5 years, flag state dependent) is a mandatory element of EEBD service maintenance — and the 210 Bar working pressure standard is supported by testing and recharge services at marine equipment service providers at major ports globally.
Custom-Made Supply with Defined Delivery Commitment
The HWAYAN TH15B is supplied on a custom-made basis with a stated 15-day delivery period — a procurement commitment that provides a documented lead time for compliance gap remediation planning. For safety officers and procurement managers who need to demonstrate to a ship manager, flag state, or classification society that a specific compliance gap has a defined remediation date, a supplier with a confirmed single-unit delivery commitment provides a documentable procurement timeline that “awaiting stock” availability cannot.
Accessories and Variants
Replacement 210 Bar Compressed Air Cylinders
Replacement 210 Bar compressed air cylinders are available for EEBD periodic service and post-deployment recharge. SOLAS maintenance requirements mandate cylinder pressure inspection at defined intervals and cylinder replacement or recharge when pressure falls below the serviceable threshold. Using correctly rated replacement cylinders maintains the EEBD assembly at its type-approved specification and provides the documented cylinder service record required for SOLAS inspection compliance.
EEBD Wall-Mounting Brackets
Purpose-designed wall-mounting brackets for fixed installation of the EEBD at crew duty stations, engine room access points, and muster staging locations. SOLAS requires EEBDs to be fixed at clearly marked, accessible locations on applicable vessel types — purpose-designed mounting brackets ensure correct, accessible installation and support monthly visual inspection without removing the unit from its storage position.
Custom Configuration Options
HWAYAN supplies the TH15B on a custom-made basis, which means specific configuration modifications — alternative carry bag configurations, hood assembly variations, or cylinder pressure ratings for specific flag state requirements — can be discussed with the supplier for non-standard procurement requirements.
