What is CAT B EBS (Emergency Breathing System)?

Breathing lung CAT B (Category B) is a closed-circuit breathing system for the Norwegian continental shelf. It is important that practical training is carried out using the same type of emergency breathing equipment as is used with the survival suit.

Many people who have completed safety courses outside Norway have been trained using emergency breathing equipment EBS CAT A, which consists of compressed air in a cylinder. Foreign personnel traveling after 01.04.2026 must have a valid HUET certification with EBS CAT-B. Without this, travel to the Norwegian continental shelf will not be possible. Training centers abroad (OPITO) do not describe the category as EBS CAT-B, but as EBS Rebreather.
