Hyperbaric Chamber Safety: How Oxygens HBOT Systems Meet UK & International Safety Standards

Hyperbaric chamber safety is at the forefront of everything we do. At Oxygens, we’re committed to delivering safe, reliable, and medically robust hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) solutions to homes, clinics, and businesses across the UK and beyond. One of the cornerstones of that commitment is strict compliance with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and medical-grade material standards.

In this blog, we explain how our HBOT systems are engineered to meet the highest levels of safety, performance, and reliability—backed by international compliance.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Why It Matters

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers incorporate electrical components, control units, oxygen sensors, and safety interlocks—all of which must operate in environments where other electronic equipment is present. Without proper EMC compliance, a chamber could interfere with nearby devices or be affected by electrical disturbances itself.

At Oxygens, our HBOT systems are designed and tested to meet the following key EMC standards:

BS EN IEC 55014-1:2021

  • Ensures low emissions from all electrical components within our systems.
  • Your chamber will not disrupt nearby electronics—vital for home and clinical settings.

BS EN IEC 55014-2:2021

  • Guarantees immunity to common electrical interferences like static discharge or RF waves.
  • Ensures uninterrupted treatment even in electronically dense environments.

BS EN IEC 61000-3-2:2019/A1:2021

  • Controls harmonic current emissions from power supplies and motors.
  • Protects the power grid and ensures consistent performance.

BS EN 61000-3-3:2013/A1:2019/A2:2021

  • Limits voltage fluctuations and flicker, important for home use on standard 13A sockets.
  • Prevents interference with lighting and sensitive electronics.

What this means for you: Whether installed in a domestic lounge, physiotherapy clinic, or wellness spa, our HBOT chambers operate quietly, efficiently, and safely—without disrupting your electrical environment.

Medical-Grade Materials: Built for Human Health

An HBOT chamber is a life-supporting environment. That’s why we use only the highest quality, certified materials throughout.

Medical-Grade TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

  • Used for chamber linings and inflatable structures.
  • Non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and resistant to bacteria and mould.
  • Durable under repeated pressurisation and cleaning cycles.

Medical Oxygen Masks and Tubing

  • All delivery components meet ISO and EN medical standards for respiratory devices.
  • Materials are phthalate-free, biocompatible, and oxygen-safe.
  • Designed for comfort, low-resistance breathing, and minimal condensation buildup.

Seals, Valves, and Connectors

  • All fittings and valves are tested to ensure leak-free operation even under full pressure.
  • Resistant to corrosion from high oxygen concentrations.

Tested, Certified, Trusted

Our manufacturing and assembly processes are backed by over 20 years of UK engineering experience, and every product is rigorously tested before dispatch. We work closely with UKAS-accredited test houses and international compliance partners to ensure every chamber meets or exceeds relevant safety directives.

Our systems comply with:

  • EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)
  • Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)
  • UKCA and CE marking standards

Real-World Performance, Backed by Real Testimonials

We don’t just talk about compliance—we deliver on it. Our chambers are now operating safely in homes, physio clinics, sports centres, and recovery studios across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. Many of our customers note how quiet, reliable, and easy to use our systems are, even in busy domestic or clinical environments.

Final Thoughts

Choosing a hyperbaric chamber is about more than pressure and oxygen. It’s about trust. At Oxygens, we take that responsibility seriously, building each system with the safety and comfort of the end user in mind.
