The use of products from two different manufacturers is not permitted (see vfdb TB08-01); therefore, the goal is to implement a district-wide standard of components, particularly for inter-municipal deployments of the breathing apparatus support vehicle.

Six municipalities in the Odenwald district are already equipped with standardized breathing apparatus technology as defined in this tender. This significantly simplifies cooperation. For example, the Reichelsheim municipal fire department's breathing apparatus support vehicle is called out to inter-municipal operations within the district an average of 5-10 times per year. This inter-municipal work can be significantly simplified and thus improved in the future with standardized breathing apparatus technology.
