You must remove the EEBD from service if there has been any

Tampering is the situation that most directly signals a safety risk to the EEBD’s reliability. An EEBD must work correctly in an emergency, so any unauthorized interference—opening, altering, or resealing components—casts doubt on whether the device will deliver breathable air when needed. Once tampering is suspected or detected, the unit is removed from service immediately to be inspected, tested, and likely replaced or re-certified before it can be used again. Other issues like physical damage, theft, or expiration also require action, but tampering specifically undermines the integrity and trustworthiness of the device’s safety features, making it the trigger for immediate removal from service in this context.
