NATO Supply Class 4220 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 42, which encompasses Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 4220 focuses on Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment. This class includes a wide range of equipment and devices designed to ensure the safety and survival of individuals involved in marine activities, such as diving, boating, and maritime operations.

Some examples of equipment that fall under this classification include:

1. Life jackets and personal flotation devices (PFDs): These are designed to keep individuals afloat in water and provide buoyancy.

2. Immersion suits: These suits are designed to protect individuals from hypothermia and provide insulation in cold water.

3. Diving suits and equipment: This includes diving masks, fins, snorkels, and other equipment necessary for underwater activities.

4. Life rafts and lifeboats: These are inflatable or rigid vessels designed to provide emergency evacuation and survival in case of a marine accident or disaster.

5. Rescue and recovery equipment: This includes devices such as rescue buoys, throw bags, and rescue lines used to assist individuals in distress in the water.

6. Underwater communication systems: These systems enable divers to communicate with each other and with the surface support team during underwater operations.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 4220 is specifically focused on marine lifesaving and diving equipment, and it falls under the broader category of Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials in NATO Supply Group 42.
