23、N 136:1998 BSI 4 June 2004 3 Introduction A given respiratory protective device can only be approved when the individual components satisfy the requirements of the test specification which may be a complete standard or part of a standard, and successful practical performance tests have been carried

24、out on complete apparatus where specified in the appropriate standard. If for any reason a complete apparatus is not tested then simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics and weight distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This Euro

25、pean Standard specifies minimum requirements for full face masks for respiratory protective devices. Full face masks for diving apparatus are not included in the scope of this European Standard. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the require

26、ments. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or

27、 revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

A full face mask is a facepiece which covers the eyes, nose, mouth and chin and provides adequate sealing on the face o

31、f the wearer of a respiratory protective device against the ambient atmosphere, when the skin is dry or moist, and even when the head is moved or when the wearer is speaking. 4 Description Air enters the full face mask through the connector(s) and passes either directly to the nose and mouth area or

32、 via the eye (visor) area of the full face mask. The exhaled air flows back either through the connector into the breathing apparatus (closed-circuit breathing apparatus, pendulum breathing) or directly to the ambient atmosphere, via the exhalation valve(s), or by other appropriate means in other ty

33、pes of respiratory protective devices. An inner mask may be used to separate the nose and mouth from the eye (visor) area(s) of the full face mask. EN 136:1998 4 BSI 4 June 2004 5 Classification Three classes of full face masks are described, each providing the same level of respiratory protection b

34、ut having some differences which reflect intended areas of application. Class 1: Full face masks for light duty use. Class 2: Full face masks for general use. Class 3: Full face masks for special use. 6 Designation Designation of a full face mask meeting the requirements of this standard: Full face

35、mask EN 136 (Class) (Options). 7 Requirements 7.1 General In all tests, all test samples shall meet the requirements. 7.2 Nominal values and tolerances Unless otherwise specified, the values stated in this standard are expressed as nominal values. Except for temperature limits, values which are not

36、stated as maxima or minima shall be subject to a tolerance of 5 %. Unless otherwise specified, the ambient temperature for testing shall be (24 8) C, the temperature limits shall be subject to an accuracy of 1 C and the relative humidity shall be (50 30) %. 7.3 Visual inspection The visual inspectio

37、n shall include that of the marking and of any information to be supplied by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3. 7.4 Materials For class 2 and class 3 full face masks exposed parts i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus shall not be made o

38、f aluminium, magnesium, titanium or alloys containing such proportions of these metals as will, on impact, give rise to frictional sparks capable of igniting flammable gas mixtures. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3. 7.5 Resistance to temperature Before and after this test the full face m

39、ask shall meet the requirement of 7.16. Following the conditioning in accordance with 8.2 and after being allowed to return to ambient temperature the full face mask shall show no appreciable deformation and any incorporated threaded connector to EN 148-1, EN 148-2 or EN 148-3 shall be gauged and sh

40、all comply with the appropriate standard. In addition with class 3 full face masks, the threads specified in EN 148-1, EN 148-2 or EN 148-3 as appropriate shall also be accurate according to the gauge, at the end of the conditioning period in accordance with 8.2b). Testing shall be done in accordanc

41、e with 8.3, 8.4, 8.13 and 8.16. 7.6 Flammability 7.6.1 General Before and after these tests the full face mask shall meet the requirement of 7.16. EN 136:1998 BSI 4 June 2004 5 7.6.2 Class 1 full face masks Parts of the full face mask that might be exposed to a flame during use shall not burn or con

42、tinue to burn for more than 5 s after removal from the flame. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.5.1. 7.6.3 Class 2 and class 3 full face masks Parts of the full face mask that might be exposed to a flame during use shall not burn or continue to burn for more than 5 s after removal f

43、rom the flame. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.5.2. 7.7 Resistance to thermal radiation Class 3 full face masks shall be resistant to thermal radiation. This may be achieved in one of two ways, i.e.: The full face mask is considered to be resistant to thermal radiation in accordan

44、ce with this standard if it remains leaktight after a test period of 20 min although it may be deformed. Alternatively the full face mask can be considered to be resistant to thermal radiation if the visibility becomes impaired after a test period of U4 min and the facepiece is still leaktight after

45、 a further minute. Before and after the thermal radiation test the full face mask shall meet the requirement of 7.16. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.6. 7.8 Cleaning and disinfecting The materials used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures as recommended by t

46、he manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.7. 7.9 Finish of parts The finish of any part of the full face mask likely to be in contact with the wearer shall be free from sharp edges and burrs. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.18. 7.10 Replaceable components This re

47、quirement applies to class 3 full face masks only. Unless integral with the full face mask the following components (when fitted) shall be replaceable: Inner mask, head harness, lens/visor, connector(s), inhalation and exhalation valves, check valves, speech diaphragm, lens wiper. Testing shall be d

48、one in accordance with 8.3. 7.11 Head harness 7.11.1 The head harness shall be designed so that the full face mask can be donned and removed easily. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.18. 7.11.2 The head harness shall be adjustable or self-adjusting and shall hold the full face mask

49、firmly and comfortably in position. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.18. 7.11.3 Strength 7.11.3.1 For class 1 full face masks each strap of the harness shall withstand a pull of 100 N applied for 10 s in the direction of pulling when the full face mask is donned. Buckles and attachment lugs (if present) shall withstand the same pull. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.8.1. EN 136:1998 6 BSI 4 Jun
