26、001+A1:2009 (E) 5 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 practical performance tests have been carried out successfully on co

27、mplete 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. BS EN 405:2001+A1:2009EN 4

28、05:2001+A1:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements for valved filtering half masks incorporating either gas or combined filters as respiratory protective devices except for escape purposes. It does not cover gas filterin

29、g half masks which do not have valves or are fitted only with exhalation valves. It does not cover devices designed for use in circumstances where there is or might be an oxygen deficiency (oxygen less than a volume fraction of 17 %). Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the a

30、ssessment of compliance with the requirements. 2 Normative references !The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any

32、 Respiratory protective devices Methods of test Part 7: Determination of particle filter penetration EN 14387, Respiratory protective devices Gas filter(s) and combined filter(s) - Requirements, testing, marking“ 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard the terms and defini

33、tions in EN 132 and the nomenclature given in EN 134 apply !together with the following: 3.1 re-usable particle filtering component for valved combined filtering half mask particle filtering component which is intended to be used for more than a single shift“ 4 Description A valved filtering half ma

34、sk covers the nose and mouth and the chin and has both inhalation and exhalation valves and a) consists entirely or substantially of filter material or, b) comprises a facepiece in which the gas filter(s) form(s) an inseparable part of the device and where particle filters can be replaceable. It pro

35、vides adequate sealing for the intended use on the face of the wearer against the ambient atmosphere, when the skin is dry or moist and when the head is moved. BS EN 405:2001+A1:2009EN 405:2001+A1:2009 (E) 7 Inhaled air enters through the filter material and through an inhalation valve(s). Exhaled a

36、ir passes through an exhalation valve(s) to the ambient atmosphere. Since the devices are discarded on depletion of the gas filter, it is not expected that replaceable components will be provided, e.g. valves or head harness. In addition to providing protection against gases and vapours these device

37、s can be designed to also protect against solid and liquid aerosols. Gas filters remove specified gases and vapours. Combined filters remove dispersed solid and liquid particles and specified gases and vapours. 5 Classification 5.1 General Gas and combined valved filtering half masks are classified

38、into types and classes according to their application and protection capacity. 5.2 Types of gas filtering half masks 5.2.1 Valved gas filtering half masks Type FFA for use against certain organic gases and vapours with a boiling point higher than 65 C as specified by the manufacturer. Type FFB for u

39、se against certain inorganic gases and vapours as specified by the manufacturer (excluding carbon monoxide). Type FFE for use against sulfur dioxide and other acid gases and vapours as specified by the manufacturer. Type FFK for use against ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives as specified by the

40、 manufacturer. Type FFAX for use against certain low boiling organic compounds as specified by the manufacturer. Type FFSX for use against specific named gases and vapours. 5.2.2 Valved multi-type gas filtering half masks Gas valved filtering half masks which are a combination of two or more of the

41、above types and which meet the requirements of each type separately. 5.2.3 Valved combined filtering half masks Gas or multi-type valved gas filtering half masks incorporating a particle filter. !In addition, the particle filtering component of the half masks are classified as single shift use only

42、or re-usable (more than one shift).“ 5.3 Designs of combined valved filtering half masks There are two designs of valved combined filtering half masks described in this European Standard: one with integral particle filter(s), the second one with replaceable particle filter(s). Examples of classifica

43、tions are: !FFA1P1 NR D; FFA1P2 R D.“ D“ stands for optional clogging with dolomite. BS EN 405:2001+A1:2009EN 405:2001+A1:2009 (E) 8 5.4 Classes of valved gas filtering half masks Valved filtering half masks may incorporate gas filters of types listed in 5.2.1 or 5.2.2, belonging to one of the two f

44、ollowing classes relating to their capacity: Class 1 low capacity FFGas1 filtering half mask e.g. FFA1; Class 2 medium capacity FFGas2 filtering half mask e.g. FFB2. The protection provided by Class 2 devices includes that provided by the corresponding Class 1 device of the same type. FFAX and FFSX

45、devices are not classified in accordance with this clause. 6 Designation Valved filtering half masks meeting the requirements of this European Standard shall be designated in the following manner: !Valved filtering half mask EN 405, year of publication, type, classification, option (where “D“ is an

46、option for a non re-useable particle filtering component and mandatory for re-useable particle filtering component). EXAMPLE Valved filtering half mask EN 405:2001 FFA2P3 NR D“ 7 Requirements 7.1 General In all tests, all test samples shall meet the requirements. 7.1.1 Materials used shall be suitab

47、le to withstand handling and wear over the period for which the valved filtering half mask is designed to be used. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.4. After undergoing the treatment described in 8.3.2 and 8.3.3 none of the devices shall collapse or shall have suffered mechanical failure of

48、 the facepiece body or straps. 7.1.2 Any material of the filter media or any gaseous products that may be released by the airflow through the filter shall not be known to constitute a hazard or nuisance for the wearer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.2. 7.1.3 !If the valved filtering half mask is designed to be re-usable, the materials used shall withstand the cleaning and di
