25、ical performance tests have been carried out successfully on complete device where specified in the appropriate standard. If for any reason a complete device is not tested then simulation of the device is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics and mass distribution are similar to those o
26、f the complete device. EN 404:2005 (E) 6 1 Scope This document refers to filtering devices designed for protection against carbon monoxide (filter self-rescuer). It specifies minimum requirements for filter self-rescuers. This document does not apply to apparatus for work and rescue or to diving app
27、aratus. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment 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

29、 of test Part 2: Practical performance test 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 132:1998 and the nomenclature given in EN 134:1998 apply. 4 Description A filter self-rescuer is a respiratory protective filtering device in a suitable packin
30、g for use in personal escape, and designed to protect the wearer against carbon monoxide. It is dependent on ambient atmosphere and does not provide protection against oxygen deficient atmospheres. The filtering device consists of a mouthpiece assembly with a filter. The mouthpiece assembly of the f
31、iltering device is connected directly or indirectly to the filter(s). 5 Classification Filter self-rescuers are classified according to the minimum test duration which is defined by performing a breathing machine test in accordance with 7.6.1. Table 1 Classes of filter self-rescuers Class Minimum du
32、ration min FSR 1 A FSR 1 B 60 FSR 2 A FSR 2 B 75 FSR 3 A FSR 3 B 90 FSR 4 A FSR 4 B 120 In the class, the numbers 1 - 4 indicate the minimum duration time as seen in the Table 1. The letters A and B indicate the flow rates 30 l/min and 40 l/min. Devices passing “rough usage” requirements shall be ma
33、rked “R”. EN 404:2005 (E) 7 NOTE The effective duration time may vary according to the work rate. 6 Requirements 6.1 General In all tests, all test samples shall meet the requirements. Wherever a test clause is referenced, all sub-clauses of the test clause shall apply, unless otherwise stated. NOTE
34、 The requirements and test methods are based on experience with existing design of filter self-rescuers incorporating Hopcalite and drier. Consideration should be given to the behaviour of designs incorporating other filtering materials. 6.2 Ergonomics The requirements of this document are intended
35、to take account of the interaction between the wearer, the respiratory protective device, and where possible the working environment in which the respiratory protective device is likely to be used. The device shall satisfy 6.3 and 6.19. 6.3 Design The design of the device shall be such as to allow i
36、ts inspection in accordance with the information supplied by the manufacturer. The device shall be sufficiently robust to withstand the rough usage it is likely to receive in use with respect to its classification. The device shall be designed so that there are no protruding parts, sharp edges or bu
37、rrs likely to be caught on projections in narrow passages or that may harm the wearer. No part of the device likely to be in contact with the wearer shall have sharp edges or burrs. The filter self-rescuer shall be designed such that the outside of carrying container can be cleaned easily. If the fi
38、ltering device is fitted with a coarse dust filter bag this filter bag shall be easily detachable. The device shall be designed to ensure its full function in any orientation. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.5. 6.4 Materials The carrying container and the locking device shall be a
39、dequately protected against corrosion. The materials used shall be able to withstand temperatures and mechanical stress expected when carried on the person or stored on machines and vehicles. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.4.3 and 7.5.2. Exposed parts, i.e. those which may be subjected t
40、o impact during use of the device, shall not be made of aluminium, magnesium, titanium or their alloys. Materials that may come into contact with the wearers skin and the inhaled air shall not be known to be likely to cause irritation or any other adverse effect to health. Testing shall be done in a
41、ccordance with 7.3 and 7.5. EN 404:2005 (E) 8 To prevent electrostatic charges on non-metallic carrying containers the insulation resistance shall not exceed 109ohm. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.6.6. 6.5 Cleaning and disinfecting All material shall be visibly unimpaired after cleaning
42、and disinfection by the agents and procedures specified by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.6 Mass That part of the mass of the filtering device supported by the head, ready for use, shall not exceed 750 g. The mass of the complete device including carrying case shal
43、l not exceed 2 000 g. The determination of the mass shall be carried out where appropriate. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.1. 6.7 Connections All connections of the filtering device shall be gas tight. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.6.1 and 7.6.2. All the connections of the f
44、iltering device shall be sufficiently robust and withstand a force of 50 N applied for 10 s. Connections of unprotected breathing hoses shall withstand a force of 250 N applied for 10 s. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3, 7.5.1 and 7.6.10.2. 6.8 Means of carrying The carrying container sh
45、all be provided with means of carrying, which ensures comfortable, safe and - if required - continuous carrying on the person. This may also be achieved by additional measures, e.g. a carrying bag. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.5.2. When the device is designed to be carried on the perso
46、n the tear-off force of the carrying means shall be not less than 400 N and shall not exceed 800 N. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.6.10.3. 6.9 Harness The filter self-rescuer shall have a harness which ensures comfortable and safe wearing of the device when donned. The harness shall be a
47、djustable or elastic or a suitable combination of both. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.5.1. Each strap of the harness shall withstand a pull of 50 N for 10 s in the direction in which the harness is pulled when the device is donned. EN 404:2005 (E) 9 Testing shall be done in accordance w
48、ith 7.6.10.2. 6.10 Handling The filter self-rescuer shall be capable of being donned in accordance with the information supplied by the manufacturer in a quick and simple manner within maximum of 20 s without undue exertion. The locking device shall be protected against being opened inadvertently. I
49、t shall be apparent whether or not the device has been opened and therefore requires inspection. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.5.1. Any part of the filter self-rescuer used to pull the filtering device from its carrying or storage container shall withstand a force of 400 N applied for 10 s in the direction in which the part is subjected to such force during normal withdrawal of the filtering device.
