This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2006, and conflicting natio
30、nal standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2006. This European Standard supersedes CR 529:1993. Users of this European Standard, prepared in the field of application of Article 118A of the EC Treaty, should be aware that European Standards have no formal legal relationship with Directiv
31、es which may have been made under Article 118A of the Treaty. In addition, national legislation in the Member States may contain more stringent requirements than the minimum requirements of a Directive based on Article 118A. Information on the relationship between the national legislation implementi
32、ng Directives based on Article 118A and this European Standard may be given in a national foreword of the national standard implementing this European Standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement t

34、9:2005 (E) 6 Introduction Hazardous substances such as dusts, fibres, fumes, vapours, gases, micro-organisms and radioactive particulates and gases encountered at work can cause significant damage to health or, in extreme cases, can lead to death. This frequently occurs by the inhalation of harmful
35、levels of hazardous substances that are present in the workplace air. Besides the inhalation exposure dermal exposure to hazardous substances can also lead to local skin damage, and sensitisation, as well as systemic effects. Similarly exposure to an oxygen deficient atmosphere can lead to death. Ex
36、posure (via all routes - inhalation, dermal and ingestion) to hazardous substances at work should be eliminated or alternative substances which are less hazardous used. Where elimination is not practicable adequate protective measures should be put in place so that exposures are reduced to a minimum
37、. The use of suitable protective measures at source should be the first choice for minimising the exposure. Such measures protect everyone in the workplace, whereas a respiratory protective device only protects the person who wears it. If adequate protective measures at source or any other administr
38、ative measures are not reasonably practicable or found to be inadequate for controlling inhalation exposure then an adequate and suitable respiratory protective device should be used. Respiratory protective devices are designed to be worn in hazardous environments and should provide wearers with an
39、adequate supply of breathable air or gas. Respiratory protective devices are considered to be at the bottom of the hierarchy of protective measures and should only be used after an acceptable case for their use has been established by way of an appropriate risk assessment. Fatalities and serious acc
40、idents can occur if there is a failure to select and use a respiratory protective device suited to the substances, the wearer, the task and the environment in which the device is used. The failure to maintain the device in good working condition can also lead to similar consequences. These problems
41、should be avoided by implementing a suitably designed respiratory protective device programme. EN 529:2005 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on the best practice for establishing and implementing a suitable respiratory protective device programme. It is published to provide a Eu
42、rope-wide baseline for the selection, use, care and maintenance of respiratory protective devices. It provides guidelines for preparing national guidance in this area. The guidance contained in this European Standard is not intended to be exhaustive, but highlights important aspects to which attenti
43、on should be given. The recommendations in this European Standard will help to comply with national legislation on this subject where it exists, or with European legislation. Respiratory protective devices used exclusively in diving and at increased or reduced atmospheric pressures are not covered b
44、y this guidance. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
