22、00-1:2014(E)IntroductionThis part of ISO 16900 is intended as a supplement to the respiratory protective devices (RPD) performance standard ISO 17420 (all parts). Test methods are specified for complete devices or parts of devices that are intended to comply with ISO 17420. If deviations from the te
23、st method given in this part of ISO 16900 are necessary, these deviations will be specified in ISO 17420.vi ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 16900-1:2014INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16900-1:2014(E)Respiratory protective devices Methods of test and test equipment Part 1: Determination of inward leaka

31、ons of the test. This includes the following:a) minimum number of test specimens;b) number of test subjects and selection criteria;c) operating conditions of the RPD;d) if appropriate, test method (including test agent and sampling methods) to be used;e) the exercise regime to be used;f) if appropri

33、ed subjectively (if appropriate).5 General test requirementsUnless otherwise specified, the values stated in this part of ISO 16900 are expressed as nominal values. Except for temperature limits, values which are not stated as maxima or minima shall be subject to a tolerance of 5 %. Unless otherwise
34、 specified, the ambient conditions for testing shall be between 16 C and 32 C and (50 30) % RH. Any temperature limits specified shall be subject to an accuracy of 1 C.6 PrincipleA test subject wearing the RPD being tested performs a series of exercises while surrounded by an atmosphere containing a
35、 known concentration of a test substance. During these exercises, the concentration of the test substance inside and outside the respiratory interface (RI) is measured and compared.Three test agents are specified: one solid aerosol, one liquid aerosol, and a gas. The general principle of the test is
36、 the same for all substances. The test agent(s) used depend on the type of RPD being tested and are chosen according to Figure 1.NOTE Where a choice of gas or aerosol is permitted according to Figure 1, the aerosol test methods are preferred since SF6is regarded to be a greenhouse gas and its use is
37、 deemed undesirable where it could be avoided.2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 16900-1:2014ISO 16900-1:2014(E)NOTE Excluded are RPD which are obviously open to the atmosphere and which need not be tested using a challenge gas.Figure 1 Determination of porosity of RI (Respiratory Interface) ISO 2

39、mple the medical history, any know allergies, examination, or supervision of the test subjects.4 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 16900-1:2014ISO 16900-1:2014(E)7.1.2 Test subjects shall be trained by a competent person in wearing the type of RPD being tested.7.1.2.1 Unless the RPD manufacturers u
40、ser instructions specify that the device can be worn by persons with facial hair, then male panel members shall be clean shaven in the area of the face seal.7.1.2.2 Persons with scars or other facial blemishes in the area of the face seal that might give rise to face seal leakage shall not be select
41、ed for the test panel.7.1.2.3 Persons nominated as test subjects shall follow the manufacturers donning instructions, which can include a wearer seal check. If the person cannot achieve an adequate seal, following the manufacturers instructions, the person shall not be used for the inward leakage te
42、st.7.1.2.4 Where a manufacturer specifies a size range for wearers of the device, only subjects who fall within the specified range shall be used for the test.7.1.2.5 If more than one size of respiratory interface is manufactured, the test subjects shall select the most appropriate size in accordanc
43、e with the information supplied by the manufacturer.When using particle counting detection method, the test subject should refrain from smoking for at least 30 min before wearing the RPD.7.2 Selection of test subjectsThe human test panel shall be as defined in ISO/TS 16976-2:2010, 8.3, principal com
44、ponent analysis (PCA) panel. Further information is given in Annex D. The selection of the test subject shall be as specified by the RPD manufacturer according to the requirements of ISO 17420.8 Test agentsThree test agents are specified for the inward leakage tests:a) test agent 1 = sulfur hexafluo
45、ride gas (SF6);b) test agent 2 = sodium chloride aerosol (NaCl);c) test agent 3 = corn oil aerosol.All three test agents are equally acceptable for determination of inward leakage or total inward leakage, subject to the selection requirements of Figure 2.If porosity is indicated by the results from
46、the materials porosity test (Annex C), then it shall be tested using sulfur hexafluoride gas.9 Apparatus9.1 Enclosure, large enough to permit each test subject to complete the test exercise regime without restriction. A uniform and continuous flow of the relevant test atmosphere shall be delivered i
47、nto the test enclosure.The enclosure design and air flow management system shall permit the test atmosphere concentration within the area occupied by the RPD and wearer during all exercises to be homogeneous and stable (within 10 %) throughout the duration of any test.The air velocity through the en
48、closure measured close (within 30 cm) to the test subjects head, with the test subject standing centrally (on the treadmill where appropriate) and without crosswind conditions, shall be sufficient to maintain the specified concentration but shall not exceed 0,2 m/s. ISO 2014 All rights reserved 5BS
49、ISO 16900-1:2014ISO 16900-1:2014(E)The enclosure shall be designed so that the test subject is visible from the outside of the enclosure at all times while in the enclosure. A means of providing communication between the test subject(s) and the test supervisor(s) shall be provided.For RPD to be tested under crosswind conditions, provision shall be made to generate a crosswind of 2 m/s across the enclosure, from the front, rear or side (left or right), in the vicinity of the test sub
