TESTING ACCORDING TO EN 149:2001 + A1:2009

Total inward leakage

Ten test subjects perform a variety of exercises. During the exercises the amount 
of test aerosol that penetrates the fi lter, face seal and valve are sampled. The 
total inward leakage of 8 out of 10 test subjects shall not exceed the following 
levels:

The fi lter penetration after loading the fi lter with 120 mg paraffi n oil according 
to DIN EN 149:2001 + A1:2009 shall not exceed the following levels:

Flammability

4 respirators are passed through a 800°C (+/- 50°C) fl ame with a speed of 6 cm/s. 
After passing through the fl ame the respirator has to self-extinguish.

Breathing Resistance

The breathing resistance produced by the fi lter of the respirator is tested at an airfl ow of 
30 l/min and 95 l/min.

INS TRUCTIONS FOR USE

·  The user has to be trained and instructed in wearing the mask.
·  FFP masks do not protect against gases and vapours.
·  The oxygen concentration of the ambient atmosphere should be at 19,5 % Volume.
·  These respirators may not be used if the concentration type, and properties of 

contaminants in the ambient atmosphere are unknown or at dangerous levels.

·  Respirators should be disposed if damaged, if the breathing resistance 

 be comes high due to clogging.

·  Never tamper with, alter or modify the respirator.

and comfortable. To fasten 
respirator pull strap at either 
side of the buckle.
