Applicable standards, field of application, cautions and warnings
The goal of the C700 series mask is the breathing protection of a subject who is in an environment with not
breathable air.
The specific function of the mask is to isolate the user’s breathing apparatus from the not
breathable air coming from the external environment.
C700 masks are
PPE
belonging to the III category according to the European Regulation (UE) 425/2016, and they
conform to the requirements specified in the with EN 136:98 Norm, in class 3, for special use. The model C 701
and c 702 are equipped rispectively with standard threaded according to the Norms EN 148-1 and two threaded
connectors (complete with gasket and inhalation valve) for use with two SEKUR filters of the 200 series.. Masks
are not suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. For need of use in these conditions can contact
D.P.I. s.r.l.
Testing according to the relevant Norms, certification and authorisation to CE marking have been performed by
the Notified body Italcert - Viale Sarca, 336 - 20126 Milano.
The marking CE on the visor frame of the masks
“
CE 0426
“
indicates the respect of the Essential Health and Safety
Requirements defined in 425/2016 Regulation following the Annex VIII and identifies the Notified body carrying
out the production - Italcert - Viale Sarca, 336 - 20126 Milano - Italia (Organismo Notificato n.
0426
).
C 700 masks visors conform to the STANAG2920 (ed. 3):2015 Measurament of V50 (Ballistic test, FSP= caliber 22
type 1) and to the EN 166:2001 Personal eye-protection -
§7.1.2.1 “Spherical, astigmatic and prismatic refractive
powers”
achieving optical class I.
The instructions for use of filters and respiratory equipment, as well as the safety standards and regulations
issued by the competent authority, must be strictly followed. Respiratory protective devices must be used by
personnel in good health and trained in the use of this kind of equipment. Users must be beardless and without
sideboards or moustaches as these interfere with the facepiece seal, thus impeding adequate seal tightness on
the face. The users of C700 masks must ensure that the oxygen quantity higher than 18%, range of temperature
between 0°C and 50°C and the highest concentrations of contaminants in the atmosphere are not exceeded. The
permissible exposure limits are indicated in the manual containing the instructions for use of filters and self-
contained breathing apparatuses used with the mask. In case of contact with lubricants and oil by-products,
solvents, oxidizing agents, acetates, hydrogen peroxide, acids and strong bases, wash and clean the mask
afterwards as soon as possible in accordance with paragraph 7.2.
The EN 136 defines maximum limits of penetration for a full face mask that, if the donning is correct and it is
used respecting all the warning and limitations described in this manual, satisfying the “total inward leakage”
requirement, assures a maximum penetration value of 0,05% whom has to be added the penetration through
the filtering device.
Following the Nominal Protection Factor (NPF), defined as 100 divided by the total inward leakage maximum
percentage allowed, the mask assures an NFP equal to 2000.
