Respiratory protective devices - Light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a full face mask, half mask or quarter mask - Requirements, testing, marking

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a full face mask, half mask or quarter mask which is intended for use in gaseous, particulate or combined contaminated atmospheres. Such equipment is intended for use in work situations where the risk of damage to the compressed air supply tube is low and where movements of the wearer are limited. Escape and diving apparatus and that used in abrasive blasting conditions are not covered by this European Standard. Laboratory tests and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements.
