Respiratory Protective Devices - Gas Filter(s) and Combined Filter(s) - Requirements, Testing, Marking
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14387 standard specifies the requirements, testing procedures, and marking criteria for gas filters and combined filters used in respiratory protective devices. It excludes filters specifically designed for protection against carbon monoxide. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the reliable performance and effectiveness of these filters when used in unassisted respiratory protective devices.
The document includes laboratory tests to assess compliance with the specified requirements. It covers a wide range of criteria, including filtration efficiency, gas absorption capacity, breathing resistance, and resistance to moisture and heat. The filters that meet the standards outlined in this document may also be suitable for use with assisted respiratory protective devices or escape devices. If so, they must be tested and marked according to the appropriate European Standard.
