AS/NZS 1716: 2003 Respiratory Protective Devices

EN 149: 2001 +A1:2009 Respiratory Protective Devices - Filtering half masks to protect against particles European Standard for filtering halfmasks. It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to cleansers and disinfectants, to temperature, to flame and with respiratory resistance. With A1:2009 amendment, filtering dust masks are now classified as either single use /single shift (NR) or reusable/more than 1 shift (R). TLV: Contaminant concentration to which the user may be exposed without health effects. TIL: Total INWARD LEAKAGE - Leakage of the ambient atmosphere into the respiratory interface. NPF: Nominal Protection Factor - Nominal level of protection given by respiratory PPE (in Laboratory conditions). APV: Assigned Protection Value - Level of protection which can realistically be expected in the workplace conditions.

P1 or P2 Protection?

The purpose of standard AS/NZS 1716 is to provide minimum performance and testing criteria to be observed in the manufacture of respiratory protective devices, setting out the parameters and requirements for the different types of respirators. AS/NZS 1715:2003 Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment The purpose of Standard AS/NZS 1715 is to provide users with information on selection, use and maintenance of suitable respiratory protective equipment for their needs, protecting the body against various substances which could enter the body through the respiratory system.

P1 : According to AS/NZS 1716:2003 Choose a P1 mask for filtering mechanically generated particles e.g. particles formed by crushing, grinding, drilling, sanding and cutting. P2 : According to AS/NZS 1716:2003 Choose P2 for filtering mechanically and thermally generated particles e.g. welding fumes. P2 respirators are also recommended for use against some bioaerosol.
