It does not cover devices designed for use in situations where there is or may be oxygen deficiency (oxygen less than 17% by volume). It does not cover respiratory protective devices designed for escape. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included to assess compliance with requirements.

A given respiratory protection device can only be approved when the individual components meet the requirements of the test specification, which may be a complete standard or part of a standard, and practical performance tests have been performed on the complete device where specified in the appropriate standard.

If for some reason a complete apparatus is not tested, simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided that the breathing characteristics and weight distribution are similar to those of the entire apparatus.

Where the facepiece is fitted with a standard thread connection as defined in EN 148: part 1 and can therefore be used with other equipment, eg filters, it must comply with the requirements of EN 136 or EN 140 as appropriate.

Where the facepiece is designed for use with a power assisted device only, it must not be equipped with a standard thread connection and must meet the requirements for full face masks and for half masks and quarter masks.
