The EN 14387 standard, which is a European standard, describes the characteristics and test methods of gas filters and combined filters, which are among respiratory protective devices. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) under the following title: TS EN 14387 Respiratory protective devices - Gas filters and combined filters - Requirements, experiments and marking.

A filtering device essentially consists of a full face mask or half mask connected to respiratory protective filters. This device is used to clean dust particles, vapors, smoke and gasses harmful to health in the air. The lifetime of such filters is particularly dependent on environmental conditions and the type of filter.
While gas filters and combined filters must comply with the EN 14387 standard, particle filters must comply with the EN 143 standard. These filters are marked with distinctive colors and markings based on the protection described in the relevant standards. It is described.
Gas filters protect against harmful gases and vapors, not against particles and aerosols. Particle filters, on the other hand, provide protection against dust, not harmful gases and vapors. Combined filters, as the name suggests, provide protection against all these pollutants at the same time.
In gas filter tests, the efficiency of the filter against airborne gases such as cyclohexane, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and hydrocyanic acid is determined and gas concentrations, flammability concentrations and duration of ignition are determined.
In short, the EN 14387 standard covers gas filters and combined filters used as components of unsupported respiratory protective equipment. The main goal of the respiratory protection program is to prevent exposure to air contaminated with harmful dusts, mists, fumes, mists, gases, vapors or sprays. This is important above all in terms of preventing occupational diseases.
Our organization also provides gas filter capacity (EN 14387) testing services to businesses within the framework of respiratory protection equipment testing services.
