EN 12083 Standard Test for Respiratory Protective Devices, Filters with Breathing Tube, (Non-Mask Filters), Gas Filters and Combined Filters

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 12083 standard. This European standard applies to filters with breathing tube (non-mask-attached filters) for use as components in user-worn unassisted respiratory protective devices, with the exception of escape apparatus and filter facepieces.

Laboratory tests and practical performance tests are included to assess compliance with requirements.

If the total density of particles in the air is low, the particle filter, air-purifying respirators provide long-term protection without the need to replace the filter. However, if there are very high concentrations of air pollutants, a respiratory device that provides a positive pressure atmosphere provides longer protection.

When using air-purifying respirators, filter puncture times, replacement periods, and lifetime indicators for toxic substances in the air are essential factors to consider.

Respirators used with respirators should not limit the ability of employees to see, hear, communicate and act to do the job safely. Such a negative situation may present other potential hazards.

Another factor to consider when using a respirator is the air supply rate. The working speed of the worker determines the volume of air breathed per minute.

The volume of air supplied to meet respiratory requirements is very important when using atmosphere supply respirators. To keep respiratory protection under positive pressure, the air supply rate should generally be higher than the maximum amount of air inhaled.
