25、s have been carried out on complete apparatus where specified in the appropriate standard. If for any reason a complete apparatus is not tested then simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics and weight distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatu
26、s. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for full face masks for respiratory protective devices. Full face masks for diving apparatus are not included in the scope of this European Standard. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of complia
27、nce with the requirements. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequ
28、ent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

A full face mask is a facepiece which covers the eyes, nose, mouth and chin and provides adequate se
32、aling on the face of the wearer of a respiratory protective device against the ambient atmosphere, when the skin is dry or moist, and even when the head is moved or when the wearer is speaking. 4 Description Air enters the full face mask through the connector(s) and passes either directly to the nos
33、e and mouth area or via the eye (visor) area of the full face mask. The exhaled air flows back either through the connector into the breathing apparatus (closed-circuit breathing apparatus, pendulum breathing) or directly to the ambient atmosphere, via the exhalation valve(s), or by other appropriat
34、e means in other types of respiratory protective devices. An inner mask may be used to separate the nose and mouth from the eye (visor) area(s) of the full face mask.

35、004 5 Classification Three classes of full face masks are described, each providing the same level of respiratory protection but having some differences which reflect intended areas of application. Class 1: Full face masks for light duty use. Class 2: Full face masks for general use. Class 3: Full f
36、ace masks for special use. 6 Designation Designation of a full face mask meeting the requirements of this standard: Full face mask EN 136 (Class) (Options). 7 Requirements 7.1 General In all tests, all test samples shall meet the requirements. 7.2 Nominal values and tolerances Unless otherwise speci
37、fied, the values stated in this standard are expressed as nominal values. Except for temperature limits, values which are not stated as maxima or minima shall be subject to a tolerance of 5 %. Unless otherwise specified, the ambient temperature for testing shall be (24 8) C, the temperature limits s
38、hall be subject to an accuracy of 1 C and the relative humidity shall be (50 30) %. 7.3 Visual inspection The visual inspection shall include that of the marking and of any information to be supplied by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3. 7.4 Materials For class 2 and cla
39、ss 3 full face masks exposed parts i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus shall not be made of aluminium, magnesium, titanium or alloys containing such proportions of these metals as will, on impact, give rise to frictional sparks capable of igniting flammable gas mi
40、xtures. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3. 7.5 Resistance to temperature Before and after this test the full face mask shall meet the requirement of 7.16. Following the conditioning in accordance with 8.2 and after being allowed to return to ambient temperature the full face mask shall sh
41、ow no appreciable deformation and any incorporated threaded connector to EN 148-1, EN 148-2 or EN 148-3 shall be gauged and shall comply with the appropriate standard. In addition with class 3 full face masks, the threads specified in EN 148-1, EN 148-2 or EN 148-3 as appropriate shall also be accur
42、ate according to the gauge, at the end of the conditioning period in accordance with 8.2b). Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3, 8.4, 8.13 and 8.16. 7.6 Flammability 7.6.1 General Before and after these tests the full face mask shall meet the requirement of 7.16.

Testi
44、ng shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.5.1. 7.6.3 Class 2 and class 3 full face masks Parts of the full face mask that might be exposed to a flame during use shall not burn or continue to burn for more than 5 s after removal from the flame. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.5
45、.2. 7.7 Resistance to thermal radiation Class 3 full face masks shall be resistant to thermal radiation. This may be achieved in one of two ways, i.e.: The full face mask is considered to be resistant to thermal radiation in accordance with this standard if it remains leaktight after a test period o
46、f 20 min although it may be deformed. Alternatively the full face mask can be considered to be resistant to thermal radiation if the visibility becomes impaired after a test period of U4 min and the facepiece is still leaktight after a further minute. Before and after the thermal radiation test the
47、full face mask shall meet the requirement of 7.16. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.6. 7.8 Cleaning and disinfecting The materials used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures as recommended by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.7. 7.9
48、Finish of parts The finish of any part of the full face mask likely to be in contact with the wearer shall be free from sharp edges and burrs. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3 and 8.18. 7.10 Replaceable components This requirement applies to class 3 full face masks only. Unless integral
49、with the full face mask the following components (when fitted) shall be replaceable: Inner mask, head harness, lens/visor, connector(s), inhalation and exhalation valves, check valves, speech diaphragm, lens wiper. Testing shall be done in accordance with 8.3. 7.11 Head harness 7.11.1 The head harness shall be designed so that the full face mask can be donned and removed easily. Testing shall be done in accord
