Particulate Respirators
Comfortably breathing clean, safe air is important for workers' health
and workplace morale. With this in mind we have designed a range
of 3M™ Disposable Respirators using science to increase comfort,
breathability and protection.

In combination with ergonomic design, a wide range of technologies
including the 3M™ CoolFlow™ Valve help to deliver comfortable
protection with easier breathing and reduced heat build-up.

* Warning: This guide is only an outline. It should not be used as the only means for selecting a respirator. Details regarding performance and limitations are set out on the respirator package
           and user instructions. Before using any of these respirators, the wearer must read and understand the user instructions for each product. Specific country legislation must be
           observed. Please note that the applications shown highlight some of the hazards which may be considered. Selection of the most appropriate respiratory protective equipment
           (RPE) will depend on the particular situation and should be made only by a competent person knowledgable of the actual working conditions and the limitations of RPE.

  EN 149:2001+A1:2009 Standard
  3M™ Disposable Respirators meet the requirements of European Standard EN 149:2001 + A1:2009, filtering facepiece
  respirators for use against solid and non-volatile liquid particles only. Products are classified by filtering efficiency and
  maximum total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3), also by usability and clogging resistance.

  Performance tests in this standard include:
  • filter penetration and extended exposure (loading) test - evaluates the filtration performance when new and over time
  • breathing resistance - evaluates the ease of breathing (inhalation and exhalation) through the respirator
  • total inward leakage - evaluates the filter penetration, valve leakage (if fitted) and importantly the face seal leakage of
    the respirator when worn by a panel of different people whilst conducting simulated work exercises
  • clogging resistance - evaluates the ability of the respirator to continue to function effectively and provide respiratory
    protection in very high dust environments

  Reusable products are also subjected to a cleaning cycle (specified by the manufacturer) and 24 hour storage to confirm
  the product performance is not affected by re-use. Clogging resistance testing is a mandatory requirement for reusable
  products, but is optional for single shift use only (non reusable) products. A full copy of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can be
  purchased from your national standards body.

  Marking designations:
  R = Reusable
  NR = Non reusable (single shift use only)
  D = Meets the clogging resistance requirements

The importance of comfort

To make sure that the respirator protects you, it must be worn during all periods of exposure. Make sure that you choose a
respirator that you can wear comfortably for your entire shift.

The importance of fit

Disposable respirators are most effective when there is a good seal between the edges of the respirator and your face. The instant
this seal is broken, protection is compromised as contaminated air can leak in through any gaps.

Here’s what to look for:
• Upper strap should be positioned
  on the crown of the head. Strap
  should not be twisted

• Noseclip should be moulded
