2. Respirator fit test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator_fit_test

   The main advantage of qualitative fit test methods is the low cost of equipment, while their main drawback is their modest precision, and that they cannot be used to test tight-fitting respirators that are intended for use in atmospheres that exceed 10 PEL (due to the low sensitivity). To reduce the risk of choosing a respirator with poor fit ...

3. NIOSH air filtration rating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIOSH_air_filtration_rating

   NIOSH air filtration ratings do not test the fit of a respirator. Fit testing is required by OSHA for employers when a hazard is present, and voluntary respirator use under Appendix D is not allowed due to the hazard. [30] Rules for fit testing are also defined by ANSI Z88.2. Z88.2 notes that, in Canada, respirator care and fit testing are ...

4. European respirator standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_respirator_standards

   The European respirator standards refer to the filtering classification by EN 149, EN 14683, and EN 143, all European standards of testing and marking requirements for respirators. [1] FFP standard masks (where FFP stands for filtering facepiece) [ 2 ] cover the nose, mouth and chin and may have inhalation and/or exhalation valves.

5. Respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator

   If respirators must be used, under 29 CFR 1910.134, OSHA requires respirator users to conduct a respirator fit test, with a safety factor of 10 to offset lower fit during real world use. [97] However, NIOSH notes the large amount of time required for fit testing has been a point of contention for employers.

6. Workplace respirator testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workplace_respirator_testing

   Example of measurement of efficiency of the respirator (in the workplace). Description: (1) personal sampling pump, (2) the cassette and the filter for determining the concentration (in the breathing zone), (3) the sampling line (from the breathing zone), (4) the cassette and the filter to determine the concentration (under a mask), and (5) the sampling line (from the mask).

7. Respirator assigned protection factors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator_Assigned...

   The respiratory protective devices (RPD) can protect workers only if their protective properties are adequate to the conditions in the workplace.Therefore, specialists have developed criteria for the selection of proper, adequate respirators, including the Assigned Protection Factors (APF) - the decrease of the concentration of harmful substances in the inhaled air, which (is expected) to be ...

9. Powered air-purifying respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying...

   The following table lists the air flow requirements for NIOSH-approved PAPRs under Part 84.175. Tight-fitting PAPRs may be fit tested with the facepiece unpowered and in negative-pressure (under 29 CFR 1910.134) while loose-fitting PAPR fit test protocols have not been changed from 30 CFR 11.
