3. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: EN149:2001+A1:2009 single-use respirators against solid and
liquid aerosols are classified according to one of three categories - FFP1,
FFP2 and FFP3.
Before reading the following information, please check the category to
which the respirator belongs - this is indicated on the packaging and on
the respirator.
3.1 APPLICATIONS
• FFP1: Protection against non-toxic solid and liquid
aerosols (e.g. oil-mists) in concentrations up to
4 x MAC/OEL/TLV, [i.e. NPF = 4 ] or 4 x WEL,
[i.e. APF = 4].
• FFP2: Protection against non-toxic and low-to-average
toxicity solid and liquid aerosols (e.g. oil-mists) in
concentrations up to 12 x MAC/OEL/TLV,
[i.e. NPF = 12] or 10 x WEL, [i.e. APF = 10].
• FFP3: Protection against non-toxic, low-to-average
toxicity and high toxicity solid and liquid aerosols
(e.g. oil-mists) in concentrations up to 50 x
MAC/OEL/TLV,
[i.e. NPF = 50] or 20 x WEL, [i.e. APF = 20].
• CHARCOAL FILTERS: 82484/82485 and 82561/82562 include charcoal
filters that offer added comfort by eliminating
fumes when welding or decorating respectively.

1. Hold the respirator in hand with the
nosepiece at your fingertips.
Allow headbands to hang freely below
hand.
2. Cup the respirator firmly against your

and inhale sharply.
A negative pressure should be felt inside
respirator. If air flows around your nose,
tighten the nosepiece. If air leaks
around the edges, reposition the
headband for better fit.
