Singer Safety Half Mask Respirator

Gas filters and combined filters with the EN 14387:2004+A1:2008 rating are tested for their ability to remove specific gases, vapors, and particles, as well as their mechanical strength and breathing resistance. This ensures the filter performs reliably, allowing you to breathe safely when using a compatible respiratory protective device in hazardous environments.

Half masks and quarter masks with the EN 140:1998 rating are tested for minimum safety requirements, including facepiece integrity, breathing resistance, and carbon dioxide levels. This ensures they provide reliable and comfortable respiratory protection, helping to keep you safe from airborne hazards when used correctly.

PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.
