Singer Safety Full Face Mask

Standards and labels

• EN 136:1998/AC:2003

  EN 136:1998/AC:2003 is a European standard for testing and rating the performance of gas masks. It explains how the gas masks should be tested, what they need to be able to do, and how to mark the gas masks that pass the test. The standard also includes requirements for test reports and the marking of products that have been tested and classified in accordance with the standard. The possible test results of EN 136:1998/AC:2003 can range from non-compliant to Class 1, 2, and 3. The standard is an amendment of the original standard EN 136:1998, which means it updates the original standard with additional requirements and test methods.

  Test results

  Class 2

  The EN 136:1998/AC:2003 Class 2 specification relates to the performance requirements for full face masks for respiratory protective devices. A Class 2 test result indicates a specific performance level that must be met in terms of leakage, breathing resistance, and overall safety features. These masks are typically tested to ensure a balance between protection and breathing comfort, making them suitable for prolonged use in environments with hazardous substances. The testing method involves putting the mask under simulated conditions that resemble those in which it will be used, including exposure to gases and measurement of inward leakage as well as the resistance to breathing. Practical implications for a Class 2 result in this standard ensure that the product is appropriately certified for environments where ingestion or inhalation of toxic substances is a significant risk, thus providing a clear guide for procurement professionals on the safety and compliance level of the masks intended for various occupational uses.

• EN 14387:2004+A1:2008

  EN 14387:2004+A1:2008 is a set of rules for breathing equipment used by firefighters and emergency workers. It tells what the equipment should do, how long it should last, and how easy it should be to use. To make sure the equipment follows these rules, it goes through testing. Possible test results include whether the equipment passed or failed the rules set in the standard.

• EN 143:2000/A1:2006

  EN 143:2000/A1:2006 is a European standard that sets the requirements for the performance of industrial valves. It defines the minimum requirements for design, construction, testing, and marking of valves used in industrial applications. This standard includes the requirements from EN 143:2000 and additional amendments made in A1:2006. Performance requirements include things like strength, durability, the ability to control the flow of liquids or gases, and safety. Possible test results include information about the valve's ability to open and close properly, any defects or problems that were identified during testing, and if it meets the required standards set by EN 143:2000/A1:2006.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• PPE Category 3

  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.
