BS EN 13274 discusses respiratory protective devices. BS EN 13274‑7 is an international standard on the determination of particle filter penetration in respiratory protective devices to protect the wearer from inhaling hazardous air.
BS EN 13274‑7 is the seventh part of a multi-part series that specifies the procedure for testing particle filter penetration for respiratory protective devices. BS EN 13274‑7 is intended as a supplement to the specific device standards for respiratory protective devices.
BS EN 13274‑7 on the determination of particle filter penetration in respiratory protective devices is useful for:
Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is a particular type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), used to protect the individual wearer against the inhalation of hazardous substances in the workplace air.
BS EN 13274‑7 provides you with the sodium chloride and paraffin oil test method and test requirements to determine the particle filter efficiency for respiratory protective devices by testing the particle filter penetration.
The test methods specified under BS EN 13274-7 assist you to improve the performance of the RPE and decrease the risk of injury to the wearer due to breathing contaminated or oxygen-deficient air.
BS EN 13274‑7:2019 supersedes EN 13274‑7:2008, which is withdrawn. BS EN 13274‑7:2019 has made some technical changes. These include:
