BS EN 134 is a European Standard that specifies a harmonized nomenclature for typical components of respiratory protective devices. BS EN 134 does not specify which or how many components are used and where they are located in the apparatus. The illustrations used are given as examples only for the identification of the different parts and the corresponding terms for facilitating the application.
The definitions and terms used are given in EN 132 and EN 135. The terms are given in the three official CEN languages.
BS EN 134 on respiratory protective devices is useful for:
Individuals wearing respiratory protective equipment are protected from inhaling harmful compounds in the air. Having access to common terms across the industry facilitates and accelerates communication, research, and reporting across the industry in different languages. BS EN 134 guidelines bring uniformity in reporting, documentation, research, innovation, and product development.
Using BS EN 134 you will be in a position to facilitate clear communication across various industries that, in turn, facilitates safety and protection. BS EN 134 enables customers to have access to high quality, durable, and quality management.
