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.
