Conditions for use

The mask/helmet combination needs to be carefully adapted to the equipment
wearer (correct mask size, fastening plate settings and internal helmet
components) due to its design. The mask/helmet adapter must be easy to
adjust.
The following conditions must be met if the full face masks are used with a
respiratory filter or a powered air-purifying respirator:
– The ambient conditions (particularly the types and concentrations of
contaminants) must be known. Use corresponding respiratory filters. Only
use self-contained open-circuit breathing apparatus or air line breathing
apparatus in cases where the contaminant is unknown.
– Only use filtering devices if the air does not directly endanger the health or
life of the user.
– It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change to the
worse.
– Do not use filtering devices if there is suspicion of contaminants with low
warning properties (low-odour, tasteless, no irritation of eyes and airways).
A decreasing protective effect of the filtering device cannot be determined in
this case.
– Do not use filtering devices for entering unventilated tanks, mines, canals,
etc.
– Do not use filtering devices in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
– The oxygen content of the ambient air must not fall below the following limit
values:
– at least 17 Vol% oxygen in all European countries except the
Netherlands, Belgium and UK
– at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Australia and
New Zealand
– In other countries, observe the applicable national regulations.
