Title: DIN EN 16984:2017 - Respiratory protective devices - Half-face filters to protect against gases and/or particles - Requirements and test methods
Introduction: The European Standard DIN EN 16984:2017 specifies the requirements and test methods for half-face filters used to protect against gases and/or particles. The standard is published by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) and is identical to the European Standard EN 16984:2017.
Scope: This European Standard applies to half-face filters, which are used as part of a respiratory protective device (RPD) to protect against gases and/or particles. The standard covers filters that are used to protect against a wide range of hazards, including gases, vapors, and particles.
Requirements:
Test Methods:
Classification: The standard classifies half-face filters into several types, based on their performance and intended use:
Certification: The standard requires that half-face filters be certified by a notified body before they can be placed on the market.
Conclusion: DIN EN 16984:2017 provides a comprehensive framework for the design, testing, and certification of half-face filters used in respiratory protective devices. The standard ensures that filters meet minimum requirements for performance, safety, and efficacy, and provides users with confidence in the protection provided by these devices.
