23、ratory protective device can only be approved when the individual components satisfy the requirements of the test specification which may be a complete standard or part of a standard, and successful practical performance tests have been carried out on complete apparatus where specified in the approp

24、riate standard. If for any reason a complete apparatus is not tested then simulation of the apparatus is permitted provided the respiratory characteristics and weight distribution are similar to those of the complete apparatus. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for half m

25、asks and quarter masks for use as part of respiratory protective devices, except escape apparatus and diving apparatus. Laboratory and practical performance tests are included for the assessment of compliance with the requirements. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated

29、ng Amendment 1:1992) 3 Definition For the purposes of this European Standard the definitions given in prEN 132 and the nomenclature given in EN 134 apply together with the following. A half mask is a facepiece which covers the nose, mouth and chin. A quarter mask is a facepiece which covers the nose

30、 and mouth. They are intended to provide adequate sealing on the face of the wearer of a respiratory protective device against the ambient atmosphere, when the skin is dry or moist and when the head is moved. 4 Description Air enters the facepiece and passes directly to the nose and mouth area of th

31、e facepiece. The exhaled air flows directly to the ambient atmosphere, via the exhalation valve(s) or by other appropriate means. 5 Designation Half masks and quarter masks meeting the requirements of this standard shall be designated in the following manner: half mask EN 140:1998; quarter mask EN 1

32、40:1998. 6 Requirements 6.1 General In all tests, all test samples shall meet the requirements. 6.2 Nominal values and tolerances Unless otherwise specified, the values stated in this standard are expressed as nominal values. Except for temperature limits, values which are not stated as maxima or mi

33、nima shall be subject to a tolerance of 5 %. Unless otherwise specified, the ambient temperature for testing shall be (24 8)8C, the temperature limits shall be subject to an accuracy of 18C and the relative humidity shall be (50 30) %. 6.3 Visual inspection The visual inspection shall include the ma

34、rking and information supplied by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.4 Materials The use of aluminium, magnesium and titanium or alloys containing such proportions of these metals as will, on impact, give rise to frictional sparks capable of igniting flammable gas mixt

35、ures for exposed parts, i.e. those which may be subjected to impact during use of the apparatus shall be restricted to a minimum. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.5 Resistance to temperature Following the conditioning in accordance with 7.2 and after being allowed to return to ambient

36、 temperature the facepiece shall show no appreciable deformation and any incorporated connector to prEN 148-1 shall be gauged and shall comply with the appropriate standard. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4. After this test the facepiece shall meet the requirements for inward lea

37、kage as specified in 6.16. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.13. 6.6 Flammability Parts of the facepiece that might be exposed to a flame during use shall either not burn or not continue to burn for more than 5 s after removal from the flame. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3 and

38、 7.5. It is not required that the facepiece still has to be usable after the test.Page 4 EN 140:1998 BSI 04-1999 6.7 Cleaning and disinfecting The materials used shall withstand the cleaning and disinfecting agents and procedures as recommended by the manufacturer. Testing shall be done in accordanc

39、e with 7.6. 6.8 Demountable parts All demountable connections shall be readily connected and secured, where possible by hand. Any means of sealing used shall be retained in position when the connection is disconnected during normal maintenance. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.9 Repla

40、ceable components Unless integral with the half mask or quarter mask the following components (if fitted) shall be replaceable: Head harness, connector(s), inhalation and exhalation valves. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.10 Head harness 6.10.1 The head harness shall be designed so t

41、hat the facepiece can be donned and removed easily. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.13 and 7.14. 6.10.2 The head harness shall be adjustable or self-adjusting and shall hold the facepiece firmly and comfortably in position. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.13 and 7.14. 6.10.3 Ea

42、ch strap of the head harness, buckles and other adjusting means shall withstand a pull of 50 N applied for 10 s in the direction of pulling when the facepiece is donned. No breaks or sliding of the straps shall occur. The requirement applies to the buckles and attachment lugs as well as to the strap

43、s. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.7. 6.11 Connector 6.11.1 The connection between the facepiece and the apparatus may be achieved by a permanent or special (e.g. insert) type of connection or by a thread connection to prEN 148-1. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3. 6.11.1.1 A f

44、acepiece shall not have more than one thread connection to prEN 148-1. Testing shall be done in accordance with 7.3.

It shall not be possible to fit an exhalation valve assembly

48、 into the inspiratory circuit or an inhalation valve assembly into the exhalation circuit. Inhalation and exhalation valve assemblies, sub-assemblies and piece parts that are by the manufacturer designed to be identical, are acceptable. Differently designed inhalation and exhalation valves are accep
