Description
The 3M™ 8300 Series Particulate Respirators provide effective
respiratory protection for use in industries where workers will be
exposed to dust particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles.
• Tested and CE Approved to EN 149:2001+A1:2009
• Robust outer shell improves collapse resistance
• M-Noseclip adjusts easily for fewer pressure points and
greater comfort on the nose
• Braided headbands improve comfort on the neck, face and
head with a secure feel
• 3M™ Advanced Electret Filter Material gives effective filtration
with low breathing resistance for consistent high quality
performance
• The super-soft, cushioned inner lining helps workers
staycomfortable.
• 3M™ Cool Flow™ exhalation valve offers improved comfort
in hot humid environments and/or where work is hard
andphysical*.
• Coloured headbands for easy identification: yellow for FFP1,
blue for FFP2 and red for FFP3
* 8312, 8322 and 8833 models only
Approvals
These products meet the requirements of the European
Community Directive 89/686/EEC (Personal Protective Equipment
Directive) and are thus CE marked. Certification under Article
10, EC Type-Examination, has been issued for these products
by INSPEC International Limited, 56 Leslie Hough Way, Salford,
Greater Manchester M6 6AJ, UK (Notified Body number 0194).
Certification under Article 11, EC quality control, has been issued
by BSI Product Services (Notified Body number 0086).
Standards
These products meet the requirements of recently amended
European Standard EN 149:2001 + A1:2009, filtering facepiece
respirators for use against particles. They should be used to
protect the wearer from solid and non-volatile liquid particles only.
Products are classified by filtering efficiency and maximum total
inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3), also by
usability and clogging resistance.
Performance tests in this standard include filter penetration;
extended exposure (loading) test; flammability; breathing
resistance and total inward leakage. Reusable products are also
subjected to cleaning, storage and mandatory clogging resistance
tests (clogging is optional for non reusable products). A full copy
of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can be purchased from your national
standards body.
Designations:
R = Reusable
NR = Non reusable (single shift use only)
D = Meets the clogging resistance requirements
Applications
These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations of solid
and non-volatile liquid particles up to the following limits:
Model EN 149+A1
Classification
Exhalation
Valve
Threshold Limit
Value, TLV
8310 FFP1 NR D Unvalved 4

8320 FFP2 NR D Unvalved 12
8322 FFP2 NR D Valved 12
8833 FFP3 R D Valved 50
Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,
fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed
to hazards.
