3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators
9300+ Series
Technical Data Sheet
Description
The 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators 9300+ Series
meet the requirements of European Standard EN 149:2001
+ A1:2009, ltering facepiece respirators for use against
particles. They provide eective respiratory protection for
use in industries where workers will be exposed to solid (dust)
particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles.
Applications
These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations of
solid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles up to
the following limits:
Model EN 149+A1
Classication
Exhalation
Valve

*Many countries apply Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) which reduce the
maximum concentrations of particles in which these products can be used. See
national regulations and EN 529:2005.
Respiratory protection is only eective if it is correctly
selected, tted and worn throughout the time when the
wearer is exposed to hazards.
Standards
Products are classied by ltering eciency and maximum
total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3),
also by usability and clogging resistance.
Performance tests in this standard include lter penetration;
extended exposure (loading) test; ammability; 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.
Filter penetration
The lter penetration, initial and after 120mg of loading with
both 120mg of NaCl* and Paran Oil, shall not exceed the
following limits:
EN 149:2001+A1:2009
Classication
Maximum Filter Penetration
FFP1 20%
FFP2 6%
FFP3 1%
*Loading of NaCl may be stopped if lter penetration during loading is
observed to decrease.
Total Inward Leakage
Ten subjects perform ve test exercises whilst wearing the
respirator. The total inward leakage inside of the respirator
due to face seal leakage, lter penetration and valve leakage
is measured for each subject exercise. The subject mean total
inward leakage for 8 out of 10 subjects shall not exceed the
following limits:
EN 149:2001+A1:2009
Classication
Maximum Total Inward
Leakage
FFP1 22%
FFP2 8%
FFP3 2%
