Summary
This standard specifies the classification and marking, requirements, testing methods, marking and instructions for use, packaging and storage of medical positive pressure air-supply respirators. This standard is applicable to positive-pressure air-supply respiratory protection for filtering microbial particles in the air and blocking droplets, blood and other pollutants in medical working environments or other environments where the risk of exposure to pathogenic microbial aerosols has been assessed. This standard does not apply to powered air-supply respirators for protection against toxic and harmful gases, nor does it apply to respirators for industrial dust, combustion, explosion, oxygen-deficient environments and escape.
