Overview

EN 1827:1999/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment addressing half masks without inhalation valves fitted with separable filters for protection against gases, particles or both. The amendment updates normative references, clarifies filter types and classes, and aligns testing and marking requirements with related standards such as EN 14387 and EN 13274-7. The document also notes a derogation due to BT 63/2005 in the scope.

This draft amendment (prA1, October 2008) modifies EN 1827:1999 to reflect revised test methods, designation rules and manufacturer information requirements. It is intended to support consistent performance, labelling and safe use of half masks across CEN member states.

Key Topics

  • Filter types and classes: Particle filter classes are redefined as FM P1 NR, FM P2 NR and FM P3 NR (low, medium, high filtering efficiency). Protection from higher classes includes protection from lower classes.
  • Designation and marking: Updated designation example: "Half mask without inhalation valve EN 1827:1999 FM E1 P2 NR D" where D indicates the particle filter passes the dolomite clogging test.
  • Testing references: Particle filter penetration and clogging tests reference EN 13274-7:2008; gas filter capacity and combined filter tests reference EN 14387:2004+A1:2008.
  • Sampling and conditioning: The amendment specifies sample counts and conditioning regimes for particle penetration tests (state as received, simulated wearing, mechanical strength plus temperature conditioning).
  • Manufacturer information: Adds a warning requirement for devices marked "NR" (not reusable) that combined or particle filters shall not be used for more than one shift (subclause 10.7).
  • Colour coding: Colour coding of filter elements is to be in accordance with EN 143 or EN 14387.

Applications

This standard and its amendment are relevant for:

  • Manufacturers designing and marking half masks with separable filters
  • Certification and testing laboratories performing filter penetration, clogging and gas capacity tests
  • Safety managers selecting half masks for workplaces with gas and/or particulate hazards
  • Procurement teams who must verify labelling, test references and single‑shift (NR) limitations

Practical value includes clearer labelling conventions (designation and year), harmonised test references to modern EN methods, and explicit guidance on single‑shift use and dolomite clogging (D option), all aiding correct product selection and compliance.

Related Standards

  • EN 14387:2004+A1:2008 - Gas filter(s) and combined filter(s) requirements and tests referenced by this amendment
  • EN 13274-7:2008 - Method for determination of particle filter penetration referenced for penetration and clogging tests
  • EN 143 - Particle filter colour coding referenced for marking

Note: This document is a CEN draft amendment distributed for review and comment. It supports essential requirements of EU directives and, if approved, will be incorporated into national standards of CEN members. The amendment should be read alongside the base EN 1827:1999 and the cited EN test methods.
