European foreword
This document (EN 13274-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 79 “Respiratory
protective devices”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2020, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13274-2:2001.
The following main technical changes have been made compared to EN 13274-2:2001:
a) Clause 4 amended to include relevant test conditions and the activity sequence;
b) Clause 5 amended regarding the estimation of uncertainty;
c) data for test subjects added;
d) assessment of practical performance amended;
e) test report added;
f) activities for practical performance tests more specified and amended.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of

Introduction
This document is intended as a supplement to the specific device standards for respiratory protective
devices. Test methods are specified for complete or parts of devices. If deviations from the test method
given in this document are necessary, these deviations will be specified in the relevant device standard.

1 Scope
This document specifies practical performance tests for respiratory protective devices, except for diving
apparatus. The purpose of these tests is to subjectively assess certain properties, characteristics and
functions of the device, when worn by test subjects in simulated practical use, which cannot be assessed
by tests described in other standards.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 132, Respiratory protective devices — Definitions of terms and pictograms
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 132 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
4 Pre-requisites
In order to implement this document, at least the following parameters need to be specified in the
relevant device standard:
— number of samples;
— device preparation;
— any prior conditioning or testing;
— number and selection of test subjects;
— deviations;
— pass/fail criteria;
— identification of activities (by number in Table 1), and duration/repetition if different to those
specified;
— relevant test conditions for each activity e.g. ambient or low temperature;
— activity sequence, if relevant.
5 Nominal values and tolerances
Unless otherwise specified, the values stated in this document are expressed as nominal values. Except
for temperature limits, values which are not stated as maxima or minima shall be subject to a tolerance
of ±5 %. Unless otherwise specified, for the purpose of practical performance testing the ambient
conditions shall be between 20 °C and 28 °C and a relative humidity of between 20 % and 80 %. Any
temperature limits specified shall be subject to an accuracy of ±1 °C.

For each of the required measurements performed in accordance with this document, a corresponding
estimate of the uncertainty of measurement should be evaluated [1]. This estimate of uncertainty
should be applied and stated when reporting test results, in order to enable the user of the test report
to assess the reliability of the result.
6 Test methods
6.1 Principle
Test subjects donning and wearing the device in accordance with the information supplied by the
manufacturer perform activities in simulation of practical use. They are then asked to assess the device
subjectively and comment accordingly.
6.2 Test subjects
Before performing any tests involving human subjects, account should be taken of any national
regulations concerning the medical history, examination or supervision of the test subjects.
Test subjects who are experienced in wearing the type of respiratory protective device being tested
shall be used. The medical condition of the subjects shall be satisfactory for the tasks involved. The
necessity for a medical examination before the tests and for medical supervision during them is at the
discretion of the appropriate responsible person of the test house.
Prior to the tests the following data shall be recorded, but not reported, for each test subject:
— name;
— age;
— sex;
— height;
— weight.
