Fire Smoke Masks

Fire smoke masks are air-purifying respiratory protective devices (RPEDs) used to safeguard individuals from harmful contaminants present in smoke, particularly during fires. These masks feature various components such as filters, cartridges, canisters, sorbents, or catalysts to purify inhaled air. Compliance with specific regulations and standards, like the EU 2016/425 (Personal Protective Equipment Regulation), ensures their safety and effectiveness. Manufacturers must provide a Declaration of Conformity or an EC type-examination certificate as proof of compliance. Proper labeling, packaging, and documentation with clear images are crucial for adherence to safety standards.
