Gas/Vapour Filter Classes
The 6000 Series gas/vapour ¿ lters are also classi ¿ ed, into one of two classes, depending on their capacity to remove
contaminants from the inhaled air
Required Minimum Protection Factor (RMPF) - the protection factor required to reduce exposure to an acceptable level. It is expressed as a
ratio of the measured ambient airborne concentration of a contamniant to an acceptable exposure level or stanard.
Please refer to National workplace protection guidance for application of these numbers in the work place protection factors.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Filter/facepiece assembly instructions.
a) Align 6000 Series ¿ lter notch with facepiece mark and push together ( ¿ g 2).
b) Turn ¿ lter 1/4 turn clockwise to stop ( ¿ g 3).
Discard and replace both ¿ lters at the same time. Ensure that both ¿ lters are of the same type and class. To remove ¿ lter, turn ¼ turn anticlockwise
Replace the ¿ lter if taste, smell or irritation from gases or vapours is noted, or breathing resistance becomes unacceptable.
The service life of ¿ lters will depend upon the activity of the wearer (breathing rate); the speci ¿ c type, volatility and concentration of the contaminants; and
environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature.
