“Open” facepieces, such as helmets
or hoods, do not provide sufficient
protection in case of breakdown or
inferior output of the blower.
Therefore, devices of class TH1 must
never be used against carcinogenic,
very poisonous or radioactive gases
and vapours.
Device with combined filter
The specified multiples of threshold value for the gas or particle filters are
given separately, but in all cases the lowest value applies.

For devices with combined filter apply
the relevant limitations of gas and
particle filters.
*) Provided that the maximum permissible detrimental gas concentration for the gas filter is not exceeded. For
power-assisted filtering devices with gas filter, concentration must not exceed 0.05 vol.% in gas filter class 1
and 0.1 vol.% in gas filter class 2 and 0.5 vol.% in gas filter class 3.
