Please read these instructions in conjunction with the appropriate 3M™ Facepiece User
Instructions and also, where applicable, with the 3M™ 5000 Series particle filters user instructions where you will find
information on: • Accessories • Spare parts • Approved combinations of 3M™ Face masks and 3M™ Filters
For permitted filter combinations see Fig. 1.
DESCRIPTION
This product meets the requirements of the following standards: EN 14387:2004 + A1:2008 This product when used as a
complete system helps protect against certain Organic gas and vapour hazards (see Technical Specification). In addition, the
3M™ 5000 Series particle filters may be used in conjunction with the 3M™ 6000 Series gas and vapour filters. Organic
vapour filter service life depends on many factors including the contaminant(s), their concentration in air, the temperature and
humidity and breathing rate of the user. The 3M 6051i/6055i filters contain a visual End of Service Life Indicator (ESLI) for
certain organic vapours. As the filters are used, an indicator bar may develop, indicating the remaining filter service life. The
ESLI is located inside the filter next to the activated carbon. As organic vapours move through the filter, they are also
adsorbed into the ESLI. The filter wall is clear so you can see if the indicator bar is developing as the filter is used (Fig 3).

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Particular attention should be given to warning statements where indicated.
• Proper selection, training, use and appropriate maintenance are essential in order for the product to help protect
the wearer from certain airborne contaminants. Failure to follow all instructions on the use of these respiratory
protection products and/or failure to properly wear the complete product during all periods of exposure may
adversely affect the wearer’s health, lead to severe or life threatening illness or permanent disability.
Always be sure that the complete product is:
- Suitable for the application;
- Fitted correctly;
- Worn during all periods of exposure;
- Replaced when necessary.
For suitability and proper use follow local regulations and refer to all information supplied. For more information contact a
safety professional or 3M on 0870 60 800 60 (UK) or 1800 320 500 (Ireland).
Use this respirator system strictly in accordance with all instructions:
• contained in this booklet
• accompanying other components of the system
• Do not submerge the filters in liquid.
• Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen. (3M definition. Individual countries may apply their own limits
on oxygen deficiency. Seek advice if in doubt).
• Do not use these products in oxygen or oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
• Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric contaminants/concentrations which are unknown or immediately
dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or against contaminants/concentrations which generate high heats of reaction with
chemical filters.
• Leave the contaminated area immediately if:
a) Any part of the system becomes damaged.
b) Airflow to the facepiece decreases or stops.
c) Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing resistance occurs.
d) Dizziness or other distress occurs.
e) You smell or taste contaminants or irritation occurs.
f) If any part of the indicator bar reaches the end-of-service line (denoted by rubbish bin icon on filter label).
• Never alter, modify or repair this device.
• The end of service life indicator (ESLI) is not appropriate for all organic vapours.
• These products do not contain components made from natural rubber latex.
• The employer must determine whether or not the ESLI is appropriate for the workplace
• Do not use for compounds with a boiling point <65°C. An AX filter, eg 3M™ 6098 Combination filter should be used in such
instances.
• If you have red-green colour blindness or colour deficiency, rely on a colleague who can see the progression of the ESLI
indicator bar.
• Regardless of ESLI status, user must exit exposure area and change both filters if contaminant odour, taste or irritation is
detected.
• If organic vapour concentrations are too low, they will not be detected by the ESLI. For Minimum Indication Levels (MIL) per
compound, please see addendum.
• A list of common organic vapours and their minimum indication levels are shown.
• If you can't find a specific organic vapour, please contact 3M on 0870 60 800 60 (UK) or 1800 320 500 (Ireland).
• It is recommended that you search this table by CAS number.
NOTE: Save all user instructions for continuing reference.
It is critical to be able to see the ESLI and distinguish the indicator bar. If you can't see the indicator bar because of poor
lighting, narrow light spectrum, glare, tinted eyewear, red-green colour blindness, colour deficiency, etc., then either go to a
different viewing area or rely on a colleague who can see the progression of the indicator bar. If this cannot be achieved, do
not rely on the ESLI. Instead, replace cartridges in accordance with an established change schedule.
PREPARATION FOR USE
CAUTION Care should be exercised when using previously unpacked filters as they may have reduced service life
or may have been used.
Check that the filter is appropriate for the purpose – check colour code, letter code and class.
Before initial use, always check that the product is within the stated shelf life (use by date).
