3 Field of application

Halfmasks are personal protective devices for breathing apparatus, and combined with filters, can protect against
gasses, vapours and dusts. The instructions for use of filters and respiratory equipment, as well as the safety standards
and regulations issued by the testing authority, must be strictly followed. The users of POLIMASK must ensure that the
highest concentrations of contaminants in the ambient atmosphere are not exceeded (= threshold limit values, TLV).
The threshold limit values are indicated in the manual containing the instructions for use of the filters used with the
mask. Specific limitations, indicated as follows, for the use of half masks equipped with filter are also to be respected.
After connecting the half-mask to the filter, a respiratory protection device is obtained (respiratory equipment).
