EN 136 is the European standard for Full Face Masks - Respiratory protective devices.
Note: There are 3 classes of full face masks, each class gives the same level of respiratory protection but has differences based on its application.
A dummy head wearing a Full Face (FF) Mask is exposed to a flame. In order to pass the test, the FF Mask shall not burn for more than 5 seconds after the flame is removed. This test is necessary for all 3 classes of FF Masks. Note: Class 3 masks are subjected to a more difficult flammability testing procedure.
When the mask is in position, each strap on the harness should withstand a pull of 100N (CLASS 1), or 150N (CLASSES 2&3) applied for 10 seconds in the direction of the pull. The test is deemed successful if there is no permanent linear deformation of the straps i.e. the length of the straps upon completion of the test should not be greater than 5% compared to their pre test measurement. For example: 10cm vs. 10.5cm.
This test is carried out in a test chamber comprising a panel of 10 people and using a test agent of Sodium Chloride while people perform practical exercises that simulate real working conditions. The inward leakage test stipulates that the % of Sodium Chloride shall not exceed an average value of 0.05% of the inhaled air inside the mask.
