SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The 3M™ Versa o™ M-Series headtops provide respiratory protection and are designed

to be used with an approved Air Delivery Unit (see Reference Lea et) to provide

respiratory protection. These products meet the requirements of EN12941 (Respiratory

protective devices – Powered ltering devices) and EN14594 (Respiratory protective

devices – Continuous ow compressed air line breathing apparatus).

Note: When regulators and compressed air supply tubes that are exclusively marked

EN1835 are used with M-Series headtops, the system will only meet the requirements of

EN1835. Air is fed via a breathing tube from the belt mounted Air Delivery Unit to the

back of the headtop. The air ows over the top of the wearer's head and down in front of

the face. The M-Series headtops offer eye protection and speci c headtops within the

range also offer head protection.

APPROVALS

These products meet the requirements of the European Community Directive

89/686/EEC (Personal Protective Equipment Directive) and are thus CE marked.

Certi cation under Article 10, EC Type-Examination and Article 11, EC quality control,

has been issued by BSI Product Services, Kitemark House, Maylands Avenue, Hemel

Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 4SQ, UK (Noti ed Body number 0086).
