For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 12903 and GB/T 18664, as well as the following, apply.
3.1
non-powered air-purifying respirators
respirator that can overcome the resistance of components by the wearer's independent breathing, filter toxic and harmful gases or vapors and particles in the environment, and supply clean air for the wearer to breathe
[Source: GB 2626-2019, 3.3, modified]
3.2
non-powered air-purifying respirators for escape
non-powered air-purifying respirator designed for use only when escaping from dangerous environment (3.1)
3.3
oxygen deficiency environment
place where the oxygen content in the ambient air is less than 19.5% (volume fraction)
[Source: GB 8958-2006, 3.1, modified]
3.4
full facepiece
tight-fitting facepiece capable of covering eyes, mouth, nose and lower jaw
[Source: GB 2626-2019, 3.6]
3.5
hood
loose-fitting hood capable of completely covering the head, eyes, nose, mouth and neck, and covering part of the shoulder or be used with protective clothing
[Source: GB 30864-2014, 3.8, modified]
3.6
gas filter capacity
mass or volume of the specific test medium removed or retained by the anti-virus filter or comprehensive protective filter when it reaches the breakthrough concentration under the specified temperature, humidity, gas concentration and flow rate of the test medium
3.7
breakthrough concentration
concentration of the test medium after passing through the filter
3.8
breakthrough time
time from the beginning of the filter test to the time when the test medium gas and the specified reaction product detected in the outlet airflow to reach the specified breakthrough concentration
3.9
protective time
time from the beginning of the test medium passing through the filter to the time when the breakthrough concentration of the test medium reaches a limited value under the specified test conditions
Note: The protection time does not represent the effective working time of the respirator during actual service. Depending on the actual service conditions, the effective working time may be different from the protection time.
