•
Storage protected from direct sunlight, at -10...+50 °C and relative humidity (RH) under 75 %
(sealed fi lters RH max. 95 %). A properly stored, unused mask stays in good condition for a
long storage period.

The components should not be more than 10 years old.
•
Before use, the mask must undergo a function test, see Table.

After use, an opened fi lter must be sealed tightly if it is to be reused, but it must be replaced
within 6 months at the latest.

Masks (without fi lters) are coarse waste. A very contaminated mask as well as used fi lters
are special refuse and shall be disposed of according to the fi ltered substances (gases or
particles).
