Filter testing (Toxic Industrial Chemicals / EN 14387)

As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratory, we perform tests on the protective performance of filters according to the EN 14387 against industrial pollutants. This involves taking standardised measurements for all known filter types and test substances (incl. HCN and Hg). On request, we carry out sorption tests on protective mask filters or sorbents, using all types of pollutants. The Individual Working Group can also take specific measurements in accordance with EN 372 standards (SX gas filters and combined filters to protect against specific compounds).

As a general rule, the tests are charged at cost price. For all queries, please contact the head of STS 022.
