3M™ 8000 Series
Particulate Respirators
Product Description
The 3M™ 8000 Series Particulate Respirators provide eective
respiratory protection for use in industries where workers will be
exposed to dust particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles.
• Tested and CE Approved to EN 149:2001+A1:2009.
• Traditional convex shape, with nose clip and twin strap design.
• Durable, collapse resistant inner shell.
• Reliable, eective protection against fine particles.
• 3M™ Advanced Electret Filter Material gives eective filtration
with low breathing resistance for consistent high quality
performance.
• 3M™ Cool Flow™ exhalation valve oers improved comfortin
hot humid environments and/or where work is hard and
physical*.
• Coloured headbands for easy identification: yellow for FFP1
and blue for FFP2.
* 8812 and 8822 models only
Approvals
Standards
These products meet the requirements of recently amended
European Standard EN 149:2001 + A1:2009, filtering facepiece
respirators for use against particles. They should be used to
protect the wearer from solid and non-volatile liquid particles only.
Products are classified by filtering efficiency and maximum total
inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3), also by
usability and clogging resistance.
Performance tests in this standard include filter penetration;
extended exposure (loading) test; flammability; breathing
resistance and total inward leakage. Reusable products are also
subjected to cleaning, storage and mandatory clogging resistance
tests (clogging is optional for non reusable products). A full copy
of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can be purchased from your national
standards body.
Designations:
R = Reusable
NR = Non reusable (single shift use only)
D = Meets the clogging resistance requirements
These products meet the requirements of the European
Community Directive 89/686/EEC (Personal Protective Equipment
Directive) and are thus CE marked. Certification under Article
10, EC Type-Examination, has been issued for these products
by INSPEC International Limited, 56 Leslie Hough Way, Salford,
Greater Manchester M6 6AJ, UK (Notified Body number 0194).
Certification under Article 11, EC quality control, has been issued
by BSI Product Services (Notified Body number 0086).
Applications
These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations of solid
and non-volatile liquid particles up to the following limits:
Model EN 14 9+ A1
Classification
8710 E / 8710S FFP1 NR D Unvalved 4
8812 FFP1 NR D Valved 4
8810 FFP2 NR D Unvalved 12
8822 FFP2 NR D Valved 12
Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,
fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed
to hazards.

Applications
This selection guide is only an outline designed to focus on products which may be appropriate for typical applications - it should not be used as the only means of selecting a product. Selection
of the most appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) will depend on the particular situation and should be made only by a competent person knowledgeable of the assessed risks, actual
working conditions and limitations of PPE. Details regarding performance and limitations are set out on the product packaging and user information. If in doubt, contact a safety professional or 3M.
For respiratory training and advice please contact your local 3M representative.
