long storage period.
The components should not be more than 12 years old.
Before use, the mask must undergo a function test, see Table.
After use, an opened filter must be sealed tightly if it is to be reused, but it must be replaced
within 6 months at the latest.

refuse and shall be disposed of according to the filtered substances (gases or particles).
