What makes a gas mask CBRN, NBC or CBA-RCA? Parcil Safety answers the question and more!

Gas masks and respirators can have a lot of different certifications, tests, and ratings. One of the more common ones, CBRN, has a lot of factors that go into it and depending on the regulating body, you need to consider different components when looking to purchase a CBRN gas mask.

For example, in the US under NIOSH regulations, a CBRN gas mask can only be tested bundled with an NBC canister. Under EU standards, EN CE, a gas mask can be tested separately from the filter canister.

Below are some common factors to look at when determining what CBRN gas mask is right for you:
Who is the regulating body the gas mask is tested fpr?
What material are the seals made out of? (Disclaimer: we did say in the video that CBRN features Butyl rubber seals, but some CBRN masks have been tested with silicone)
What's the rating on the the face shield?
What material and number of touch points on the head harness?
Are they tested with a particular filter or by itself?
