The Avon CBRNCF50 canister meets the NIOSH CBRN APR standard at the 15-minute classification level (Cap 1), the EUROPEAN STANDARD, EN 14387 (A1B2E1K1 P3), and the relevant criteria specified in the NATO Triptych for protection against chemical and biological warfare agents in aerosol, liquid form. It provides effective protection against all the gaseous agents specified in the NIOSH CBRN standard, as well as excellent performance against a wider range of both chemical warfare agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). A particulate filter element exceeding the requirements of NIOSH 42CFR84 P100 and EN 14387 (P3) is incorporated, ensuring effective performance against all dusts, mists, fumes, biological agents (bacteria, virus, fungal spores etc), including radioactive dusts. The canister body is made of a modified polyphenylene etherpolystyrene blend (PPE&PS), which is a high quality engineering construction polymer. It provides a very robust product which is extremely durable against shock and impact in operational use. The canister body is black in color and has a spark finish to reduce reflection. Gas adsorption is by chrome free activated charcoal impregnated with metallic salts and other compounds to provide a balanced performance against both physically and chemically adsorbed species. The high efficiency filter element is made of PTFE, PET/PE. The CBRNCF50 is entirely non-ferrous and non-magnetic. The U.S. Government has certain controls over the CBRNCF50 CBRN Filter and prohibits the exporting, selling, transferring, transporting, or shipping of the product outside the U.S. without first obtaining approval from the U.S. government, or as authorized by U.S. law and regulations. This restriction applies whether the product is in its original form or has been incorporated into other items. This product is subject to Export Administration Regulations (EAR) with a classification of EAR99.
