3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators
9300+ Series
Technical Data Sheet
Description
The 3M™ Aura™ Particulate Respirators 9300+ Series
meet the requirements of European Standard EN 149:2001
+ A1:2009, ltering facepiece respirators for use against
particles. They provide eective respiratory protection for
use in industries where workers will be exposed to solid (dust)
particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles.
Applications
These respirators are suitable for use in concentrations of
solid (dust) particles and/or non-volatile liquid particles up to
the following limits:
Model EN 149+A1

*Many countries apply Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) which reduce the
maximum concentrations of particles in which these products can be used. See
national regulations and EN 529:2005.
Respiratory protection is only eective if it is correctly
selected, tted and worn throughout the time when the
wearer is exposed to hazards.
Standards
Products are classied by ltering eciency and maximum
total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3),
also by usability and clogging resistance.
Performance tests in this standard include lter penetration;
extended exposure (loading) test; ammability; 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.
Filter penetration
The lter penetration, initial and after 120mg of loading with
both 120mg of NaCl* and Paran Oil, shall not exceed the
following limits:
EN 149:2001+A1:2009
Classication
Maximum Filter Penetration
FFP1 20%
FFP2 6%
FFP3 1%
*Loading of NaCl may be stopped if lter penetration during loading is
observed to decrease.
Total Inward Leakage
Ten subjects perform ve test exercises whilst wearing the
respirator. The total inward leakage inside of the respirator
due to face seal leakage, lter penetration and valve leakage
is measured for each subject exercise. The subject mean total
inward leakage for 8 out of 10 subjects shall not exceed the
following limits:
EN 149:2001+A1:2009
Classication
Maximum Total Inward
Leakage
FFP1 22%
FFP2 8%
FFP3 2%

Breathing Resistance
The breathing resistance of the respirator is tested during
inhalation (continuous ow) and exhalation (cyclical ow).
The breathing resistance of the respirators shall not exceed
the following limits:
Maximum Breathing Resistance
EN 149:2001+A1:2009
Classication
Inhalation
at 30l/min
Inhalation

FFP2 0.7 mbar 2.4 mbar 3.0 mbar
FFP3 1.0 mbar 3.0 mbar 3.0 mbar
Clogging
For single shift use respirators (NR), the clogging test is
optional. For re-usable respirators (R) this test is mandatory.
The respirators are loaded with very high amount of Dolomite
dust which will tend to clog the lter. After loading with the
required amount of dust, the breathing resistance of the
respirators shall not exceed the following limits:

Flammability
Tested respirators are mounted on a metallic head which
rotates with a linear speed of 60mm/s. The respirators are
passed within 20mm of the tip of an 800oC (±50oC) propane
burner ame. The respirator shall not burn or continue to burn
within 5 seconds of removal from the ame.

Fitting Instructions
Before tting device, ensure hands are clean. All respirator
components should be inspected for damage prior to each
use.
1. With reverse side up, separate top and bottom panels to
form a cup shape. Bend slighty at centre of the noseclip.
2. Ensure both panels are fully unfolded.
3. Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face.
Take both straps in other hand. Hold respirator under
chin, with nosepiece up, and pull straps over head.
4. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head
and the lower strap below the ears. Straps must not be
twisted. Adjust top and bottom panels for a comfortable
t, ensuring panels are not folded in.
5. Using both hands, mould nose clip to the shape of the
lower part of the nose to ensure a close t and good seal.
Pinching the nose clip using only one hand may result in
less eective respirator performance.
6. The seal of the respirator on the face should be t-
checked before entering the workplace.
Seal Check
1. Cover the front of the respirator with both hands being
careful not to disturb the t of the respirator.
2. (a) UNVALVED respirator - EXHALE sharply;
(b) VALVED respirator - INHALE sharply;
3. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the nose clip to
eliminate leakage. Repeat the above seal check.
4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back
along the sides of the head to eliminate leakage. Repeat
the above seal check.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal DO NOT enter the
hazardous area. See your supervisor.
Users should be t tested in accordance with national
requirements.
For information regarding t testing procedures, please
contact 3M.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The use of the 3M product described within this document assumes that the user has previous experience of this type of product and that it will be used by a
competent professional. Before any use of this product it is recommended to complete some trials to validate the performance of the product within its expected
application.
All information and specication details contained within this document are inherent to this specic 3M product and would not be applied to other products or
environment. Any action or usage of this product made in violation of this document is at the risk of the user.

Fitting Instructions
These fitting instructions must be followed each time a 3MTM AuraTM 9300+Series respirator is worn.
3b. Take both straps in your other hand. Hold the respirator
under your chin, with the nosepiece facing upwards and
pull the straps over your head.
Upper strap should
be positioned on the
crown of the head.
Strap should not be
twisted
Make sure the panels
are fully unfolded
Noseclip should be
moulded around nose
and cheeks to give a
good seal
Lower strap should
be positioned
below the ears.
Strap should not be
twisted
Respirator should be
correctly positioned on
your face and head
Disposable respirators are only effective when there is a good seal between the edges of the respirator and your face. If the seal is poor,
protection is compromised as contaminated air can leak in through any gaps.
3a.Cup the respirator in one hand with the open side towards
your face.
1. With the reverse side up and using the tab, separate the
top and bottom panels of the respirator to form a cup
shape. Bend slightly at the centre of the noseclip.
2. Ensure that both panels are fully unfolded.
6. Perform a fit-check by covering the front of the respirator
with both hands taking care not to disturb its fit.
If you’re using an unvalved respirator, exhale sharply.
If you’re using a valved respirator, inhale sharply.
If air leaks around the nose, readjust the noseclip to eliminate
leakage then repeat the fit check. If air leaks at the respirator
edges, work the straps back along the sides of the head to
eliminate leakage then repeat the fit check. If you cannot
achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter the hazardous area.
Consult your supervisor.
4. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head and
the lower strap below your ears. The straps must not be
twisted. Adjust the top and bottom panels for a comfortable
fit, ensuring that the panels and tab are not folded in.
5. Using both hands, mould the noseclip to the shape of the
nose to ensure a close fit and a good seal.
The respirator may not fit as well if you pinch the
noseclip using one hand. Use two hands.

Make sure that your face is clean shaven. Respirators should not
be worn with stubble, beards or other facial hair under the area
of the face seal as these can prevent a good seal to the face.
Make sure that long hair is tied back and jewellery is removed
so that it does not interfere with the seal to the face.
