This Standard sets out the principles of respiratory protection, requirements and recommendations for the selection, use and maintenance of personal respiratory protective equipment (RPE) in the workplace.This Standard does not deal with military applications for RPE, but includes special needs of personnel involved in a special response hazardous material (HAZMAT) incident where respiratory concerns need to be addressed.This Standard does not deal with the special circumstances associated with the use of RPE in diving and underwater breathing (see AS/NZS 2299 and AS 2815), the use of RPE in aircraft, or the use of life support respirators for medical or resuscitation purposes (see AS 2488).
