Overview
About Gas Mask Kit
This is the mask people mean when they ask for a gas mask or a nuclear mask. It is a full-face respirator certified to European standard EN 136, with two combination canisters certified to EN 14387 class ABEK2-P3: organic vapours, inorganic gases, acid gases, ammonia and particles, including radioactive dust.
What it does in a nuclear or chemical emergency is reduce what you breathe in and keep contamination out of your eyes while you get indoors or leave the area. What it does not do is stop radiation itself. Nothing worn on the body stops gamma rays; walls, distance and time do. Read the limits below before you buy.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Does not stop radiation. It only reduces inhaled radioactive particles and keeps them out of your eyes. Shelter, distance and time are what reduce radiation dose.
- Does not filter carbon monoxide and does not supply oxygen. It is not a house-fire escape device.
- Certified to European EN standards. It is not a NIOSH CBRN-approved system.
- Canister service life depends on the contaminant and concentration and cannot be judged by a user. Once unsealed, a canister begins to load from room air.
- Adult sizes only; will not seal over a beard. There is no equivalent protection for young children.

Questions
Is this a radiation mask?
There is no such thing as a mask that blocks radiation. This respirator filters radioactive dust so you do not breathe it in, and that is all any mask can do. Protection from radiation itself comes from getting inside a solid building, staying there, and following public health instructions.
Is it NIOSH CBRN approved?
No. It carries European certification: EN 136 for the mask and EN 14387 for the canisters. NIOSH CBRN approval is a separate North American standard for a specific mask-and-canister system. Both are legitimate; they are not the same claim, and we will not blur them.
Do I actually need one?
Most households do not. Power, water, food, light and N95s cover the emergencies that are likely. A full-face respirator is for people who have covered those and want protection for an unlikely but serious airborne hazard while they get to shelter.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
