Every JSP product is manufactured to conform to appropriate European, US and International performance specifications with testing carried out in our extensive BS EN IS09002 registered test laboratories. Our technical helpline and website provide a wealth of experience and information to help end users choose how to protect themselves against different applications. The new patented Filterspec which has won the 2011 Frost and Sullivan North America Product Innovation Award is such a case. Not only was it logical to integrate eye and respiratory protection into one harmonised unit, but also to enable protection in extreme environments. At -40 degrees Celsius, moisture emitting onto eyewear freezes immediately so a solution to eliminate mask leakage was needed. Filterspecโs integrated approach also enables a much improved face fit. This assists companies that must face fit test their employees with respiratory protective equipment as required now by the Health and Safety Executive.
