** High (200 mg) filter loading in the certification test is intended to address the potential for filter efficiency degradation by solid or water-based (i.e., non-oil) aerosols in the workplace. Accordingly, there is no recommended service time limit in most workplace settings. However, in dirty workplaces (high aerosol concentrations) service time should only be extended beyond 8 hours of use (continuous or intermittent) by performing an evaluation in specific workplace settings that demonstrates (a) that extended use will not degrade the filter efficiency below the certified efficiency level, or (b) that the total mass loading of the filter is less than 200 mg (100 mg per filter for dual-filter respirators).
*** No specific service time when oils are not present. In the presence of oil aerosols, service time may be extended beyond 8 hours of use (continuous or intermittent) by demonstrating (a) that extended use will not degrade the filter efficiency below the certified efficiency level, or (b) that the total mass loading of the filter is less than 200 mg (100 mg per filter for dual-filter respirators).

Coal Mine Dust Personal Sampler Units (CMDPSU):
A coal mine dust personal sampler unit (CMDPSU) consists of a pump, charger, and a sampling head with a 10 mm nylon cyclone and a preweighed sealed filter cassette. It is used - as a unit - for collecting the mandatory coal mine atmosphere samples as required under Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The sampling requirements are detailed in Title 30, Part 70 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
All certified CMDPSU's must have prior approval by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, to meet the 2G-2239 electrical permissibility requirements. The performance of the CMDPSU's is certified by NIOSH under Title 30, Part 74 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
