Summary/Abstract: This article presents proposals for expanding and changing the scope of testing of respiratory protective devices parameters having a direct impact on its ergonomics of use. Practical performance tests, breathing resistance, carbon dioxide content in inhaled air and reductions of field of vision were included. It was proposed to introduce a new parameter – work of breathing, which has a direct impact on the categorization of equipment into classes related to the severity of work, to which a given type of equipment is dedicated. A checklist was also proposed to allow current users of respiratory protective devices to verify the basic elements affecting the comfort of use of such devices.
