Avon C50 Configurable CBRN Mask Wins CE Approval

24 October 2011:  Designed to give optimum CBRN respiratory protection and weapon manoeuvrability to both military and law enforcement teams, Avon Protection has announced that its C50 configurable mask has won C E approval – an essential product quality mark for meeting European marketing standards.

The C50 is suitable for either right or left handed responders by using a recessed blanking plug and special configuration tool for appropriate filter placement; this LH/RH option allows for filter configuration to aid unrestricted firing and makes it a versatile choice for its target markets.

The C50 CBRN mask has been developed by Avon Protection specifically for military and law enforcement communities requiring NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) or CE certification. CE approval will now enable Avon to target the many European military and police forces that mandate CE approval, following the mask’s current success with forces in North America, the Middle East and Asia.

The innovative design enables the user to function effectively in the operational area, whether it’s for battlefield CBRN protection, specialist law enforcement or counter terrorism operations. By mounting the appropriate filter, the C50 protects against a wide range of CBRN threats including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals (TICS), toxic industrial materials (TIMS), biological and radiological hazards, riot agents and nuclear environments.
