FM12 

s probably the widely used respirator across the world by military and law enforcement organisations. Providing high levels of respiratory protection against both classical chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial materials, the FM12 has now gained CE and NIOSH CBRN certification, an endorsement demonstrating that it meets state of the art requirements for first responders.

The FM12 was originally developed for classical military NBC operations and is the standard issue respirator in a variety of countries, including Holland, Ireland and Denmark. However in today’s changing world, the increasing threat of terrorist attacks has lead to law enforcement and civil defence agencies requiring CBRN respiratory protection. Due to its pedigree, ease of use and high protection levels; the FM12 now also finds itself as an essential part of the armour of a variety of agencies, including the British Police force, Singapore Police and Chicago Police Department.
