This is a Highly sought after filter for NBC/CBRN/Riot protection, the 3M FR-57 40mm NATO Multi-Gas filter can be used with PAPR’s Powered Air Purifying Respirators & standard 40m threaded gas masks. The FR57 filter [3M p/n RBE-57] is NIOSH Approved with the FRM40-20 Protective Mask. USA NIOSH Approval # TC-23C-2071. BRAND NEW / Vacuum Sealed in Heavy Mil-Spec Foil when kept sealed will keep filter fresh for a minimum of 5 years, however industry experts agree that while protected from moisture/air, these NBC filters should remain effective for 10-15 years or more. For that reason, rather than marking the FR57 filter with an expiration date, 3M Protection in cooperation with the US Military (shelf-life extension program) list a test/inspect date instead of an expiration date. At that point, the filter can be inspected to confirm integrity of the packaging and/or conduct testing, etc. & then extend the shelf life for an additional 5 or 10 years. Made in 11/2016, these filters are printed with a exp date of 11/2021 & typically have the shelf life extended to 2031 or longer if the testing/inspection determines that the vacuum seal remains perfect/intact, etc. Paul, MN – Made In USA.
