RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Honeywell North® Primair® Series PA900 Series Headgear
The Honeywell North® Primair® 900 Series is a headgear assembly designed for use with the Honeywell North®
Primair® 700 Series Belt-Mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR). These respirators are ideally suited for
applications where non-powered air-purifying respirators are not practical or the higher protection factor of a hood
is required, yet where the atmospheres are not immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
Used in conjunction with the Honeywell North® PA700 Series blower battery assembly with filter/cartridges (PAPR),
the Primair® PA900 Series provides clean air and respiratory protection against most gases, and vapors, as per
configuration selection, for extended periods of time.
Protection Type
This respirator is ideally suited for applications in which non-powered air purifying respirators are not practical or in
which a higher protection factor is required, yet where the atmosphere is not IDLH and where there is an oxygen
content of at least 19.5%. When used together with Honeywell North PA700 PAPR, the Honeywell North Primair
PA900 Series Headpieces provides respiratory protection against most dusts, fumes, mists, particulate radio-nuclides
and radon progeny attached to dusts, fumes and mists.
Certifications
The Honeywell North Primair PA900 Series Headpieces meets the requirements of NIOSH CFR 84 when assembled
from components listed on the NIOSH approval label included with the product. For detailed information on
these systems, see the user manuals for those products. Refer to the NIOSH approval labels provided with the
Honeywell North Primair PA900 Series Headpieces for specific NIOSH approval numbers.
PA900 Assemblies
The PA900 Series headgear solution offers advanced ergonomics, supreme fit and materials, and the highest of
protection levels on the market. The PA900 Series is lightweight, easy to don and doff, easy to use /maintain, and
adapted with accessories applicable to the applications at hand (i.e. shrouds for chemicals).
Assigned Protection Factors
The Honeywell North Primair PA900 Series Headpieces combined with the PA700 Series PAPR is for protection from
particulates where (i) the concentration does not exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) as determined by the
Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of the headpiece, (ii) the concentration is below the contaminant’s IDLH level, and
(iii) there is sufficient oxygen in the work environment per the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR Section 1910.134 or CSA
Standard Z94.4 requirements.
All Honeywell North Primair PA900 Series Headpieces have the below Assigned Protection Factors:

PA923

APF 1,000 with PA700 PAPR
Note: Because of the positive pressure created by the flow of air, PAPRs have a higher protection factor. The respirator manufacturer must have evidence that testing of these respirators demonstrates performance at a
level of protection of 1,000 or greater to receive an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000. This level of performance can best be demonstrated by performing a Workplace Protection Factor (WPF) or Simulated
Workplace Protection Factor (SWPF) study or equivalent testing. If such testing is absent, helmets/hoods are to be treated as loose-fitting facepiece respirators, and should receive an APF of 25.
