accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confine
ment of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of
less toxic materials). When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, ap propriate respirators shall be used pursuant to the following require ments.

(4) Canisters having a special highefficiency filter for protection against radionuclides and other highly toxic particulates shall be labeled with a statement of the type and degree of protection afforded by the filter. The label shall be affixed to the neck end of, or to the gray stripe which is around and near the top of, the canis ter. The degree of protection shall be marked as the percent of penetration of the canister by a 0.3-micron-diameter dioctyl phthalate (DOP) smoke at a flow rate of 85 liters per minute.
(5) Each canister shall have a label warning that gas masks should be used only in atmospheres containing suffl-
dent xygen to support life (at least 16 percent by v lume), since gas mask canisters are only designed to neutral
ize or remove contaminants from the air.
(6) Each gas mask canister shall be
painted a distinctive color or combina tion of colors Indicated in Table 1-1.
All colon used shall be such that they are clearly identifiable by the user and dearly distinguishable from one an
