NATO Type 1 Filter
NATO Type 1 / CBRN GAS FILTER NATO Type 1 Filter
NATO Type 1 Filter is a composite CBRN filtration solution developed for collective-protection systems exposed to toxic industrial chemicals and known chemical and biological warfare agents. Its dual-stage architecture combines HEPA particulate filtration with activated-carbon gas adsorption for enclosed military environments.
Dual-stage HEPA and activated-carbon filtration for military collective-protection systems.
Composite Filtration for Military Collective Protection
The NATO Type 1 Filter combines particulate and gas filtration within a single composite structure for enclosed operational spaces exposed to CBRN hazards. The supplied product information identifies toxic industrial chemicals and known chemical and biological warfare agents among the threats addressed by the system.
The filtration architecture uses a HEPA particulate stage together with an activated-carbon gas stage, separating particulate removal from toxic-agent adsorption.
CBRN Filtration for Vehicles, Shelters and Enclosed Military Installations
NATO Type 1 Filter is intended for military vehicles, shelters and collective-protection systems requiring continuous CBRN filtration. Supplied deployment examples include armored platforms, command shelters, field hospitals and other enclosed military installations.
For operations outside active CBRN threat conditions, the source describes a dedicated peace filter option intended to extend the operational lifetime of the gas-filtration stage.

Source Airflow Description and Technical Table Value
The narrative product description states that the composite design supports an airflow rate of 200 m³/h. Separately, the supplied technical data table specifies an Air Flow Rate of 170 m³/h.
Both figures are retained in their respective source contexts rather than being merged or recalculated; the technical-data block below preserves the table value exactly.
NATO Type 1 Functional Features
HEPA Particulate Stage
The primary product description states that the HEPA stage removes particulate contaminants larger than 0.3 microns.
Activated-Carbon Gas Stage
The activated-carbon stage is used for adsorption of toxic chemical agents.
Composite Construction
Particulate filtration and gas adsorption are integrated within a double-stage filter structure.
Peace Filter Option
A dedicated peace filter can be used during non-threat operation to extend gas-filter service life.
TNO Laboratory Approval
The supplied information states that the filter has been tested and approved by the TNO laboratory.
Collective Protection Use
The system is intended for enclosed military collective-protection applications.

Operational Applications
Continuous Particulate Filtration and Gas Adsorption
NATO Type 1 Filter continuously processes incoming air through its particulate and gas-filtration stages in collective-protection systems. The HEPA stage addresses particulate contamination while activated carbon provides adsorption of toxic chemical agents.
The optional peace-filter concept supports non-threat operation without unnecessarily consuming the main gas-filtration stage.
NATO and Military Environmental References
The supplied product information states that NATO Type 1 Filter is designed and tested according to the following standards and describes certification to these references.
