double, or multi-purpose


Explanation:
Yoshimi, the answer lies in the "ABEK double respirator cartridge", where EN14387 is the specific standard. As can be seen from the photos, they come with double, or twin filters, thus being multi-purpose. I think that's what combination also means, as the two filters are to be used in combination, that is, together.

I can't understand Japanese, but logic tells me this if all other parts of your translation is correct, and that I'm sure of.
