Particle filter mask

What is the danger

The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: as low as 84%). Furthermore, the mask may lack a nose clip, therefore it cannot be correctly adapted to the user's face. Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.

Requirements breached

The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation and with the relevant European standard EN 149.
