What are standards and certifications for?

European standards and certifications guarantee the effectiveness and quality of the masks placed on the market. They verify compliance with established requirements and allow you to buy with complete confidence.

The EN 149:2001 + A1:2009 standard certifies the mask; Regulation (EU) 2016/425 governs its placing on the market as personal protective equipment. Both are harmonised across all European Union countries.

Our masks are certified by a notified laboratory and continuously tested in our factory using an automatic test station.

The EN 149:2001 + A1:2009 standard

This standard sets the minimum characteristics of filtering half masks and the test methods used to verify them, including:

• visual inspection and packaging;
• materials used and surface finish of the parts in contact with the face;
• skin compatibility;
• practical performance tests under realistic conditions;
• total inward leakage, below 8% for an FFP2, measured on 9 samples per aerosol;
• filter penetration (paraffin oil test at 95 l/min: 6% maximum);
• breathing resistance and flammability;
• content of the manufacturer’s information leaflet.

Regulation (EU) 2016/425

FFP2 masks are personal protective equipment (PPE): they must meet the essential health and safety requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425. In particular, the manufacturer must:

• affix the CE marking to the masks;
• make the EU declaration of conformity available;
• ensure traceability: identification number, manufacturer’s name or brand, postal address on the mask or packaging;
• provide clear and legible instructions for use.
