The product bears a CE marking but its filtering capacity has not been tested by a relevant competent European conformity assessment body. Additionally, the particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: as low as 39%), the total filtration capacity of the mask is insufficient (measured mean values: as low as 75%). Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.
The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation and with the relevant European standard EN 149.
