Standards and labels

• EN 14683:2019

  EN 14683 is a European standard for face masks. It includes requirements for mask design, testing, and labeling. Test results include things like filtration efficiency and breathability. The standard also includes requirements for packaging and labeling. The 2019 version updates the previous 2014 version.

  Test results

  Bacterial Filtration Type II

  The Bacterial Filtration result for Type II in the EN 14683:2019 standard specifies a minimum bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE). The standard requires that Type II medical face masks must achieve at least a 98% BFE, which means that they are capable of filtering out at least 98% of the bacteria present in the testing aerosol. This is crucial for ensuring a high level of protection against the transmission of bacteria through respiratory droplets.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
