The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured value: as low as 82 %). Consequently, an excessive amount of particles or microorganisms might pass through the mask; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect. The product does not comply with the PPE Regulation and the relevant European standard EN 149.
