Description
White respiratory protective face mask in a transparent plastic bag (1 piece) with packaging indicating only the KN95 standard; according to the printing on the mask itself, both standard KN95 GB2626-2006 and also EU standard EN 149:2001+A1:2009 are met
Risk
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.
