Description
Protective respiratory mask in white colour with pressed-in KN95 markings. It has flexible rubber bands for attaching behind the ears.
Risk

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 Regulation nor with the European standard EN 149.
