What certifications does U-Mask Model 2.2 have?Updated a year ago

U-Mask Model 2.2 complies with EN 14683, the only standard that takes into account the Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE).

 

This standard provides for compliance requirements including:

  • BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency)

  • Breathability

  • Splash test (resistance to splashes)

  • Bioburden (microbial cleaning)

  • Biocompatibility

     

U-Mask Model 2.2 was subjected to further voluntary tests, such as:

  • The BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) test, from outside to inside
  • The PFE (Particle Filtration Efficiency) test
  • Toxicological risk assessment of Biolayer
  • Determination of the antibacterial activity of textile products (performed on Biolayer)
    (EN ISO 20743)
  • Determination of the antiviral activity of textile products (performed on Biolayer)
    (ISO 18184:2019)
  • Determination of the antibacterial activity of textile products (performed on Biolayer after accelerated aging) (EN ISO 20743)
  • Splash test after 200 h in-vivo
  • BFE after 200 h in-vivo 
  • Breathability after 200 h in-vivo

U-Mask Model 2.2 is subject to a continuous improvement process thanks to voluntary tests and constant research and development.

 

From February 2021, the U-Mask Model 2.2 quality control system ensures the verification of each production batch via the BFE test and an authenticity seal on each product placed on sale.
