      What certifications does U-Mask Model 2.2 have?

      Please read the following about certifications.

      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.
