SURGICAL FACEMASK types of masks are subject to different standards and regulations depending on the country or geographical area.
- SURGICAL FACEMASK
- SURGICAL FACEMASK Standard clasifications
These masks are tested in the direction of exhalation (from inside to outside). The tests take into account the efficiency of bacterial filtration. They must meet the following regional standards:
European standard EN 14683.
According to this standard there are three types of effectiveness:
Type 1 or BFE1 with a bacterial filtration efficiency of over 95%.
Surgical facemask is a loose fitting, disposable medical device
A surgical mask does two things:
- Prevents droplets of saliva or secretions from the upper respiratory tract when the wearer exhales. If worn by the caregiver, the surgical mask protects the patient and his or her environment (air, surfaces, equipment, surgical site). If worn by a contagious patient, it prevents the patient from contaminating his or her surroundings and environment.
- Protects the wearer from infection transmitted by “droplets” or from the risk of splashs of biological fluids. In the latter case, the surgical mask must have a waterproof layer. It can also be equipped with a visor to protect the eyes.
- Type1 with baterial filteration of over 95% are certified under tis category

Splash resistance
The unique feature of Type II R surgical masks is the liquid-repellent layer offering additional protection against particulate matter and infectious splashes. The greater protective efficiency of the masks adequately makes up for the higher breathing resistance (<49 Pa/cm2).
Disposable
In order for your Type II R mask to effectively protect you from the pollutants you should wear it for a maximum of four to five hours. Please do not share your 3-ply face mask with other people. If your mask becomes damaged or dirty, throw it away. Please follow the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) guidelines for correctly putting the mask on and off.
