* According to Technical Specifications for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) written by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and issued by UK Government, Disposable half mask respirators shall meet the following requirements [1]:

​

• Manufacturer must have quality management system in place such as evidence of compliance to ISO 9001 or BS EN 13485. 

• BS EN 149:2001+A1:2009 Respiratory protective devices - Filtering half masks to protect against particles - Requirements, testing, marking. OR Technical Specification to satisfy the requirements of Annex II of PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends FFP2 particulate filtering half masks (also called as respirators) to be used by healthcare workers to protect themselves, especially during aerosol generating procedures (AGPs). [2] 

Valved respirators are not appropriate for use as a means of source control since they do not prevent the release of exhaled respiratory particles from the wearer into the environment.[3]
