Risk Description

The product bears a CE marking but is not certified as protective equipment by a relevant body. Consequently, the product might not fulfil the health and safety requirements and thus not properly protect if not combined with additional measures. Also, the labeling is confusing because on the cardboard box the mask is declared a “non-medical” one , while in the same time is mentioned the standard EN 14683: 2019. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation and with the relevant European standard EN 149.
