Table below is the overall requirements for US ASTM F2100 & Europe EN 14683 and this package will perform Differential Pressure (Breathability) according to the selected market
Table 1 Medical Face Mask Material Requirements by Performance Level
Characteristics | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3Barrier |
Bacterial filtration efficiency [%] | ≥ 95 | ≥98 | ≥98 |
Differential pressure [mm H2o/cm2 ] | <5.0 | <6.0 | <6.0 |
Sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency at 0.1 micron [%] | ≥ 95 | ≥ 98 | ≥ 98 |
Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood, minimum pressure in mm Hg for pass result# | 80 | 120 | 160 |
Flame spread | Class 1 | Class 1 | Class 1 |
*-An acceptable quality limit of 4.0% is met for a single sampling plan when 29 or more of the 32 tested specimens show “pass” result.
Table 1 Performance requirements for medical face masks
Characteristics | Type I | Type II | Type IIR |
Bacterial filtration efficiency [%] | ≥ 95 | ≥98 | ≥98 |
Differential pressure [Pa/cm2] | <40 | <40 | <60 |
Splash resistance [kPa]# | Not Required | Not Required | Not Required |
Microbial cleanliness (cfu/g) | ≤30 | ≤30 | ≤30 |
*Type I medical face masks should only be used for patients and other persons to reduce the risk of spreading infections particularly in epidemic or pandemic situations. Type I masks are not intended for use by healthcare professionals in an operating room or in other medical settings with similar requirements.
#-An acceptable quality limit of 4.0% is met for a single sampling plan when 29 or more of the 32 tested specimens show “pass” results.

Surgical masks meeting ASTM Level 2 or Level 3 will be able to filter ≥98% bacteria and 0.1μm particulates, while ASTM Level 1 can only filter ≥95% bacteria。
EN14683 Type I and Type II can filter ≥95% and ≥98% bacteria, Type I has a higher breathability than Type II, both are non-resistant to fluid. Type IR has the same bacteria filtration efficiency as Type I, just as Type IIR and Type II, but Type IR are resistant to fluid.
“FDA approved” means that the agency has determined that the “benefits of the product outweigh the known risks for the intended use.” Manufacturers must submit a premarket approval (PMA) application and the results of clinical testing to get an approval. FDA approval is usually mandatory when you market or sell the products in the US that might have a significant risk of injury or illness, but can also benefit your health — such as prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vaccines and Class III medical devices.
Class II and Class I medical devices are usually “cleared” by the FDA – meaning the manufacturer can demonstrate that their product is “substantially equivalent to another (similar) legally marketed device” that already has an FDA clearance or approval. Companies must submit a “premarket notification submission” or 510(k) to the FDA so that they can review the product and clear it. Once the FDA declares that a new medical device is substantially equivalent to a predicate, it is “cleared,” and can be marketed and sold in the US.
Since the surgical mask is classified as class I medical device, the company has to submit premarket notification 510(k) before they can be sold in the US market.
