From public transport to intensive care units, personal protective equipment (PPE) has never been more important. Protecting people from virus is the number one priority for individuals, businesses, organizations and governments. Face masks are now compulsory in many settings.
SGS can offer testing and certification services to verify your product’s Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) and compliance with those regulations relevant to the US market.
*No requirement of Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) under EU market *

Table below is the overall requirement for ASTM F2100 and for this package, Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) will be performed
ASTM F2100 Classification
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.
Only applicable test items will be conducted on selected product nature and destination market. A detailed test item list will be included in order confirmation email upon order purchase.

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.
According to the harmonized test standard, the particle size 0.3 μm is mainly used in the PFE test for respirator using NaCl aerosol. While particle size 0.1 μm is used in the PFE test for surgical mask using latex spheres. We must be careful when interpreting this claim on the product to see if the correct standard is used.
