What are the Regulatory Standards for Particulate Respirators?
Particulate respirators must meet specific regulatory standards to ensure their effectiveness. In the United States, NIOSH sets the certification standards for these devices. The European Union has its own standards, denoted by FFP ratings, such as FFP1, FFP2, and FFP3, based on the respirator's filtration efficiency. Compliance with these standards ensures that the respirators provide adequate protection in the workplace.
