3M RESPIRATOR INFORMATION

Inside Pandemic, there has lots of questions on 3M respirator (face mask) from domestic and oversea customers, we- DatVietCo- 3M Authorized distributor would like to brief basic info as below:

3M doesn’t have respirator factory in Vietnam up to now

For Quality 3M respirator, it has all of information on front face of respirator including what’s Standard:
For N95 standard from USA, have to mark clearly: NIOSH N95
For P1 type (80% filtration efficiency), or P2 (94% filtration efficiency) from Australia/New Zealand standard, have to mark clearly AS/NZS P1 or AS/NZS P2
For FFP2 type (94%) from Euro standard, have to mark clearly: EN FFP2
This is obligation followed by international standard for all of qualify manufacturers on industrial respirator. End user should take care if using face mask (respirator) without these marking or non-marking face mask

Especially for N95 respirator:
All kind of NIOSH N95 respirators are head-band type (not ear-band)

Having letter of “TC-xx-xxx” on the mask. This letter can be searched on Google easily to check the correct manufacturer which qualified by NIOSH or OSHA from US.

Without this TC-xx-xxx letter, or you can not search any information on this, there may not be N95 respirator, just fake Niosh N95 product

3M respirator can not be washed by water for re-usable purpose due to in-effective for electro-static layer filter inside the respirator after washing
