Type I, and Type I R face masks have a BFE (bacterial filtration efficiency) of 95%, whereas Type II and Type II R face masks have a BFE of 98%. Masks complying with this technical specification cannot be referred to as Type IIR medical masks, as that term is defined in EN 14683:2019 and is reserved for products meeting the definition of a medical device that also complies wholly with the requirements for Type IIR medical masks in that standard. The UK government is attempting to keep up with a surge in cases of the coronavirus, and has therefore introduced new face mask rules from today, January 4.

Cases of the virus are high and the government hopes that masks will help stop the spread in indoor places in the country, with pupils in schools now having to wear them. The transparent face masks, which are the subject of this specification, are intended to be used in place of the medical masks referred to by the WHO above.Where the term ‘medical mask’ is used in this specification it is used on the basis of the term used by the World Health Organization (WHO) and EN 14683:2019, but it is recognised that the term ‘fluid resistant surgical mask’ (FRSM) is also in common use. TSL Healthcare’s site in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan is primarily used for the production of feminine hygiene products. Type IIR Face masks include a splash resistant layer to protect against blood and other bodily fluids. In indoor settings where a face covering is not legally required, you should still continue to wear a face-covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet.
