When you are looking at bulk orders, it helps to understand that N95, KN95, and FFP2 are often functional equivalents. Focus your due diligence on verifying the manufacturer's certification rather than getting lost in the regional naming conventions. ### Understanding Mask Standards It is common for facility managers and office administrators to feel confused by the alphabet soup of respirator standards. In reality, a protection level of N95 (US), KN95 (China), FFP2 (EU), and KF94 (Korea) all aim to provide a similar level of protection against non-oil based particles. They are essentially regional names for the same performance standard. ### What to Look For Instead of stressing over the name, focus on these three indicators of quality: * **Manufacturer Authentication:** Only source products from manufacturers with valid, verifiable certifications. A mask is only as good as the factory that produces it. * **Filtration Performance:** Look for a filter performance rating of at least 95 percent efficiency against aerosols. * **Inhalation Resistance:** Lower resistance often makes for a more comfortable mask during an eight-hour shift. If your team is wearing these all day, check this specific metric. ### Our Approach to PPE At Suraksita, we believe in practical safety.
