What is the difference between KN95 and N95 ?
● N95 mask refers to a mask certified by the NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) of the United States that has a non-oily particulate matter protection efficiency of not less than 95%; KN95 mask refers to a Chinese national standard "GB2626-2006-Respiratory Protective Products—Simple A non-oily particulate respirator with a suction-filter type anti-particulate respirator protection efficiency of not less than 95%.

● N95 or KN95 masks are not the names of specific brands or products, but represent the protection level of masks. Among them, "N" or "KN" means protection for non-oily particles (such as viruses, bacteria, dust, etc.); "95" means that the filtering efficiency of the mask is greater than or equal to 95% under the standard detection conditions. No matter it is the Chinese national standard or the American NIOSH test standard, in terms of product classification and filtration efficiency, the protection levels of N95 and KN95 are equivalent.

● In addition, the N95 and KN95 protection levels are equivalent to the FFP2 masks that meet the European EN149 standard certification, that is, the filtering efficiency of the masks is greater than or equal to 94% under the detection conditions specified by the European standard. Masks that have passed the European standard EN149 certification and have reached the FFP2 level.
