The specification requires the following tests which we perform at our Kinectrics ISO 17025 accredited labs:
| Specification | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Particulate Filtration Efficiency | ≥ 95% | ≥ 98% | ≥ 98% |
| Differential Pressure | <5.0mmH2O/cm² | <6.0mmH2O/cm² | <6.0mmH2O/cm² |
| Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood (min. pressure for pass) | 80 mm Hg | 120 mm Hg | 160 mm Hg |
| Flame Spread | Class 1 | Class 1 | Class 1 |
