Full Face Mask

A full face mask is a facepiece which covers the eyes, nose, mouth and chin and provides adequate sealing of the face of the wearer of the respiratory protective device against the ambient atmosphere, when the skin is dry or moist, and even when the head is moved or when the wearer is speaking.

Reusable Fabric Mask/Barrier Mask

Barrier mask is intended to complement protective measures and for use by healthy people as a community mask. Wearing of barrier mask is restricted to half a day and constitutes a protective barrier against possible penetration of the virus from a nearby person. It is intended to reduce risk of general transmissions of the infectious agent in regular day to day life. This can contribute to the protection of a whole group. It harmonizes the minimum requirements applicable to devices that are alternative to respiratory protective masks and surgical masks.
