We carry out accredited tests of protective masks (FFP) in accordance with EN 149.
The scope of the accredited tests covers the whole of EN 149:2001+A1:2009:
– visual inspection,
– test of practical performance,
– test of total inward leakage,
– test of penetration of filter material (EN 149:2001+A1:2009),
– test of flammability,
– test of CO2 content of the inhalation air,
– test of strength of attachment of exhalation valve housing,
– test of breathing resistance,
– test of clogging (dolomite dust).
LOTRIČ Metrology is accredited by Slovenian Accreditation with accreditation number LP-099 in the field of testing (ISO/IEC 17025).
In addition to the produced masks, we are also testing materials intended for the manufacture of masks in the development phase.
These tests have a key role in conformity assessment of masks. On the basis of the tests carried out, the manufacturer (applicant) obtains test certificates from which he can establish the conformity of the finished product with the harmonised standards.
Test results are important because they show a lot about mask characteristics (materials, properties, markings, practical performance, etc.). Manufacturer therefore decide on the basis of objective evidence which material is suitable for the manufacture of masks from a safety and health point of view.
