What does FFP3 stand for?
FFP3 is the highest FFP (Filtering Face Piece) filtering class in the EU and, according to the classification, offers at least 99% protection against toxic substances as well as droplet aerosols, carcinogenic or radioactive substances, enzymes, microorganisms; against harmful substances whose concentration is up to 30 times the maximum workplace concentration.
What do the acronyms V, NR, R & D mean?
The suffix V means that there is an additional exhalation valve. This makes the mask more suitable for longer periods of wear. However, the exhaled air is not filtered!
NR is the abbreviation for Not Reusable. Such masks are intended for single use.
Respirators with the suffix R, for Resusable, may be used several times. The requirements for this (disinfection, care, etc.) can be found in the manufacturer’s manual.
The suffix D stands for dolomite dust test. If present, the mask has passed the so-called dolomite dust test. This involves exposing the mask to a specified concentration of dolomite dust in the air and then measuring the breathing resistance and filter passage of the half mask.

Easy to use and very good at the job they are made fo
I have bought several boxes of these masks over the last few year as they are comfortable and effective for building work and for personal protection. As many have reported the elastic is the weakness. The glue typically breaks within a couple of hours of use. This never happened with the first boxes I used but is so common now that I always apply a drop of superglue to the glue joint before use. That fixes the problem but it shouldn’t happen in the first place – please note Oxyline!
Evidence on the effectiveness of masks for viruses is mixed. A Cochrane review showed that surgical and FFP2/N95 masks made little difference. Yet a study at Addenbrookes Hospital showed that FFP3 is effective at reducing virus transmission between 52 -100% Hence FFP3 can probably be taken as the minimum filtration standard to provide some personal protection against viruses.
I can’t wear masks that have loops behind the ears. They all cut into me and are agony to wear. These are great. I can breathe easily and I can wear these masks for hours if I have to.
Better than most other others. A better fit that reduces ‘fogging’ up. I found it quite tight and a better solution for me is to use only one rubber head attachment.
Pro’s, good fit, didn’t fog glasses, good protection for self.
Con’s, no Covid protection for others, difficult to wear glasses due to the bulky nose lip, don’t easily fit into pockets.
A little difficult to put on until you get the method correct. Surprisingly comfortable. Needs to be correctly fitted to your face I still find my glasses steaming up but nowhere near as much as other masks
Bought because they weren’t an extortionate price and were PPPF3. They’re good quality, the inner filter on one of the masks was a little un-stuck but easily stuck down again – probably worth checking that all the filters are stuck down before putting one on.
However: stars docked for the rubbish elastic straps. Nothing wrong with the elastic itself but I’ve used five of these so far and the elastic on EVERY one has snapped after just a couple of hours or less. A quick reef knot fixed the problem but really: do better!
