N95 AND P2RESPIRATORS – THE DIFFERENCE

The Difference between the N95 and the P2 classification for Respirator face masks is the N95 is the NiOSH (USA testing requirements.) and the P2 represents the EC (European testing requirements). In practice these differences have resulted in no impact on the level of protection to the wearer.

P2 masks aren’t just effective against limiting the inhaling of smoke and dust particles, it turns out they’re great for contagious airborne diseases.

“P2 masks are likely to provide some protection against the virus, but these must be fitted and worn properly,” the NSW health department recommends on its site.
