This document specifies construction, design, performance requirements and test methods for medical
face masks intended to limit the transmission of infective agents from staff to patients during surgical
procedures and other medical settings with similar requirements. A medical face mask with an
appropriate microbial barrier can also be effective in reducing the emission of infective agents from the
nose and mouth of an asymptomatic carrier or a patient with clinical symptoms.
This document is not applicable to face masks intended exclusively for the personal protection of staff.
Compliance with this standard does not demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the relevant
PPE regulations.
