ASTM Test Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
F2101 *BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) ≥ 95% ≥ 98% ≥ 98%
F2299 **PFE (Particulate Filtration Efficiency) ≥ 95% ≥ 98% ≥ 98%
MIL-M-36954C Delta P (Breathability) < 4.0 H2O/cm2 < 5.0 H2O/cm2 < 5.0 H2O/cm2
F1862 Fluid Resistance to Syntetic Blood 80mm Hg 120mm Hg 160mm Hg
16 CFR PARTE 1610 Flame Spread Class 1 Class 1 Class 1


  • Level 1 – For procedures producing low amounts of fluid, spray and/or aersols.
  • Level 2 - For procedures producing light to moderate amounts of fluid, spray and/or aerosols.
  • Level 3 - For procedures producing moderate to heavy amounts of fluid, spray and/or aerosols.

* To perform BFE is used a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus aureus.
** To perform PFE are used 0.1 micron particles (for ASTM F2100) being representative for virus. Other conditions: 0.3,0.5 or 1.0 micron.
