What's the difference between KN95 and N95 mask?

As a manufacturer of KN95 mask, we are usually asked the difference between KN95 and N95 mask.


N95 is the certification level for respirators in the United States, certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This type of mask can filter out more than 95% of non-oily particulate matter (aerosol) under the specified airflow (85L/min), so it is named N95. And if it can filter more than 99% of particulate matter (aerosol), it is called an N99 mask.


In addition, corresponding to N95, KN95 is a mask certified by China's GB2626-2006 respiratory protection equipment self-priming filter type anti-particulate respirator standard.


The protection level of KN95 and N95 masks is the same, but only they follow the test standards of different countries. The KN95 mask follows the Chinese standard, and the N95 mask follows the American standard. The protection efficiency of both of them against non-oily particles (sodium chloride particles used in experiments) is not less than 95%.
