What is a P2 Rating?

• P2 is a respiratory filter rating under the AS/NZS1716 standards for use in Australia and New Zealand. Protects against mechanically and thermally generated particles.
• Filtration rate: Filters at least 94% of airborne particles
• Suitable for: Relatively small particles generated by mechanical processes eg. grinding, cutting, sanding, drilling & sawing
  Sub-micron thermally generated particles e.g. metal & welding fumes, fertilizer and bushfire smoke, diesel exhaust & smoke and acid gases
  Biologically active airborne particles under specified infection control applications e.g. viruses, bacteria, COVID-19, SARS, bioaerosols & fungus
• Often distinguished with blue head straps

What is the function of valves on disposable respirators?

• P1 and P2 respirators are available with a valve, either on the front or side.
• The purpose of respirator valves is to make exhaling (i.e. breathing out) easier, and reducing fogging to glasses and other eye/face protective devices causes by warm breath releasing from the sides of respirator. These valves are one way, allowing air to escape only when exhaling.
• This valve does not increase or reduce the filtration rating of a respirator. For example, a P2 mask with a valve does not offer higher protection than a P2 mask without a valve.
