KN95 disposable face masks (sometimes called respirators) are commonly recommended by health authorities during pandemic or emergency situations. Face masks and respirators are subject to various regulatory standards around the world (see below). Those meeting KN95, N95 and FFP2 standards although not exactly the same can be expected to function very similar to one another.
The following are comparable performance standards:
