It is an FFP3/DPI mask, is it certified?
The Narvalo Urban Mask is FFP3 PPE certified. We use premium products from the BLS range, a Milanese boutique company that has been a leader in the production of PPE for 50 years, the product in question has been specifically revisited and improved for Narvalo. You can find the tests carried out and the certification in the certifications section
How are Narvalo masks tested?
The NARVALO URBAN MASK masks were designed with BLS and tested in the BLS and ITALCERT laboratories, obtaining values higher than a standard FFP3. As described on the certifications page, filtration and respiratory resistance tests and a specific test (called fit-test) were performed to validate the seal on the face (FIT FACTOR >100 for an FFP3).
To date we are the only FFP3 PPE certified mask available for the consumer market according to the EN 149:2001+A1:2009 regulation.
As regards the life of the filter, it has been estimated that each single filter, in optimal storage conditions and in normal use, guarantees protection for 30 days
How long do filters last?
Narvalo Urban filters can be reusable several times thanks to the FFP3-R certification. In conditions of normal urban use, we recommend replace them within 30 days of first use.
The 90 hour indication that we provide on the Narvalo App is an example for average urban use
Is the Narvalo Urban Mask reusable?
Certainly! You can wash or change the cover as many times as you like.
Can I use it with glasses?
Certain! Although it depends a lot on the shape and size of your face, many of our user tests have not found any problems in this regard. However, we recommend that you do not insert your glasses inside the filter, to maintain maximum protection.
Can I use it with a helmet?
Certainly! In the specific user test we conducted before launching them on the market, users encountered no difficulties in this regard. Our mask is suitable for all bike helmets and particularly effective for jet-type or open or flip-up motorcycle helmets. For insertion into full-face helmets it depends on the model.
Is it suitable for children?
The Narvalo Urban Mask has basic dimensions more suitable for an adult. From tests carried out, use is comfortable even for teenagers. However, we are preparing for a small solution designed directly for a female audience and for teenagers, and we would like to be able to satisfy the requests of the little ones too, stay tuned!
How to wash the Narvalo Urban Mask and all its components?
We recommend washing the product once a month or when deemed necessary during the filter replacement phase. Both the valve and the bayonet can be washed with cold water with a non-aggressive detergent or a low concentration alcoholic solution.
The mask and its bands can be washed by hand with the same products. For all parts we recommend natural drying, carefully checking that all the pieces are perfectly dry before reassembling the mask. To clean the "internal sponge", use a disinfectant of the type normally available on the market, to be passed delicately over the sealing edge of the facepiece.
Do not touch or clean the white filter part. Do not immerse the filter in any liquid.
