ARCHALAB Srl, the new name of the analysis laboratory of the ARCHA group, has obtained accreditation for several tests required by UNI EN 149:2009 for respiratory PPE masks (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3, depending on the level of protection).
To ensure safe protection and high-quality production, we provide both a laboratory equipped with instruments compliant with the standard and the technical expertise of our staff.
We have obtained ACCREDITATION for the following tests (with more to follow):
Penetration of filter material (PFE) with Sodium Chloride
UNI EN 149:2009 § 8.11 + UNI EN 13274-7:2019 (excluding § 6)
Penetration of filter material (PFE) with Paraffin Oil

Our commitment to continuous updating serves the entire supply chain:

for notified bodies, to offer reliable, accredited test results
In short, ARCHALAB works to ensure that when you select an FFP mask, you are choosing a device whose performance is verified and documented according to recognised standards.
