| Definition: | Theoretical protection level of a respirator based on laboratory measured performance data. Calculated by dividing 100 by the maximum allowed Total Inward Leakage value as specified in the relevant Standard. For example: EN149 class FFP3 has a maximum allowed total inward leakage of 2%. 100 divided by 2 equals 50. Therefore the NPF of an FFP3 respirator is 50. |
