The following guide prepared by Baltic Masks' experts will help you purchase only certified safe PPE (Personal Protection Equipment), such as masks and respirators. That is your right to ask a supplier for the following documentation:
1. EU type-examination certificates Modules B and C;
2. Eurofins' laboratory certificate;
3. OEKO TEX certifications of all the materials that are in use in production, also Latex-free certification;
4. Test report.
The certificates must have original numbers or QR codes that can be easily checked on the internet for their originality. Moreover, the proofs have an expiration period. That is illegal to supply to hospitals or pharmacies expired medical devices. Sometimes shady suppliers are providing scans of the certificates or documents for a different model of a mask or just faked documents.

Being on the market for more than three years, Baltic Masks experts were constantly monitoring and testing masks and respirators from all over the World. For example, one Turkish masks producer was asked to provide documentation for children’s blue type IIR mask "Model X.” Still, the proof that he sent to a potential buyer was a scan of the certificate for his "Model Y" black color and adult size. There are cases when a Lithuanian wholesaler purchasing a pallet of FFP2 NR respirators from China or Vietnam supporting will all the documents. Then Baltic Masks' laboratory tests show that the test report that was provided by foreign producers has been faked, and respirators do not comply FFP2 standard of quality and can harm the health of a consumer.
