The NOS article clearly mentioned FFP2 rating in the second paragraph (from Google Translate): "This concerns almost half of a batch of 1.3 million so-called FFP2 masks, 600,000 pieces. "

Am I missing something?



>"This concerns almost half of a batch of 1.3 million so-called FFP2 masks, 600,000 pieces. "

That's a quote by the newspaper, not the government agency. Also like I mentioned earlier, it's understandable to call them "FFP2" masks since the average european reader might not have a point of reference for what (K)N95 is.


It really boggles one's mind that a mask would be referred as FFP2 repeatedly and somehow be tested under KN95 that only existed in China* and was only recently approved in the Netherlands.

But it's all just speculation at this point without more information from the health minister.

* Granted it doesn't differ from the American standard by far.
