Respiratory infection prevention devices for self- and third-party protection - Part 3: Sustainability, human factors and rationales
Abstract
This document provides guidance on sustainability and human factors in regard of respiratory infection prevention devices (RIPDs). In addition it provides some rationales for the requirements which are given in EN 18178-1. RIPDs are intended to reduce the emission of infective agents from the user's airways into the environment and also reduce exposure to the user from inhalation of infective agents. RIPDs are intended for use by the population.
