This document specifies the minimum functional and performance requirements, test methods, classification as well as marking for respiratory infection prevention devices (RIPDs). 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 general population.
