NPPTL COVID-19 Response: International Respirator Assessment 

Manufacturer: Zhangjiagang Meijie Commodity Co., Ltd 

Model Tested: MJ-N02A 

Date Tested: April 21, 2020 

These findings pertain to the Zhangjiagang Meijie Commodity Co., Ltd., model MJ-N02A (Particulate 

Respirator). The labeling for this product indicates that it meets GB2626-2006 (the Chinese standard 

for Respiratory Protective Equipment – Non-Powered Air-Purifying Particle Respirator). 

Ten respirators were submitted for evaluation. The samples were tested using a modified version of 

NIOSH Standard Test Procedure (STP) TEB-APR-STP-0059. This modified assessment plan can be found 

here. 

A certificate of testing was provided with the samples received; however, the authenticity of the claims 

could not be validated. 

The maximum and minimum filter efficiency was 99.47% and 98.55%, respectively. All ten respirators 

measured more than 95%. 

While the above-listed product classification has similar performance requirements to NIOSH-approved 

devices, NIOSH does not have knowledge about the sustained manufacturer quality system and 

product quality control for these products. NIOSH also does not have knowledge about the product’s 

handling and exposures after leaving its manufacturer’s control.

In addition, this product is an ear loop design. Currently, there are no NIOSH-approved products with 

ear loops; NIOSH-approved N95s have head bands. Furthermore, limited assessment of ear loop 

designs, indicate difficulty achieving a proper fit. While filter efficiency shows how well the filter media 

performs, users must ensure a proper fit is achieved. 

This assessment is not a part of the NIOSH respirator approval process and will in no way lead to or 

preclude NIOSH approval through the official approval process. This assessment was developed as an 

assessment of the filter efficiency for those respirator’s represented as certified by an international 

certification authority, other than NIOSH, to support the availability of respiratory protection to US 

healthcare workers due to the respirator shortage associated with COVID-19. Only particulate filter 

efficiency was assessed. 

The results provided in this letter are specific to the subset of samples that were provided to NPPTL for 

evaluation. 

These results will be used to update the CDC guidance for Crisis Capacity Strategies (during known

shortages).

• The test method utilized in this assessment is not the NIOSH standard test procedure that is used for certification of

respirators. Respirators assessed to this modified test plan do not meet the requirements of STP-0059, and therefore

cannot be considered equivalent to N95 respirators that were tested to STP-0059.

• Respirators tested may not be representative of all respirators with the same certification mark. NIOSH has no control

over suppliers and distributors of respirators certified by other national or international parties.

• This assessment is not a confirmation that it conforms with any or all of its specifications in accordance with its

certification mark.

• This assessment was not a part of the NIOSH approval program. These results do not imply nor preclude a future

approval through the NIOSH respirator approval program.
