A full-face respirator is chosen for two reasons that a half mask cannot deliver: it protects the eyes, and the larger sealing surface achieves a higher level of protection. The facepiece is covered by EN 136, and as with a half mask the protection actually delivered depends on the filter fitted to it. The specification most often missed is the visor: coatings, and compatibility with corrective spectacles, decide whether the mask is usable in practice. Wearers who need glasses need an in-mask spectacle kit, not their own frames, which break the seal.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
