Flomask isn't certified either, by the way.
They did their testing according to the F3502/N95 standard (community masks and respirators are tested by the same method, though with very different bars for passing)
And the results are compatible with N95s.
This standard tests masks glued around the edges to a flat plate.
How it would do on a NIOSH panel of people we don't know, but again, there are multiple reports on social media of good subjective fit.
Again, I'd predict from the data, the design, the overhead elastic, the anecdotal reports of good fit, that this would test in the same range as an N95.
As they point out on their super-transparent webpage, there are no N95s for children. NIOSH doesn't certify children's masks. It is a workplace standard.
