Narrative:
On ILS prm (precision runway monitor) approach ord 10C (autopilot and autothrust required); assigned 170 KIAS to FAF (final approach fix). I called 'flaps 3' below 175 KIAS to maintain 170. Just prior to the FAF; the aircraft encountered either wake turbulence from the proceeding aircraft or some other form of unstable air. The airspeed quickly rose above the flaps 3 limit of the aircraft. During our debrief; the captain and I thought it was about 10 knots above the limit for 2 to 3 seconds. I called for the landing gear to help manage the speed. Airspeed returned to normal; we continued to configure for landing; and landed uneventfully. The captain contacted maintenance to write up the overspeed. Maintenance did the inspection and reported to us the overspeed was within limits.
