Masks, understand it through standards
What are the standards for masks?
At present, my country's main standards for masks include GB 2626-2006 "Respiratory protective equipment self-priming filter type anti-particulate respirator", GB 19083-2010 "Technical requirements for medical protective masks", YY 0469-2004 "Technical requirements for medical surgical masks" , GB/T 32610-2016 "Technical Specifications for Daily Protective Masks", etc., covering labor protection, medical protection, civil protection and other fields.
GB 2626-2006 "Respiratory Protective Equipment Self-priming Filter-type Anti-Particulate Respirator" was promulgated by the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Management Committee. It is a mandatory standard for the full text and was implemented on December 1, 2006. The protection objects stipulated in the standard include all kinds of particulate matter, including dust, smoke, fog and microorganisms. It also stipulates the production and technical specifications of respiratory protective equipment, and the material, structure, appearance, performance, and filtration efficiency of dust masks ( Dust resistance rate), respiratory resistance, testing methods, product identification, packaging, etc. have strict requirements.
GB 19083-2010 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks" was promulgated by the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Management Committee, and was implemented on August 1, 2011. The standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, signs and instructions for use of medical protective masks, as well as packaging, transportation and storage.

This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, signs and instructions for use, packaging, transportation and storage of medical surgical masks. The standard stipulates that the bacterial filtration efficiency of masks should not be less than 95%.
GB/T 32610-2016 "Technical Specifications for Daily Protective Masks" was issued by the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Management Committee. It is my country's first national standard for civilian protective masks and was implemented on November 1, 2016. The standard involves mask raw material requirements, structural requirements, label identification requirements, appearance requirements, etc. The main indicators include functional indicators, particulate filtration efficiency, expiratory and inspiratory resistance indicators, and adhesion indicators. The standard requires that masks should be able to safely and firmly protect the mouth and nose, and there should be no sharp corners and edges that can be touched. It has detailed regulations on factors that may cause harm to human bodies such as formaldehyde, dyes, and microorganisms to ensure that the public can wear them. Safety when wearing protective masks.
