Does the n95 mask meet the requirements? During the epidemic, people generally realized the importance of protective masks. At present, more and more people wear KN95 and N95 medical protective masks, which is a good phenomenon. Recently, a white folded ear-hanging "N95" mask with high frequency appeared in news videos of relevant media, which attracted my attention. For a person who has been in the mask industry for 1 years, this kind of thing should not appear at this time. It was the product of the gap mask period in early 22. The mask commonly known as "Whiteboard N95" in the industry < /p > In the above picture, the "N95" mask with white folded ears and money has appeared frequently in various news media recently. Nothing is printed on the mask body except N95, which does not meet the mandatory standards of relevant countries. < strong > There is no mask grade of "N95" in the mainstream mask standards published and implemented in China at present < /strong >. This mask in the picture does not conform to the grade identification and product identification specifications in GB2626-219 standard (the compliant mask needs to be marked with the words of model, trademark and GB2626-219 KN95 grade, and the product without logo is non-compliant. In this case, local market supervision and management departments can intervene in the investigation). It also does not conform to the classification of filtration efficiency in GB1983-21 standard (the filtration efficiency of medical protective masks is classified as Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3, and there is no N95 grade). < strong>GB2626 and GB1983 are the only two mandatory standards for disposable/disposable masks in China at present < /strong >. < /p > classification of mask filtration efficiency in GB 2626-219 standard

medical protective masks (< strong > at present, not all masks with filtration efficiency of 95% are N95 masks, which is a misunderstanding of professional mask products. At present, among the global standards, only the NIOSH standard in the United States has the N95 mask grade, which generally refers to the 95-grade mask that meets the NIOSH certification in the United States. < /strong >) There is no N95 mask grade in the current version of the standard GB1983-21. < /p > classification of filtration grade in GB 1983-21 medical protective mask

Of course, this white folded ear strap "N95" mask does not meet the N95 grade in NIOSH 42 CFR-84 standard. From the appearance, it can be clearly distinguished. Firstly, the logo that does not meet the requirements of NIOSH, and secondly, the N95 mask has no ears and is generally a wearing mask.

NISOH has more stringent requirements on the identification of mask products, either a bare "N95" or a genuine one

NIOSH standard N95 masks have no ear-hanging masks, because they think that the ear-hanging masks have poor tightness. Recently, the relevant departments of other countries have realized that the poor tightness of the ear mask will affect its protective effect, and try to avoid using the ear mask products as much as possible. < /p > The "N95" mask with white folded ears played a great role in the early 22, but two years later, whether it is legal or not is left to the relevant departments to judge for themselves. In the past two years, there have been a lot of people using "N95" masks to scratch the ball. In fact, it is also a helpless move. The media over-promoted N95 masks and ignored our own KN95. These two kinds of masks are essentially products of the same root and homology. There is no need to be superstitious about N95 masks, and KN95 from China can also play the same role. < /p > The following contents were added on December 13th, 222 < /p > If the mask has not obtained the N95 certification of NIOSH 42CFR84 standard in the United States, there are the following phenomena:

1) The mask manufacturer gives the protective mask < strong > the name < /strong > N95 protective mask;

2) mask manufacturers choose < strong > mask model < /strong > for protective masks: N95

3) mask manufacturers mark on the packaging, such as "using N95 filter material", "conforming to N95 grade" and "conforming to N95 filtration grade". < /p > Whether the N95 mask is authentic or not depends on the implementation standards. As long as the mask does not have a series of NIOSH marks (pictured above), it is a counterfeit product. China has its own mandatory mask standards GB2626-219 and GB1983-21, and its protection ability is not inferior to NIOSH N95. Since three years ago, it has been led by American companies on epidemic prevention masks. Now, our management is unprofessional, unable to distinguish the mask standards, spreading false information everywhere and misleading people. I was trampled on our 2626 standard by America, and in the end I helped others count money.
