It specifies the technical requirements, testing methods, and labeling of self-priming, filtered, anti-particulate respirators for respiratory protection articles.


According to the filtering efficiency of the mask, the mask is divided into three grades: 90 (KN90, KP90), 95 (KN95, KP95). 100 (KN100, KP100). The numbers indicate the size of the filtration efficiency, and the KN series is detected by sodium chloride particles, while the KP series is detected by oil particles. 


2 Standards for medical masks

There are three existing standards for medical masks in China: YY/T 0969-2013 "Disposable medical masks", YY 0469-2011 "Medical surgical mask", GB 19083-2010 "Medical protective mask technology Requirements".

The standard specifies the BFE requirements of the mask and YY/T 0969, increased PFE (≥30%), and synthetic blood penetration performance requirements for better protection in the case of surgical blood contact with the mask.

The standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, marking and instructions for use and packaging, transport and storage for medical protective masks, which suitable for use in medical work environments to filter particles from the air and block droplets, blood, body fluids, and secretions.


Note: The test flow rate for this standard is (85±2)L/min and the inspiratory resistance of the mask does not exceed 343.2Pa (35mmH20). Synthetic blood penetration requirements: spray 2mL of synthetic blood into the mask at 10.7KPa (80mmHg), there should be no penetration on the inside of the mask.


3 Standards for protective masks

GB/T 32610-2016, the first standard for civilian protective machine of China, was implemented on Nov 1, 2016. The standard covers mask raw material requirements, structural requirements, labeling and marking requirements, appearance requirements, etc., and the main indicators include functional indicators Particle filtration efficiency, exhalation and inhalation resistance index, airtightness index, and so on.


GB 32610 standard requires masks should be able to safely and securely protect the nose and mouth, there should be no accessible sharp corners and sharp edges, formaldehyde, dyes, microorganisms, and other factors that may cause harm to the human body to make detailed provisions to ensure the safety of the public when wearing protective masks.
