Three main standards for medical protective masks in China
There are three main standards for medical masks in China: the national standard GB19083-2010 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks", which is under the jurisdiction of the National Medical Clinical Laboratory and In Vitro Diagnostic System Standardization Technical Committee, and the industry proposed and under the jurisdiction of the State Food and Drug Administration. Standard YY0469-2011 "Medical Surgical Masks", and the industry-standard YY/T0969-2013 "Disposable Medical Masks" were proposed and managed by the State Food and Drug Administration.
1 China National Standard GB19083-2010 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks"
GB19083-2010 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks" is a mandatory national standard, proposed by the State Food and Drug Administration, and under the jurisdiction of the National Medical Clinical Laboratory and In Vitro Diagnostic System Standardization Technical Committee.
This standard is mainly applicable to medical protective masks, which not only filter particles in the air but also block droplets, blood, body fluids, secretions, etc. In terms of terms and definitions, this standard does not provide a specific definition of particulate matter (including particle size).
From the perspective of filtration efficiency of masks, the filtration efficiency levels of medical protective masks for non-oily particles can be divided into 1, 2, and 3 levels, and the filtration efficiency of masks is 95%, 99%, and 99.97%, respectively.
From the perspective of standard technical requirements, in addition to filtration efficiency, GB19083-2010 also includes basic requirements for masks, nose clips, mask straps, airflow resistance, synthetic blood penetration, surface moisture resistance, microbial indicators, ethylene oxide residues, and resistance There are requirements on flammability, skin irritation, and tightness. Compared with the versatility of GB2626-2006 "Respiratory Protective Equipment Self-priming Filtering Anti-Particulate Respirator", these all reflect the characteristics of medical protective masks.
2 China Industry Standard YY0469-2011 "Medical Surgical Masks"
This standard is a mandatory standard for the pharmaceutical industry, enforced within the scope of the pharmaceutical industry, and is proposed and managed by the State Food and Drug Administration.
Mainly medical surgical masks and disposable masks are worn by clinical medical staff during invasive operations.
Compared with other mask standards, its filtration efficiency is relatively special, emphasizing that the filtration efficiency of bacteria is not less than 95%, and the filtration efficiency of non-oily particles is only required to be not less than 30%.
In addition to filtration efficiency, YY0469-2011 "Medical Surgical Masks" has the following characteristics: appearance, structure and size, nose clip, mask belt, synthetic blood penetration, pressure difference, flame retardant performance, microbial indicators, ethylene oxide residue, skin There are technical requirements for irritation, cytotoxicity, and delayed-type hypersensitivity, reflecting the characteristics of medical surgical masks.
3 Chinese industry standard YY/T0969-2013 "Disposable Medical Masks"
This standard is a recommended standard for the pharmaceutical industry, proposed and managed by the State Food and Drug Administration.
The disposable medical masks specified in this standard are only suitable for ordinary medical environments, not for medical protective masks and medical surgical masks. YY/T0969-2013 "Disposable Medical Masks" emphasizes that the bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) should not be less than 95%, but does not specify the filtration efficiency of non-oily particulate matter.
In addition, YY/T0969-2013 "Disposable Medical Masks" also stipulates appearance, size structure, nose clip, mask belt, ventilation resistance, microbial indicators, ethylene oxide residue, cytotoxicity, skin irritation, Delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, etc.
