According to the European Union, masks are divided into two categories: medical masks and personal protective masks.

1. medical mask ?

Medical masks should be labeled in accordance with European Union Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) or EU medical device Ordinance EU2017/745 (MDR), with the corresponding standard of EN14683. According to the sterile or non sterile condition of mask products, the conformity assessment modes are different. (1) sterile medical masks: CE certification must be conducted by authorized announcement bodies.

(2) non sterile medical masks: enterprises only need to carry out CE self compliance statement, and do not need to be certified by public notice institutions. After making the corresponding documents and test reports, you can complete the compliance statement yourself.

2. personal protective masks

Personal protective masks do not belong to medical devices, but they comply with the requirements of the European personal protective equipment Ordinance EU2016/425 (PPE). CE is certified and issued by the authorized announcement institution, with the corresponding standard of EN149.

Protective clothing is also divided into medical protective clothing and personal protective clothing. Management requirements are basically similar to those of respirators. Medical protective clothing is managed according to medical devices. Sterile medical protective clothing is required to be CE certified according to the European Union Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) or the European Union Medical Devices Ordinance EU2017/745 (MDR). Personal protective clothing is required to be CE certified in accordance with the European personal protective equipment Ordinance EU2016/425 (PPE).

1. medical mask ???

Medical masks should be registered through FDA, and enterprises will apply directly to FDA official website and submit relevant materials. There are two alternatives:

(1) the N95 mask, which has been registered by NIOSH, has been registered. When the product biological test, flame retardant test and blood penetration test pass, the product registration (510K) can be exempted, and the registration of FDA plant and the listing of medical devices can be carried out directly.

(2) if authorized by a manufacturer holding a 510K, it can use its 510K approval number to register and name the equipment as its manufacturer.

2. personal protective masks

The respirator should be registered through NIOSH, and the company will apply directly to NIOSH official website.

Management of medical protective clothing and personal protective clothing is also similar to the management of masks. Medical protective clothing is administered by the food and Drug Administration (FDA), and personal protective clothing is managed by the National Institute of occupational safety and health (NIOSH). Enterprises directly apply for registration in FDA or NIOSH.
