Mask Companies Welcome Good News! The New Standard For KN95 Masks Is Postponed Until Next July 1St.

In June 11th, the State Administration of standardization issued a notice. It is decided to extend the implementation date of the national standard of GB 2626-2019 respiratory protective self suction particulate filter respirator for July 1, 2021.

The GB 2626-2019 standard, originally scheduled for July 1, 2020, will put forward higher requirements on respirator resistance, airtightness, practical performance, cleaning and disinfection of KN95 respirators, and can better reflect the performance of respirators in actual use. GB 2626-2019 the mandatory national standard for respiratory protection self priming filter particulate respirator was released in December 31, 2019, and the original transitional period was 6 months.

In order to fully support the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control work and ensure the stable supply of respirator products, after the study, we decided to extend the implementation date of the national standard of GB 2626-2019 respiratory protective self suction particulate filter respirator for July 1, 2021. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "mandatory national standards governing measures", enterprises can choose to implement GB 2626-2006 or GB 2626-2019 by themselves during the transition period before July 1, 2021.

Encourage qualified enterprises to organize production as early as possible according to the new standards.
