Masks claiming protection against PM 2.5; Other (HS 630790)

Proposal for Legal Inspection of Masks Claiming Protection against PM 2.5 (2 page(s), in English; 2 page(s), in Chinese)

In response to the requests from consumers for regulating masks claiming protection against PM 2.5 to ensure effective protection of consumer health from exposure to particles in air pollution, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) proposes to require that masks, both domestically produced and imported, claiming protection against PM 2.5 be subject to mandatory inspection before they are placed on the market. The conformity assessment procedure will be Declaration of Conformity.
