The new national standard masks to promote poor performance standards to be standardized

From November, China's first national standard for protective masks - GB/T32610-2016 "Daily Protective Mask Technical Specifications" (hereinafter referred to as the new national standard) was formally implemented. What is the implementation of the new national standard that people have high hopes for? Related media conducted a survey interview.

The new national standard promotion effect is not good

The implementation of the new national standard has been more than 20 days, the survey found that the implementation of the new national standard products is difficult to trace, the majority of the market for the implementation of anti-mite masks are GB2626-2006. It is reported that this mandatory national standard is named "Respiratory protective equipment self-priming filter type particulate respirator", the standard classification is "labor protection products" for occupational respiratory protection, including certain particulate protection, such as dust, smoke, etc. Non-oily particles.

In the three shopping websites of Jingdong, Tmall and Taobao, none of the top 15 anti-mite masks for each site has implemented a new national standard. Among them, there is a domestic anti-mite mask declared in Beijing on the basis of GB/T32610-2016, but the implementation of the standard is still GB2626-2006.

Jingdong consulted on a 3M moth-proof mask, and customer service staff replied that their products are all implemented in GB2626-2006. This is the current national standard, and other standards are not clear.

In Taobao and Tmall, the situation is basically similar to Jingdong. The customer service staff also did not understand the new national standard, but only stressed that meeting the requirements of the national standard GB2626-2006 is qualified and can be purchased with confidence.

What is the physical store situation? The related media visited several pharmacies and supermarkets on Wanfeng Road and Lianyi Road in Fengtai District of Beijing. The situation is basically the same as that of an online shop. Most of the anti-caries masks sold are based on the implementation of the GB2626-2006 standard. Salespeople are either unfamiliar with the new national standard or are unclear.

According to the different air quality, the new national standard will divide the protection level of the mask from low to high into 4 levels: D level, C level, B level, and A level. For example, class D applies to air quality with moderate or less pollution, and PM2.5 concentration is less than or equal to 150 micrograms/cubic meter. Class A masks are suitable for severe air pollution and use when the concentration of PM2.5 is less than or equal to 500 micrograms per cubic meter. However, the sales staff said that they had not heard of the mask of this graded logo, and no such masks were sold in the store.

Regarding the difficulty of landing the new national standard, experts explained that the main reason is that this is a recommended standard and there is no mandatory binding force on production companies. Enterprises can or cannot implement the mandatory standards.

Relevant personnel made investigations on the situation of wearing masks when the public traveled twice under different levels of air pollution. The first time was on November 13th. At 10:10 the same day, Beijing was a bright yellow warning. At the intersection of Wanfeng Road, Fengtai District, Beijing, it was observed that among the 100 pedestrians crossing the road, only 7 were wearing masks. Among the masked pedestrians, 4 people wore N95 models that could filter PM2.5 masks, and 3 people wore disposable masks and ordinary cotton masks.

At 9:00 on November 18th, the Beijing Air Quality Index (AQI) was 213, heavily polluted, and the orange alarm was issued. I came to the intersection of the traffic lights at Carrefour supermarket on Guangqumen Street, and observed 15 minutes. A rough count of this period was about 300 people. Among them, 58 were wearing masks and 20% were wearing masks. Obviously, compared with the previous investigation of the yellow warning, the number of people wearing masks increased significantly during the orange warning. However, up to 80% of people still do not have any protection, including elderly people and young children.

Most people who don’t wear masks say they are used to it and they don’t care about it; others say it’s uncomfortable; others say that they are often foggy and unpredictable and simply don’t wear it.

People wearing masks said that smog seriously affects human health and should wear masks when going out. The citizen Wang told reporters that when the haze is serious, she will wear a mask when she goes out. However, when a reporter asked if she understood the knowledge of the anti-mite masks, she laughed unclearly and never heard of a new national standard. Her standard of purchase is that the masks that are sold on the Internet and claimed to be defamatory are not proof of whether they can really prevent them.

Mr. Zhao, a citizen, said that he does not wear a mask, mainly because he feels that if he is gray, his visibility is significantly reduced, he will wear a professional anti-mite mask.

The related media also interviewed Uncle Wu, a guardian of the orange age neighborhood near Wanfeng Road. He said that he was outdoors almost every day, but he never wore a mask, he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't breathe, and he was flustered. During the interview, a staff member of the health club opposite the community was lined up to do aerobics and none of them wore masks.
