Medical field standards GB 19083-2010 "Technical Requirements for Medical Protective Masks", YY 0469-2011 "Medical Surgical Masks", YY/T 0969-2013 "Disposable Medical Masks" are mainly applicable to medical institutions.
However, according to the mask use scene and the user population, there is no suitable standard for sanitary (barrier type) masks used by ordinary people. In order to better meet the urgent needs of the masses for sanitary masks during the epidemic, facilitate the adoption of standards and applications for companies that produce/transform masks, while ensuring product quality and facilitating market supervision.
The market conducted demonstration studies, and urgently submitted an application for the establishment of the group standard of "civil sanitary masks" to the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Textile Industry Federation (referred to as China Textile Federation). On March 11, the China Industry Association officially issued the T/CNITA 09104-2020 "Civilian Sanitary Masks" standard.
