PM2.5 Mask Will Go Abroad More Than Half Of Its Brand In June Next Year.

Chaotic PM2.5 market will face a big reshuffle.

Beijing Commercial Daily reporter learned yesterday that the "daily protective mask technical specification" has been launched and is scheduled to be introduced in June next year.

This means that there will be a national standard for PM2.5 masks to be sold in the future.

According to a person familiar with the matter, after the implementation of the GB, more than half of the PM2.5 mask brands will be eliminated in the market.

For the requirements of civilian anti haze masks, the balance between filtration and air permeability has always been the controversial point in the industry: how to ensure good filtration while keeping good ventilation, allowing the wearer to breathe smoothly.

Zhao Danqing, chairman of the standard fiber company, told the Beijing Commercial Daily that the "ambient air quality standard" issued in 2012 is a yardstick for the national standard of anti haze masks.

"Mild or heavily polluted air is filtered through the anti haze mask that matches the national standard. The filtered air should at least meet the" good grade "stipulated in the ambient air quality standard. This mask can not only ensure comfort and permeability, but also ensure the obstruction of fine particles.

Zhao Danqing explained.

As early as February this year, China's textile industry association began organizing the drafting of the national standard for anti haze masks.

The original intention is to satisfy people's need for protective masks and standardize the competition of mask industry.

The most obvious requirement is that respirators that meet this standard must prevent particles from being inhaled in a non operating environment.

A few days ago, the standard compilation work of "technical specification for daily protective respirators" was convened, and the standard setting work was officially launched.

Relevant departments of the state have also opened a green channel to speed up the establishment and approval of the national standard, and have issued the standard number 20140042-T608, which is expected to be released in June next year.

It is understood that the current domestic mask standard has three, namely GB 2626-2006 "respiratory protective equipment - self suction filter particulate respirator", GB 19083-2010 "medical respirator technical requirements" and YY 0469-2011 "surgical surgical mask", all belong to the category of labor protection and medical protection standards, not fully applicable to the daily civilian anti haze mask.

In the industry

It is considered that the standard of anti haze respirator should not be as good as industrial mask for filtering performance. The filtration performance of the respirator can still be well protected by about 70% and about 70%.

Despite this, most of the market's mask that has anti haze function is still not up to the standard.

At the beginning of this year, the provincial quality supervision departments found that over 50% of the anti haze masks were not up to standard, and did not achieve the effect of haze prevention.

Due to the lack of industry standards, the market of haze prevention mask is chaotic.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 brands of masks sold by Taobao. The price of masks varies from 1 yuan to 100 yuan.

Because manufacturers are mostly garment factories, products can only be used as accessories in terms of quality.

Related personages said, "anti haze mask national standard will be introduced in June next year, there will be at least 50% of the mask that claims to have anti haze function is blocked outside the door, this door refers to the threshold of regular sales channels."

Zhao Jinyu, who is the standard maker of China Industrial Textiles Association, said in an interview with the Beijing Commercial Daily reporter that if the standard of the civilian mask industry can be established, it will effectively block counterfeit and shoddy products and protect consumers' daily protection.

Statistics show that as of the end of 2013, the market scale of China's functional dust respirator has reached nearly 2 billion yuan, while the market size of the civil respirator has exceeded 1 billion yuan, and it is expected to maintain rapid growth in the next 3-5 years.

Beijing Business Daily reporter learned from a mask production company insiders, last year's shipments of 10 million, this year's shipments are expected to increase by 50%.

PM2.5 masks were issued in November and TEDA shares are involved in the formulation.

Authoritative sources said that the PM2.5 mask national standard plan was introduced in November.

TEDA shares (000652.SZ) take part in the formulation of PM2.5 mask national standard.

The person said that, by all aspects of attention, "PM2.5" mask standard did not follow the traditional procedures of national standards, belong to the special case.

Therefore, it will not take 2-3 years as usual.

Relevant standards are expected to be introduced in November.

The "PM2.5" mask standard has recently held relevant working meetings.

About 10 enterprises attended the meeting.

In the A share listed company, TEDA shares as a filter material manufacturer to participate in standards related work.

600630.SH, a market share masked maker, has not been involved in the relevant standard setting work.

As China's atmospheric environment governance is a long-term process, the national standard of "PM2.5" mask will help standardize the market and maintain and enlarge the market scale.
