Romania issued through the EU’s RAPEX system another 4 alerts for non-compliant masks from China already on the maket. The products bear the CE mark, but are not certified as protective equipment by a relevant body, so they may not meet the health and safety requirements – according the alert sent in our country. Specifically, the masks do not comply with the regulation on personal protective equipment and the relevant European standard, although the packaging is said to comply. The authorities recommend withdrawing from the market and warn economic operators in the field to consult the ANPC and European Commission websites before placing such products on the market, in order to ensure that they are not included in the category of products banned from marketing./opopescu
