    CE certification is not worth much.
    Does it meet Australian standards? Is it approved?

      • +3

        Australian standard is P2. It's funny how during the bushfires it was all about P2 masks now in Coronavirus we've somehow switched to chinese standards, which is where the KN95 standard is from, whist America uses N95…

        • -2

          yes, then the chinese people wear KN95 to win the virus in China return to normal life and us people reject to use mask whatever KN or N, and there have over 1.5m cases in USA now. no worries, aussie people always support US whatever they are so foolish

          • @yl001: Yeah but Winnie the Pooh "won" the virus by just murdering anyone who had it from Jan-March. Left these victims off the official numbers to create a CCP miracle.

            While that was going on they disappeared the doctors and anyone else who might blow the whistle.

            China winning COVID-19 had as much to do with masks as Tiananmen Square. Back in ya box 50 cent.

      • There are specific Australian standards for medical masks and respirators.
        Just Google them, you will see the AS numbers. For example (pdf): https://www.halyardhealth.com.au/media/12243438/Halyard-Mask…

    5 for $14.95

    Not a bad price for local stock.

    Unusual pricing model, but probably the cheapest you'll find locally.

    Of course theyre unlikely to meet official Australian n95 standards, but better than a surgical mask.

    • Of course they're not going to meet a standard that doesn't exist.

    👆 Masks ubstandard and unfit for their purposes were rejected by Canada, US and UK, now selling in Australia?

    May just as well buy the cheapest 40c masks for a sense of false security.

    straight from TGA

    PPE including masks, gowns and gloves that are presented or claim to be for therapeutic use, such as surgical or examination masks intended to reduce or prevent the transmission of disease or micro-organisms (such as bacteria or viruses), meet the definition of a medical device. These products are regulated by the TGA under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 and will need to be included in the ARTG before they can be supplied.

    so my question is, are you marketing these for this pandemic? if yes, is it TGA approved?

      KN95 (China GB2626-2006) is based off the US N95 standard but the problem is fakes and copies - so its hard to know if the standards are being applied

      • Regardless of standards applied or not, the problematic ones I've linked to above were reportedly government purchases.

        So how assured are we with these Chinese standard ones even if they claim to have a standard?

        • I read those articles you linked about the fake masks with fake certification - definitely alarming.

  • +4

    Are these suitable for driving alone in my Camry?

    • depends if you have sanitized the inside of the car and are likely to touch your face without a mask ….

  • +6

    Image states N95 standard, actual stats state KN95 standard… none of it states they meet Australian Standards or are Niosh N95 approved, because they don't meet the grade. No stamps on the mask anywhere.

    Not worth the $27.45 for 10 masks. Not a bargain.

    https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1791500O/comparison-ffp2…

    KN95 P2 N95 are pretty much the same. I haven't seen cheap P2 available for long time, so if you need a quality mask, KN95 and N95 both fine.

    • Eventhough these masks claim to meet N95/P2/KN95, not all have actually been tested or pass the test. This is the list of testing being done in the US on all the masks that are being imported for use by health care workers. It is scary that even those rated KN95 can have an efficiency of under 40%. And this is just the filter material. All earloop type masks are not tight enough to give a good face seal, making it it leak through your face seal area.

    Chinese made? Yeah, no.

    • Aussie made ? Wait where…

      • Soon….. we learned our lesson.

        • How soon? We dropped ours for the past decades, it'll take longer to get it back. Even that, we wont have a self sufficient manufactory.

      made in china is everywhere around your normal life. check your full house, and wish you throw them away. thx

        He might not have a house intact and more than half empty house and nothing to wear, including undies. just check!

    Way to $$$ and no certification

  • +1

    Why do people feel the need to use these? The only people who need them currently will have them provided by their workplace (healthcare workers in direct contact with COVID cases, or workers in high particulate industries…)

    • Given the recent obsession with Toilet Paper maybe the next big trend is to protect noses while on a trip to the loo…

    • Those in need are NOT supplied with enough PPEs. Just ask around you. If these have quality controled, they're better than normal surgical masks.

    Someone got a planeload (70 tonnes) of PPE from China hoping to sell them to federal and local agencies for a (huuuuge) profit. Unfortunately for the importer, the entire unsolicited shipment was rejected by the government (both local- and federal level).

    So someone is now sitting on 70 tonnes of PPE they can only sell retail.

    The importer already made a motza when the shipment was "paid" by sending 35 tonnes of Tasmanian Atlantic salmon and 11,000 tins of much-needed baby formula to China.

      The plane returned to Wuhan on April 9, packed with more than 11,000 tins of baby formula

      LOL

    • I'm confused, I read people trying to ship medical supplies out of Australia to China.

      • +1

        I'm confused, I read people trying to ship medical supplies out of Australia to China.

        During January and February 2020, overseas Chinese living in Australia have stripped Australian shelves bare of vital PPE and shipped them off to China by the planeload. (One of those companies was the Greenland Group.)

        Once the epidemic in China was declared over, the foreign made PPE were kept in China and locally made PPE (sub-standard, inferior and factory rejects) were being sold overseas by individuals not related to or associated with the Chinese government. They were sold mostly to EU countries like Spain, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Turkey, UK, Finland, etc. The US was not even immune. There was a case where payment of PPE was exchanged in the carpark of McDonalds.

        Currently, our Federal and State government are keen not to make the same mistakes elsewhere (un-solicited offer) and made a very wise decision of refusing/rejecting the offer. So expect the market be get flooded with sub-standard & not-fit-for-purpose PPE with questionable quality (if it not happening already).

        Believe it or not, anyone looking for good-quality PPE that is made in Asia should look at the PPE coming out of Vietnam.

        • When China declared epidemic was over, they had used all stock PPEs, and not many foreign made PPEs among them anyway, 3M's main production is in China. The 3M export outside America was stopped by US, and 3M prodcued in China was under authority control, because those are categorised as strategic stock. Countries not doing so, are of course lack of it.

          However, 40k medicals from all over China to fight in Hubei province used mainly China made PPEs, KN95 is the standard there for facemasks. it's said that none of the 40k medicals sent in had contracted coronavirus, no one has contradicted this since.

          Exporting PPEs in Jan and Feb was not illeagal and most countries were not even thinking they would be caught up. Since March, PPEs production in China is full blown and increased significantly, so shipping PPEs to the world is not illeagal and happening everyday. Many countries are still relying on it.

          • @Jamesx: Something not being illegal does not mean it is also not "immoral".

          • @Jamesx:

            so shipping PPEs to the world is not illeagal and happening everyday

            I am not say (nor implying) that shipping PPE is illegal.

            What I'm saying is there are 70 tonnes of PPE rejected by the Federal and State government of Australia somewhere in NSW. If/When the importer starts releasing said rejected PPE the prices should be coming down (if they haven't already).

      • people were shipping medical supplies, mainly PPEs out around the world to China to fight the epedemic inside China in Jan & Feb. When most countries were just watching and not preparing it, especially PPEs. China was already in Chinese New Year mood prior lock down, many factories closed and workers went interstate back home. Due to the almost country wide lockdown, factories were having trouble reopen due to travel restrictions and short of supplies.
        China produces ~90% PPEs for the world. Now the key materials increase 20 folds in price, but China is open for business. If you need large scale PPEs, chances are you just have to get it from China, that's why countries were fighting and snatching PPEs off other countries.

        • I see, thanks :)
