On April 13, after checking the website of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it was found that as of April 11, masks produced by 46 factories in China had been authorized for emergency use (EUA). Among them, there are not only foreign-owned enterprises like 3M China, but also local manufacturers like Ogilvy medical, BYD, Zhongding testing, Yongtai Sanlian, jinnar medical, etc.
It is found that among the above enterprises with emergency authorization, 26 of them use KN95 standard to produce masks. It is worth noting that on March 28, half a month ago, in order to alleviate the shortage of medical protective equipment in the United States, the FDA approved the non N95 masks certified by the European Union and five countries (Australia, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Mexico), but the kn95 masks made in China were not granted emergency authorization. The move was also questioned by the US media for “political factors”. (check the article: the United States suddenly cancelled the recognition of kn95 respirator standard in China! There are new regulations on the export of medical materials since April 1! With CE / FDA certification qualification guide attached.) although on April 2, an FDA official disclosed that due to the shortage of personal protective equipment in the United States, they did not prohibit the import of kn95 respirators from China
