distinction of disposable protective suit. Disposable protective suit
Medical/non-medical distinction Use the packaging information to distinguish and
observe whether the product packaging information contains the words "medical"
or "surgical" or "medical" in English, and whether it describes the applicable
scenarios and medical uses of medicine. If there is relevant information, it can
generally be judged as medical protective suit. Medical — Non-medical —
Different standards and certification requirements are applicable to different
countries/regions for distinguishing medical protective suit. The applicable
standards and certification information of products can be obtained from the
product packaging or the test report or certificate provided by the
manufacturer. 01 Relevant Chinese standards As long as the implementation
standard is marked with GB19082, it can be judged as medical disposable
protective suit. 02 Relevant EU standards The EU medical protective suit applies
to the scope of the Medical Device Regulation 93/42/EEC, which will be replaced
by the new EU Medical Device Regulation EU2017/745 (MDR) on May 26, 2020.

Disposable Coverall, the European Commission announced a proposal to
postpone the implementation of the MDR regulation for one year and submitted it
in early April so that the European Parliament and Council could adopt it by the
end of May with additional and different requirements. The EU Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation, EU2016/425, applies to non-medical PPE.
The main standards for the two regulations are shown in the table below. For the
protective suit exported to EU, if the CE certificate has the corresponding
directive 93/42/EEC or EU2017/745, and the notified body has obtained the
authorization of 93/42/EEC or EU2017/745 through the CE certificate, it is a
medical protective suit. CE certificate query method Click to enter the CE
certificate inquiry webpage, and click the number of the notified body to be
inquired, such as 1282. Inquire to see the specific information of the notified
body and the authorization of the body. For protective suit products with "CE"
label on the outer packaging and many EN standards, they can be used as
suspected medical protective suit, and then combined with CE certificate
inspection and judgment. 03 Relevant American standards Medical protective suit
in the United States are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The primary technical regulation for medical protective suit is 21 CFR 878.4040,
Surgical Apparel. Medical protective suit standards mainly include ANSI/AAMIPB70
"Liquid Barrier Properties and Classification of protective suit and Protective
Cloths Used in Health Care Facilities" and NFPA 1999-2018 "Standard for
protective suit Used in Emergency Medical Operations". For protective suit
exported to the United States, if there is a "FDA" mark on the package, the
standard number is marked as "ANSI/AAMIPB70" and "NFPA1999-2018", it can
generally be judged as medical protective suit. When it is judged as a suspected
medical protective suit by using the above methods of product appearance
distinction, we can open the protective suit package, check the appearance of
the product and eliminate it. See if the product is complete 01 The disposable
medical protective suit consists of a hat, a coat and trousers, and can be a
jumpsuit or a split body. If the product does not have a cap, the product is not
a disposable medical protective suit, otherwise, it cannot be determined. See if
it is sealed. 02 See if there is any sealing treatment at the joint.
Intuitively, it is whether there is an adhesive tape. Note that if there is no
adhesive tape, it can be judged directly that it must not be a disposable
medical protective suit, but if there is adhesive tape, it is not necessarily a
disposable medical protective suit. Look at the product material 03 Front
Reverse side Disposable medical protective suit must be made of nonwoven cloth
covered with a layer of plastic film. The wrong material must not be a
disposable medical protective suit, but the right material can not be judged to
be a disposable medical protective suit. Look at the closing of cuffs and
ankles. 04 Cuff Ankle mouth See if the cuffs and ankles are complete and
elastic. If the cuffs and ankles are not closed, the product is not a disposable
medical protective suit, otherwise,

can not be determined. (Source: released by the Customs, contributed by Shenzhen
