The new rule is called <strong>ASTM F2100-23<\/strong>. The old rule was <strong>ASTM F2100-19<\/strong>. The new rule adds two important <strong>changes<\/strong> for better <strong>safety<\/strong> et <strong>quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-new-rule-for-shelf-life\"><strong>A New Rule for Shelf Life<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The biggest of the <strong>updates<\/strong> is about <strong>labeling<\/strong>. Les <strong>latest version<\/strong> of the <strong>standard<\/strong> has a new <strong>requirement<\/strong>. <strong>Manufacturers<\/strong> must now print the <strong>shelf life<\/strong> on the mask <strong>packaging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What is shelf life?<\/strong> Le <strong>shelf life<\/strong> tells <strong>users<\/strong> how long a mask can be stored before it is used. After that date, the mask\u2019s <strong>mat\u00e9riel<\/strong> et <strong>construction<\/strong> might not work as well. Its <strong>performance<\/strong> could go down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Why is this important?<\/strong> This <strong>change<\/strong> is very important for the <strong>healthcare industry<\/strong>. It gives clear <strong>information<\/strong> et <strong>guidance<\/strong>. This helps with <strong>compliance<\/strong> et <strong>adherence<\/strong> \u00e0 <strong>best practices<\/strong>. It makes sure every <a href=\"https:\/\/med-disposable.com\/fr\/product\/individually-wrapped-disposable-surgical-face-masks\/\"><strong>individually wrapped disposable surgical face masks<\/strong><\/a> offers the right <strong>protection<\/strong>.

They know they are buying masks that meet all <strong>specifications<\/strong>. This new rule helps make sure the masks will pass all <strong>performance criteria<\/strong>. Les <strong>testing methods<\/strong> check for many things. These include <strong>bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE)<\/strong> et <strong>sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency (PFE)<\/strong>. They also check <strong>fluid resistance<\/strong> et <strong>flame spread<\/strong>. A mask that is too old might not meet these <strong>requirements<\/strong>. This new <strong>labeling<\/strong> rule applies to all <strong>classification<\/strong> levels of masks, like <strong>niveau 1<\/strong>, <strong>level 2<\/strong>et <strong>level 3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-new-rule-about-using-masks-again\"><strong>A New Rule About Using Masks Again<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Another of the <strong>key differences<\/strong> en <strong>ASTM F2100-23<\/strong> is a clear rule about <strong>reprocessing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What is reprocessing?<\/strong> <strong>Reprocessing<\/strong> means to clean and reuse a mask. The new <strong>standard<\/strong> says that <a href=\"https:\/\/med-disposable.com\/fr\/product\/disposable-medical-face-mask-en14683-standard\/\"><strong>disposable medical face mask<\/strong><\/a> are for one use only. They should not be used again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Why is this important?<\/strong> This <strong>update<\/strong> gives clear <strong>guidance<\/strong>. The old <strong>ASTM F2100-19<\/strong> did not talk about this. The new rule makes it clear that the <strong>design<\/strong> of these masks is for one person for one time. Using a mask again can be unsafe. It can lower its <strong>protection<\/strong> et <strong>performance<\/strong>. Things like <strong>biocompatibility<\/strong> et <strong>differential pressure<\/strong>ou <strong>breathability<\/strong>, are tested for one use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How does it help? <\/strong>This part of the guide helps everyone understand how to use masks safely.
