CEN/TC 248 N 2212 Textiles and textile products – Community face coverings – Minimum requirements, methods of testing and use.

Scope

Standardization of the following aspects of textiles, textile products and textile components of products:

1) test methods;

2) terms and definitions;

3) specifications, and if necessary, classifications, in terms of their expected behaviour, in particular where required by other CEN Technical Committees or the CEC or EFTA.

Equipment relevant for the testing and use of textiles.

The use of multi material textile-based face coverings, and textile-based face coverings incorporating transparent elements to allow for lip reading.

Purpose

To convert the CEN CWA 17553:2020 'Community face coverings' - Guide to minimum requirements, methods of testing and use' into a CEN TS that will include more information, requirements and test methods. It will deal with some important issues for which there was no time to find consensus during the development of the CWA, and it will be more representative because it will be drafted and agreed upon by all CEN members.
