When masks are mandatory

Masks are mandatory indoors regardless of social distance. The only exceptions are bars and restaurants (when eating and drinking) and when exercising in the gym. Children up to the age of six years and those who suffer from disabilities that prevent them from using the mask, are exempt from the obligation to wear masks.

As for the use of face masks on the working place, it is always mandatory when social distancing cannot be guaranteed or any other situation where social distancing cannot be maintained. It is essential that the masks and any other PPE (glasses, overalls, gloves, headphones, etc.) adopted in the workplace comply with the provisions of the health and scientific authorities. Companies are also required to provide employees with adequate items for frequent hand cleaning. For this reason the sanitizing gel should be placed in several places, easily identifiable.

DPI and medical devices: how masks are classified

All products offered on en.antinfortunistica-dpi.it are CE marked. However, it is important to remember that there are different classifications for the masks. They can be recognized as personal protective equipment (PPE) or as medical devices (DM).
What is the difference? Masks classified as PPE represent equipment intended for individual health protection. They are suitable for all citizens who want to protect themselves from those harmful agents dangerous to human beings. The masks with DM classification, on the other hand, are those that are normally used in a medical setting. For the period of the health emergency Covid-19 they have been equated to PPE.

The meaning of CE masking in protective masks

The CE marking represents a set of mandatory practices for all articles subject to EU directives. In order to obtain it, the manufacturer must submit a declaration of conformity to the safety requirements established by regulations and directives of the European Community. The products on which this symbol appears therefore meet all the obligations to which producers or importers are subjected (for goods placed on the market under their responsibility).

In order to have the certainty to protect their own health and that of others, every private citizen or VAT registration number holder should make sure to buy products with CE certification. Especially because in this period of health emergency the Italian State allows employers to equip their staff with masks that have not obtained the CE mark, thus making this kind of articles PPE s which are suitable for work. However, it remains the employer's responsibility to verify the quality and effectiveness of non-certified masks.
