As an emerging eye care product, steam eye masks have attracted much attention in the global market in recent years. However, there are differences in the standards and specifications for steam eye masks in different countries and regions. In this article, we will compare the similarities and differences between China and Europe and the United States in terms of standards for steam eye masks, and introduce the unique advantages of our products.
China Standards
China issued the industry standard FZ/T 08007-2024 ‘Disposable Steam Eye Masks’ on 24th October 2024, which will be implemented on 1st May 2025 officially.
The standard makes clear provisions for the technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, etc. of disposable steam eye masks. It is worth mentioning that our company, as one of the main drafting units, actively participated in the development of the standard.
European and American Standards
Currently, there are no specific industry standards for steam eye masks in Europe and the United States. However, products are required to comply with local general safety and quality standards. For example, the European market requires products to comply with CE certification to ensure their safety and effectiveness; the U.S. market requires products to comply with the relevant provisions of the FDA. It should be noted that some imported steam eye masks may have excessive formaldehyde content and other safety hazards, consumers should choose carefully.
