[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Welcron Healthcare announced on the 3rd that its 'CareOn SafeMedi Mask KF94' has received the European CE certification.


The European CE certification is a standard certification mark indicating that the product has passed all European Union (EU) directives related to consumer protection in safety, health, and the environment. It is a mandatory certification to sell safety-related products in Europe. With this approval, Welcron Healthcare can now sell this mask in European countries that require the European CE certification.


The CE certification obtained by Welcron Healthcare is the 'FFP2 NR' approval under the 'EN 149: 2001 +A1:2009' standard. FFP2 is a grade similar to the KF94 certified by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, applied to products that have passed all related tests including mask quality, safety, and production capacity.


The CareOn SafeMedi Mask is manufactured using Welcron's high-efficiency melt-blown (MB) filter. With a BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) of 99%, it protects the body from various bacteria and infectious agents. Additionally, its two-step foldable three-dimensional design neatly covers the entire chin when worn, and it has received the highest rating of 'Excellent' from the German Dermatological Institute's 'Dermatest,' making it safe to use even for sensitive skin.



Youngkyu Lee, CEO of Welcron Healthcare, stated, “Following last year's registration with the US FDA, this European CE certification opens the door to exporting high-quality masks to more countries. We will continue to launch various quarantine and hygiene products that help prevent viruses and become a company that contributes to public health.”
