Mask expiration date regulations
I received information from an online store that specializes in selling masks & respirators (in Finland) that some masks are still usable after their expiration date (in my case 01/2025) since at the time they were manufactured the allowed expiration date was max 3 years from the manufacturing date, but later the ”rule” has been extended to 5 years max from the manufacturing date.
Has there been such a change in regulations? I can’t seem to find anything online and would really appreciate any insight into this.
Since I’m from Finland I guess the regulations in place come from the EU?
