GAP MATRIX
Compliance Gap Matrix
| Compliance item | Common China baseline | Peru (INACAL) | Gap / action | Source + verification date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conformity Route and Importer Responsibility for Occupational Respirators | China uses GB 2626-2019 for industrial respirators, with domestic mandatory or voluntary pathways through CNCA/SAMR and CCC where applicable; medical-protective and surgical masks follow GB 19083-2010 and YY 0469-2011 with NMPA routes. These are Chinese market systems and are not accepted as Peru importer-file equivalent by default.GB 2626-2019 — non-powered air-purifying particle respirator GB 19083-2010 — medical protective mask YY 0469-2011 — medical surgical mask CNCA / CCC — China Compulsory Certification where applicable |
Peru evaluates workplace filtering respirators through INACAL technical referencing (adopted NTP/IEC methods) together with workplace safety expectations under MTPE. Where a product category is covered by a published Reglamento Tecnico, compliance documentation must pass the PRODUCE/INDECOPI import-conformity chain and be linked to a Peru-established importer at the Callao entry point. Evidence is reviewed for model identity, intended purpose, traceability, and documentation integrity, then confirmed by customs or market-side audits.INACAL NTP framework under Ley N. 30224 (National Quality Policy) adopting relevant IEC-derived methods for respiratory protective products Ley N. 29783 and Decreto Supremo 005-2012-TR — occupational safety framework for employer and workplace preventive controls Reglamento Tecnico published through PRODUCE / INDECOPI for regulated import categories |
The China certificate package (GB/CNCA/CCC and NMPA-related files) is domestic evidence only and does not replace INACAL-based technical reference plus Peru importer-centered entry compliance. Exporters should prepare Peru-specific technical and importer documents before first customs release at Callao.[INFORMATIONAL] PERU-ROUTE: do not assume GB/CNCA/CCC files are sufficient. For occupational respirators, expect Peru-side technical-reference mapping, in-country importer documentation, and entry-file obligations. The practical blocker in this row is often importer-level evidence packaging rather than a product-by-product technical re-design. | INACAL / Peruvian Government2026-06-15 · reference |
| Labelling and Instructions — Language and Use Guidance | Chinese domestic labelling for these product groups is mostly Chinese-language and built around domestic compliance symbols and user expectations. For Peru market placement, this is generally insufficient without Spanish-facing replacement instructions and Peru importer-aligned documentation.GB 2626-2019 and related GB routes with domestic label expectations NMPA-associated labeling structure for medical masks where relevant |
Peru-facing labelling should provide Spanish guidance for intended use, fit checking, fit check steps, donning/removal procedure, storage/expiry or production-batch logic, and key warnings relevant to dust, aerosol, and biological hazard use. Importer-facing paperwork should be aligned with Callao clearance practice and include consistent model documentation fields.INACAL and sector documentation practice for regulated imported respirators where applicable Import-facing documentation consistency requirements observed in Peruvian customs channels |
The frequent enforcement issue is language and audience mismatch: Chinese-only manuals and labels are usually rejected or corrected in Peru review when claims, warnings, and usage scope are not understandable to the target market and importer workflow.[INFORMATIONAL] For Peru, provide Spanish-ready labelling and instruction sets before shipment. If medical claims are included, keep the language and warning block consistent with the chosen regulatory lane and importer-facing dossier. | INDECOPI / Peruvian authorities2026-06-15 · reference |
| Marking — Model, importer, and Peruvian-relevant safety marks | China domestic marking generally follows GB/CNCA templates with domestic certification symbols and Chinese wording. These templates are not enough for Peru filing when Peru requires local importer-linked and Spanish documentation alignment.GB 2626-2019 / GB 19083-2010 marking and declaration fields CCC mark and Chinese domestic compliance labels |
Peru-side marking for respirators should show model identity, filter/FFP designation used in the chosen Peru lane, batch traceability, manufacturer/importer identity, and any mandatory statements required under the active category documents. For any product with telecom modules, marking should not imply completion of EU-style electrical marks unless those marks are Peru-authorised.Peru occupational import document practice tied to importer-linked traceability INACAL NTP-aligned respirator documentation requirements when category is regulated |
The common gap is a labeling transfer error: using CCC-era domestic marking blocks smooth customs review for Peru because local importer linkage, route declaration, and Peru-market traceability fields are missing.[INFORMATIONAL] For Peru access, the marking gap is mostly documentary architecture, not necessarily test replacement. Align model and traceability fields to the Peru importer workflow and keep domestic China-only certification marks from being used as the sole Peru-facing marker. | INACAL / Peruvian Government2026-06-15 · reference |
| Safety Performance — Filtering Efficiency and Class Mapping | China evaluates KN90/KN95 primarily by GB 2626-2019 industrial respirator criteria (different nomenclature and testing assumptions from EN 149 class mapping). A CNAS/accredited report to GB 2626 supports China market compliance but does not remove the need for Peru mapping when targeting Peru and should not be presented as automatic Peru performance equivalence.GB 2626-2019 — particle respirator performance basis in China CNAS-recognised testing under CNCA routes for applicable classes |
For Peru placement, exporters should map respirator performance against INACAL-adopted NTP references aligned to EN 149 filtering logic (FFP1 / FFP2 / FFP3) or equivalent adopted documents. INACAL references typically emphasise total inward leakage, filter penetration, and quality consistency for workplace PPE. If a category is brought into any mandatory import technical regulation, testing and conformity evidence must match the regulated category and use test methods acceptable under the Peru import-control chain.INACAL-adopted NTP references for respirator-type performance, commonly aligned to EN 149:2001+A1:2009 terminology Ley N. 29783 occupational safety framework (classification and PPE expectation context) |
Peru-facing exporters must avoid direct class transfer assumptions. KN95, KN90, and EN149 labels are not interchangeable unless technical mapping is fully documented and supported with Peru-accepted evidence for the regulated route.[INFORMATIONAL] Class and performance claims for Peru should be re-checked against Peru-facing requirements and terminology. CN GB 2626 evidence is useful for engineering review, but it is not Peru-route performance proof by itself. | INACAL (Instituto Nacional de Calidad)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Horizontal-Regime Triggers and Radio Add-ons | China has separate administrative routes for radio certification and medical-device/respirator domestic lanes. These are domestic routes and do not automatically satisfy Peru entry controls for telecom-triggered and non-telecom respirators.CNCA / SRRC telecom approval channels (where applicable) GB route domestic respirator framework including GB 2626 and GB 19083 |
Peru does not generally impose EU-style mandatory, cross-product horizontal regimes for respirators under RoHS, battery-passport obligations, or outdoor-noise marking. The practical triggers are narrow: if the product includes active radio transmission, MTC telecom homologation applies; if it is a plain respirator without telecom functions, MTC is not the core route. Safety and labels follow the INACAL/MTPE lane and import workflow instead.MTC telecom approval framework for imported products with radio/transmitter features INACAL NTP workplace-product references where relevant |
Do not assume RoHS or battery-regulation style obligations are mandatory in this respiratory lane. Prepare only the Peru-required telecom check when radio is present, then focus evidence on INACAL/MTPE and importer conformance.[INFORMATIONAL] In Peru for respirators, the exporter priority is often: (1) map telecom function; (2) if present, obtain MTC homologation path; (3) keep RoHS/battery/outdoor-noise claims out unless specifically triggered by another product regulation. | Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Critical Classification — PPE Function vs Medical Mask Function | China also separates intents: GB 2626 industrial respirators, GB 19083 medical masks, and YY 0469 surgical masks. However, these domestic lanes are not directly accepted as Peru market lane decisions without local alignment to Peru's importer and occupational-health framework.GB 2626-2019 — industrial respirator route GB 19083-2010 — medical-protective mask route YY 0469-2011 — surgical mask route NMPA registration pathway for medical devices in China |
Purpose drives the regulatory lane in Peru as in most markets: products intended for workplace wearer protection against particles use the MTPE-linked PPE/occupational expectation mapped to INACAL technical references, while products intended for medical/patient use route through health regulation and DIGEMID channels. Mixed claims increase enforcement friction. Medical claims are outside the occupational respirator lane and should not be presented as dual-purpose without proof.Ley N. 29783 and Decreto Supremo 005-2012-TR (workplace health and safety basis) INACAL NTP technical references used for filtering respirator safety and performance expectations Health-side control channels for masks with patient-facing medical claims under DIGEMID |
The frequent Peru export gap is wording drift: a single model labelled as both industrial respirator and surgical medical mask creates uncertain route selection and documentation mismatch at clearance and post-sale inspection. Lock intended use wording, class, and compliance claim in one route before shipping.[INFORMATIONAL] Peru-facing claims for filtering respirators should be single-purpose and route-consistent. If worker protection is the marketed use, treat it as an INACAL/MTPE-oriented occupational PPE lane and keep medical-route claims out unless separately authorised. | Ministerio de Trabajo y Promoción del Empleo (MTPE)2026-06-15 · reference |
