Providing solutions to these challenges, the organisations say that they have the necessary material tested and approved by DEKRA according to specification EN149.  They have production capacity of 4.2 million masks per week from week 15 from the date of start of production. They also have the experts. Fight bundles the expertise of 4 companies at present, and 12 more will onboard during scale up.
