China's daily output of face masks reached 116 million units as of Feb. 29, 12 times the figure reported on Feb. 1, as production expansion moves into top gear, said the National Development and Reform Commission.
Rising with the speed of production is the workload of China's quality inspection departments.
A majority of medical materials such as masks and protective clothing produced in southern China are sent to laboratories of Guangdong Medical Devices Quality Surveillance and Test Institute, where Huang Minju and her colleagues carefully tested and checked them one by one to make sure they meet national standards.

In China, medical masks are classified into three categories -- medical protective masks, surgical masks and ordinary medical masks -- offering different levels of protection and subject to different standards, Huang said.
"Substandard products will be returned," she said. Strict inspection helps guarantee the quality of medical supplies on sale, as only up-to-standard ones can keep doctors and nurses safe. Ramped up production and quality inspection have played an important role in China's rapid control of the pandemic.
No one has contracted the virus among the over 40,000 medical workers who were sent to aid Hubei from across China, Ding Xiangyang, deputy secretary-general of the State Council, told a press conference on March 6.
"Many of the medical supplies arrived at Hubei only after we tested them, including the masks. Facts have proved that their quality is reliable, and they've protected our doctors and nurses," Huang said.
