what all standards apply in the making of dust masks. our sub contractor is supplying to their employees masks (made in china). there are no markings on the mask cover, except CE compliant. could anyone advice please.

Not quite clear what you're actually asking for here Raiz.
I'm assuming that you aren't in the EU as the relevant EN isn't provided on the "dust masks" even though a [potentially dubious] CE mark is.
Without wishing to discourage you or be unnecessarily cruel as it is obvious that you are trying to improve things; but I've watched your postings over the recent weeks and have some concerns about your company position and associated resources.

yes Mr. Frank, my company is based in Middle East, where to get things implemented one need to initiate himself. my concern is on the quality of these ordinary dust masks. with a 'CE complaint' mark plus the 'made in China' mark on the dust mask cover, i am quite confused. Hence asked the query as to what are the CE requirements. Hope i am clear this time.

I would be very suspicious of these. The designation 'CE' is supposed to mean manufactured to European Standards and therefore marketable anywhere within the European trade area.
However, there should be other markings. The masks should have the standard to which they conform stamped on them as well. A typical standard would be EN 149:2001, with a designation of FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3(the best) to indicate the protection factor to be expected when in a dusty atmosphere.
Without these markings I would not use them. They may only be to DIY standard (which does not guarantee any protection at all).

Raiz - Janes response is the best.
Don't be discouraged - we all had to learn somehow and I suspect that the conventional routes that we take for granted in the UK aren't as accessible to you.
Come on folks - at least the guy's trying to improve things!
