Face Fit Testing

Tests take approximately 20 minutes. During the test the wearer carries out a series of exercises designed to simulate movement expected in the workplace. The machine detects particles leaking into the mask and at the end of the test indicates whether the test is a pass or fail.

• All individuals must be clean shaven at the time of testing, around the facial area and within the seal of the face mask.
• Individuals must refrain from smoking for 1 hour prior to testing.
• Half and Full face masks must be tested with a P3 filter, or combination filter which includes a P3.
• Confirmation of make and model of mask required to be testing at the time of booking
• If testing on disposable masks, your site would need to provide one mask per person.
• Please also provide a backup mask in the event of any failures.
• If you normally wear protective goggles or hard hat when you wear your facepiece, you will be asked to wear these also during the fit test.
