Face Fit testing is a method of ensuring that a facepiece or mask is tight-fitting and seals adequately to the wearer’s face. 

The performance of tight-fitting facepieces depends on achieving continuous contact between the wearer’s skin and the seal of the mask.

2. Don’t smoke or vape, eat, chew gum or drink anything (other than water) for the 30 minutes prior to the test
3. Bring the facepiece, including any filters if used.
