Why is Respirator Testing Needed?

Having personal protective equipment tested by a third-party ensures that products such as Air-Purifying Respirators meet the requirements of the applicable product standards of the country in which they will be used and therefore, that it will not cause harm to the users.

As each country’s regulations, and consequently each standard, are different, it is important to inform the third-party agency of which market the product is intended for, when submitting it for evaluation.
