Luosh Face Mask Testing Process

SELECT YOUR MASK CAREFULLY - ONLY USE ASTM-RATED MASKS THAT MEET PROVEN FACE MASK TESTING STANDARDS

When safety is your concern, choosing the right mask is more than a matter of preference. You have a lot at stake when selecting proper protection for your application. Know how you plan to use your facial protection and select an ASTM-rated mask that is right for you and offers the best protection.

Luosh American Made Face Masks are rated:

ASTM F2100-11 Level III

ASTM International - Leading The Way

ASTM International sets international standards for healthcare best practices, which includes face mask testing and requirements for performance of materials.

The FDA, who oversees marketing and sales of all surgical masks, recommends that 4 standards of mask performance be met:

  1. Fluid Resistance
  2. Differential Pressure (Delta-P)
  3. Filtration Efficiency
  4. Flammability
