N95 Respirator Fit Testing in Singapore
Overview
N95 respirator fit testing determines whether a respirator forms an adequate seal on the wearer’s face. A proper fit is essential to ensure effective protection against airborne contaminants and hazardous particles in the workplace.
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) is available for individuals and organisations that require N95 respirator fit testing, in accordance with SS 548:2022.
What is Qualitative Fit Testing?
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) is a pass-or-fail method used to assess whether an N95 respirator forms an adequate seal on the wearer’s face. A taste-based or irritant-based challenge agent is used to detect potential leakage around the respirator seal.
All fit testing is conducted by trained Respirator Fit Test Operators in accordance with SS 548:2022.
