Table L—Process Elements for Evaluating Respirator Performance and Determining APFs.
Process Element |
1—Select respirators to be tested. |
2—Select test environment. |
3—Select test subjects. |
4—(Optional) Perform fit-test screening (QLFT or QNFT) that is supposed to reject those subjects unable to obtain an adequate fit. |
5—Measure respirator performance under test conditions. |
6—Analyze respirator-leakage data and determine APFs for each respirator class. |
