Face Fit Testing - Qualitative

A qualitative face fit test is a simple pass or fail test based on whether the wearer of a mask can detect a test agent. Whilst they are wearing the mask, a test agent (usually Bitrex) is sprayed into a hood worn over the head. If the wearer can detect the test agent then the mask's seal has leaked and does not provide a good fit for the wearer's face under test. Examples of qualitative fit testing methods are:

  • Method based on bitter or sweet-tasting aerosol
  • Method based on odour compounds
