ASTM has just approved and published a new 16-page standard for single-use (disposable) and reusable face masks, F3502-21 “Standard Specification for Barrier Face Coverings,” developed by its Committee F23 on Personal Protective Clothing and Equipment. It is the first ASTM standard to address this type of product, one that is neither a medical face mask (already covered by ASTM Standard Specification F2100-19) nor a respirator designed to provide inhalation protection to the wearer (as covered by NIOSH regulations at 42 CFR Part 84). Its focus is on performance in three areas: source control and protection, comfort (especially if coverings are to be worn for long periods of time), and potential for reuse.
The new standard applies to coverings intended for the general public and for workers; it includes specific requirements for barrier face coverings such as design and general construction criteria, particle filtration efficiency levels, sizing and fit testing criteria, labeling instructions, and guidance on cleaning and useful life.
