Surgical Face Mask Test Package (for Domestic Market)
Background
Putting on a face mask has become part of our routine. While face masks are not hard to get your hands on these days, thanks to a whole raft of mask manufacturers and start-up brands here in Hong Kong, it’s still important to choose the right one for you, whether it’s the functionality or appearance.
In August 2022, Hong Kong’s Consumer Council published its monthly magazine regarding their surveillance where 30 samples of masks were collected from the market between April and June.
The overall performance for bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) and particle filtration efficiency (PFE) are satisfactory, but the performance in the synthetic blood penetration test, the bacterial content test, and the ear strap rupture test are not as ideal.
