This lab conducts the N95 and other respiratory PPE performance tests and certifies compliance of production to support workplace respiratory safety. Lots of interesting work even before COVID. Firefighters self contained breathing units and positive pressure units for high risk operations with chemicals and biologics are really interesting technologies and some of the testing is intense.
They do not test or certify face barriers (the masks we wear to the grocery store). The standard for face barriers requires performance testing at an accredited lab and based on that and a reasonable quality management system the manufacturer declares conformity of their products.
