Barrier Face Mask Testing to CWA 17553:2020

Mechanical, Microbiological / BS EN 14683, BS EN 14683:2019 /

Alongside our Medical and Face Mask testing, we have added Barrier Mask testing to CWA 17553:2020 based on the AFNOR specification

The testing we undertake is:

  • 6.4 Material Filtration Efficiency test to the Methods in EN 14683:2019 + AC:2019 Annex B
  • 6.5 Breathing Resistance and Air Permeability test to the Methods in EN 14683:2019 + AC:2019 Annex C

The Methods used are the same as used for Medical Face Masks, with more lenient restrictions on Filtration Efficiency and Breathability.

 All tests will be carried out with traceable calibrated instrumentation.

We would like to support your efforts by ensuring the equipment is safe and fit for purpose by testing them and providing traceable documentation to prove that your products have been independently validated.

Reviews From Our Happy Clients
We had a requirement to test a sample of a large stock of face masks, to ensure their suitability for use by those supporting the response to the "COVID pandemic".  4ward Testing were recommended to us and they delivered their report well within the agreed timescale. I was impressed with their recognition of the urgency this work required and communications with Polly & Anthony were excellent so I would have no hesitation in using their services again, or in recommending them to others!

I would unconditionally recommend 4ward Testing for swift professional and informative testing based on past experiences with other testing institutes I have used. They are league leaders in my opinion, no red tape, no complicated administrative system, just plain and simple excellent customer service.
