Global guidelines for surgical face mask testing may leave retailers, brands and manufacturers confused or unaware of the latest requirements. Our face mask testing services can help take the complexity out of your supply chain. With UL as your trusted partner, you can expedite production of these essential products to serve public health needs.

We provide solutions for three distinctive types of face masks:

Surgical masks – medical masks with liquid barrier protection
Nonsurgical masks – medical masks with no liquid barrier protection
Nonmedical masks – masks for general public use
Our solutions range from product and packaging testing to assessments on labeling and flammability. We can also provide factory audits and inspections.

Benefits of face mask testing
When conducting product testing and verification, we consider many regulations and standard entities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We also offer quality assurance programs that evaluate your entire operation and can provide facility inspections and training. Consumer and health care workers’ safety and well-being are paramount to our program, and our mission to support public safety and health.

Third-party inspections of consumer goods are a key checkpoint in a global quality assurance program. They help ensure the product meets specification before release and shipment, and help build and maintain consumer trust.
