ASTM F1862 standards call for performance of medical face masks, including a requirement for fluid resistance and particulate filtration for all 3 levels of masks. It also call for mask packaging to be clearly labeled with the level of protection in one of three levels: 1, 2 or 3. This new standard reinforces the important of labeling to identify protection levels, based on fluid resistance, filtration, and breathability. ASTM F1862 is recognized by the FDA as the standard for medical face masks.
