description abstract	This standard provides guidance on how to conduct fit testing of tight-fitting respirators and appropriate methods to be used. Fit testing is only one element of a complete respiratory protection program. Examples of complete respiratory protection programs are defined in ANSI Z88.2, 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA), etc. Purpose. This standard provides requirements for conducting respirator fit testing and includes: – qualifications for fit test operators – specific fit test methods – interpretation of fit test results – record keeping – methods to validate new fit test methods The intent of fit testing is to evaluate sealing surface leakage. Other sources of leakage may contribute to the total leakage detected.
