Mask Fit Testing

Published November 20, 2025 | By Ingrid Dammers

Mask Fit Testing

We offer 3M and WorkSafeBC compliant qualitative mask fit testing.

Our instructors are highly experienced in testing and can conduct the full process in as little as 15 minutes.

If you are located in Abbotsford, or anywhere in the Fraser Valley area feel free to contact us to book a time at our #212-2825 Clearbrook Road location.

Please note: This is a qualitative mask fit testing. If your employer requires a quantitative test, please call us and we can assist in finding a location suitable for your needs.

We provide fit testing for a wide range of masks, including:

  • N95 Respiratory Masks (e.g., 3M 1870+, 3M 8210, 3M 1860, 3M 1860S)
  • KN95 Masks (Please confirm with your employer or school if these are accepted)
  • Half and Full Respiratory Protection Masks
  • Other Workplace-Required Masks

Our fit tests are conducted in accordance with CSA and NIOSH standards.

Certification Validity:
Upon successful completion, participants receive workplace and academic-approved certification, valid for one year. Certification is provided immediately after the test.

Cost of Respiratory Mask Fit Testing:

  • N95 Mask Fit Test: $49.99 (no tax added) – We supply 3M 1870+, 3M 8210, 3M 1860, and 3M 1860S masks.
  • Fit Test with Your Own Mask: $44.99 (no tax added) – If you bring a mask not listed above, please confirm its compatibility before registering.

Important: KN95 masks are not accepted by most schools and workplaces. Please confirm with your employer or academic institution whether a 3M mask is required before booking your test.

Fit Testing Devices and Mask Options:
We conduct qualitative fit tests for:

  • N95 and KN95 Respiratory Masks
  • Half and Full Respiratory Masks

If you require fit testing for a mask outside of these options, please contact us in advance to ensure we can accommodate your needs. You’ll be responsible for supplying any mask not listed above.

Requirements for Fit Testing:
To ensure accurate and effective mask fit testing:

  • Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum within 15 minutes before your appointment.
  • All facial hair that may interfere with a proper seal of the mask must be removed before the test can occur. If you have facial hair in this manner, you will be informed and the test will be canceled (As per regulations).
  • If you are required to wear other personal protective equipment (e.g., ear protection, safety goggles, etc.), in the performance of your work, please bring these with you. We may ask you to wear these while performing the test.
  • All masks being tested must meet CSA, NIOSH, or CE requirements. If there is an absence of proper markings on the mask, we will be unable to fit test you with that device.
  • If we are testing a respirator with particulate filter, please bring the filters with you and ensure they are not expired, we presently do not carry spares.
