These rules are in place to help minimize the risk of injury to the eyes, head, respiratory system and other vulnerable areas of the body. While the packaging and educational materials surrounding respirators and other protective face coverings are well known, there is far less standardization for reusable face masks, which have become necessary due to COVID-19 health concerns. That could soon change, as ASTM International is leading the charge to establish standards for these types of masks, including specific requirements for design, performance, size, fit, and overall construction.
