Performance testing is indispensable to personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacture and use. Testing assures consumers that a product will perform to its specifications. This is especially important when failure of a product can significantly impact the health and safety of the user. Testing is also used to verify that a product meets regulatory and voluntary standards.
