Because of its expertise, the IRSST was mandated by the Québec government at the outset of the pandemic to perform tests in order to certify the quality of the supply of barrier masks and N95-type respiratory protective devices (RPD) for workers in Québec.
The Institute is now offering a fee-based service to evaluate the efficacy of respiratory protective devices (RPD) and barrier masks. This expertise is available to businesses and organizations that purchase or manufacture these types of masks and wish to evaluate their efficacy.
