In May 2025, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) officially released the latest version of its core standard for medical face masks—ASTM F2100:2025. This marks a significant update for manufacturers exporting medical masks to the U.S., introducing new testing requirements.
As an ISO 17025-accredited international laboratory recognized by IAS (International Accreditation Service), JJR Laboratory in Chinaresponded promptly and has successfully upgraded its testing capabilities to meet the new standard. We are now offering globally recognized testing servicesunder the ASTM F2100:2025 standard—helping your products comply with the new regulations and enter the U.S. market without delay.
The differential pressure (ΔP) test method has been revised from the previous version and is now standardized to EN 14683:2025 Annex C, one of the internationally recognized standards for medical mask testing.
The acceptable ΔP limits for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 masks have been adjusted. This includes changes in both numerical values and measurement units.
