This situation also makes it difficult for users to decide appropriate RPE based on quality and standard compliance. The tendency of consumers to choose RPE is mainly based on the price but not the technical aspect of RPE. Hence, the RPE they purchased not necessary enhance user protection, as there is no guidance available to assist user before they purchase the most appropriate RPE. This study describes market surveillance testing of FFP2 respirator from 30 different brand in Malaysia. The objective is to determine performance requirements required by the Malaysia standard. 3 types of testing were used on this study Filter Penetration, Breathing Resistance and Carbon Dioxide Content. All testing was carried out based on Malaysia Standard; MS 2323:2010 and MS2553:2014.All 30 sample were passed the breathing resistance and carbon dioxide content except 10 brand was failed the filter penetration testing.
