Development of Korean Representative Headforms for the Total
Inward Leakage Testing on Filtering Facepiece Respirators
The lack of headforms that accurately reflect the head characteristics of Koreans and the
demographic composition of the Korean population can lead to inadequate FFR testing and reduced
effectiveness of FFRs.
Method: Direct measurements of 5,110…
