Summary
• ALL MANUFACTURERS’ FILTER QUALITY HAS VARIED DURING
LAST TEN YEARS AS SHOWN BY THE FILTER TEST FACILITY
(FTF) REPORTS
• A NEED FOR MANUFACTURERS’ TO TIGHTEN QUALITY
CONTROL SPECIFICALLY WITH MANUFACTURING DEFECTS
• A NEED FOR QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTIONS OF
MANUFACTURERS IN ADDITION TO AUDITS
