BYD Statement on NIOSH Testing

LOS ANGELES - May 13, 2020 - PRLog -- BYD masks submitted for NIOSH testing passed the physical assessment portion of that testing.

NIOSH found no issues with the quality of the masks, BYD's production line or manufacturing procedures. During the Underwriters Laboratories inspections in China there were findings related to documentation control paperwork. All are easily fixable.

As a part of the NIOSH approval procedure, NIOSH denied the current submission and asked BYD to implement a Corrective Action Plan and resubmit the application for new approval. BYD is in daily contact with NIOSH and will coordinate with the agency to complete the qualification procedure as instructed by NIOSH by the end of May or early June.

BYD is manufacturing a high-quality product that has already passed NIOSH exhale, inhale and N95 NaCl tests.
