The face fit testing in Harrow consists of a taste test to ensure delegates can taste the solution and that the test is accurately undertaken. They will then need to complete the fit test by completing a series of exercises, if they can taste the solution then the RPE is revised and the exercises are repeated until the solution can no longer be tasted, ensuring a correctly fitted piece of RPE.
