Name: Discussion of Concepts for
Standards for Approval of Respirators
for Use against Chemical, Biological,
Radiological and Nuclear Agents
(CBRN) and Guidelines for their Use;
and Concepts for Standards for a MultiFunction Powered Air Purifying
Respirator (PAPR).
Dates and Times: July 19, 2005; 10
a.m.–4 p.m. July 20, 2005; 8:30 a.m.–3
p.m.
The Meeting on July 19 will address
concepts for standards for CBRN Closed
Circuit, Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) and guidelines for
use of NIOSH approved CBRN
respirators. The Meeting on July 20 will
address concepts for standards for a
CBRN Powered Air Purifying Respirator
and a Multi-Function PAPR.
Place: Holiday Inn Select Pittsburgh
South, 164 Fort Couch Road, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.
Purpose: NIOSH will continue
discussions of concepts for standards
and testing processes for PAPR and
Closed Circuit, SCBA suitable for
respiratory protection against CBRN
agents. NIOSH will also introduce
concepts for establishing multi-function
PAPR requirements and guidelines for
use of NIOSH-approved CBRN
respirators. NIOSH, along with the U.S.
Army Research, Development and
Engineering Command (RDECOM) and
the National Institute for Standards and
Technology (NIST), will present
information to attendees concerning the
concept development for the CBRN
PAPR standard and the CBRN Closed
Circuit, SCBA standard. Participants
will be given an opportunity to ask
questions on these topics and to present
individual comments for consideration.
Interested participants may obtain a
copy of the CBRN PAPR, the MultiFunction PAPR concept paper, the
CBRN Closed Circuit, Self Contained
Breathing Apparatus concept paper, and
concepts for the guidance documents, as
well as earlier versions of other concept
papers used during the standard
development effort, from the NIOSH
National Personnel Protective
Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) web
site, address: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
npptl. The June 20, 2005, concept
papers will be used as the basis for
discussion at the public meeting.

groups, particularly in locations
considered potential terrorism targets,
have been developing and modifying
response and consequence management
plans for domestic security and
preparedness issues. Since the World
Trade Center and anthrax incidents,
most emergency response agencies have
operated with a heightened appreciation
of the potential scope and sustained
resource requirements for coping with
such events. The federal Interagency
Board for Equipment Standardization
and Interoperability (IAB) has worked to
identify personal protective equipment
that is already available on the market
for responders’ use. The IAB has
identified the development of standards
or guidelines for respiratory protection
equipment as a top priority. NIOSH,
NIST, the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration have entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding
defining each agency or organization’s
role in developing, establishing, and
enforcing standards or guidelines for
responders’ respiratory protective
devices. NIST has initiated Interagency
Agreements with NIOSH and RDECOM
to aid in the development of appropriate
protection standards or guidelines.
NIOSH has the lead in developing
standards or guidelines to test, evaluate,
and approve respirators. NIOSH,
RDECOM, and NIST hosted public
meetings on April 17 and 18, 2001; June
18 and 19, 2002; October 16 and 17,
2002; April 29, 2003; June 25, 2003;
October 16, 2003; May 4, 2004; and
December 15, 2004; presenting their
progress in assessing respiratory
protection needs of responders to CBRN
incidents. The methods or models for
developing hazard and exposure
estimates and the status in evaluating
test methods and performance standards
that may be applicable as future CBRN
respirator standards or guidelines were
discussed at these meetings. Three
NIOSH CBRN respirator standards and
several NFPA standards for ensembles,
SCBA, and protective clothing were the
first adopted by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). On February
26, 2004, DHS adopted, as DHS
standards, three NIOSH criteria for
testing and certifying respirators for
protection against CBRN exposures.
NIOSH uses the criteria to test (1) SCBA
for use by emergency responders against
CBRN, (2) PAPR for use by emergency
responders against CBRN exposures,
and (3) escape respirators for protection
against CBRN.
Status: This meeting is hosted by
NIOSH and will be open to the public,
