Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Name: Continued Discussions of
Concepts for Standards for Approval of
Respirators for Use against Chemical,
Biological, Radiological and Nuclear
Agents (CBRN) and Concepts for
Standards for Industrial, Powered Air
Purifying Respirator (PAPR).
Date and Time: December 13, 2005, 9
a.m.–4 p.m.
The meeting will address concepts for
standards for CBRN Closed Circuit, SelfContained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA),
CBRN PAPR, and Industrial PAPR.
Place: Sheraton Station Square Hotel,
300 W. Station Square Drive, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania 15219–1162.
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 continue
conceptual discussions for establishing
Industrial PAPR requirements. NIOSH,
along with the United States 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 Industrial
PAPR concept paper, the CBRN Closed
Circuit and SCBA concept paper, 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 November 4, 2005 concept

paper will be used as the basis for
discussion at the public meeting.
Municipal, state, and Federal responder
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;
December 15, 2004; and July 19 and 20,
2005; 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,
