strategy to address the
recommendations issued by the Institute

Technology (PPT) conformity
assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
November 2010 report the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) made three
recommendations for advancing
conformity assessment for Personal
Protective Technologies (PPT) in the
nation. These recommendations are:
(1) Develop and Implement RiskBased Conformity Assessment Processes
for Non-Respirator PPT; (2) Enhance
Research, Standards Development, and
Communication; and (3) Establish a PPT
and Occupational Safety and Health
Surveillance System.
The report may be accessed, for free,
at: https://www.nap.edu/
catalog.php?record_id=12962.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
NIOSH, NPPTL envisions that PPT
conformity assessment can involve the
following components: standards,
testing, inspection, certification,
registration, accreditation, supplier’s
declaration of conformity (SDoC),
communication, post-market testing and
evaluation, and health surveillance.
NIOSH, NPPTL is already responsible
for certifying respirators for use in the
United States. The management
responsibilities of PPT Program
conformity assessment undertaken by
NIOSH, NPPTL include developing the
strategy to implement the IOM
recommendations.
Near Term Strategy
NIOSH, NPPTL intends to implement
a multi-year strategy to address
Recommendation 1 of the IOM report to
develop and implement risk-based
conformity assessment processes for
non-respirator PPT.
The impacts of non-compliance
(consequences of failure to provide the
expected protection) are best described
in terms of their potential risk to the
user and the independence and rigor of
conformity assessment. This
relationship is described in Gordon
Gillerman’s Making the Confidence
Connection published in ASTM
Standardization News (2004), which can
be viewed at https://www.astm.org/
SNEWS/DECEMBER_2004/gillerman_
dec04.html.
Timeline To Address Recommendation
1
The timeline to address
Recommendation 1 includes, but is not
limited to the following activities
conducted over a two year time period:
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28791
1. defining the standards to be
included in the process;
2. identifying the PPE on the market
which complies with current standards;
3. finalizing the conformity
assessment terminology to be used in
the effort;
4. defining low, medium, and high
levels of risk;
5. assessing available sources (e.g.
surveillance data) to document the risks
of the PPE not working properly and the
risks of noncompliance;
6. defining the level of conformity
assessment, including configuration
management, required for each level of
risk; and
7. defining the types of PPE to be
included in the framework to include
those required by regulation, those
desired by the user, and those that
respond to specific health and safety
needs in the marketplace.
NIOSH, NPPTL will develop a draft
risk-based strategy and solicit public
comment on the strategy. NIOSH,
NPPTL will conduct face-to-face and
virtual public meetings to discuss the
PPT conformity assessment strategy
during the strategy development
process. The proposed strategy will be
published and is expected to serve as a
reference for standards development
organizations.
Stakeholder input to the NIOSH,
NPPTL strategy to address the
recommendations provided in the IOM
report may be submitted to NIOSH
Docket 237 until July 1, 2011.
Dated: May 11, 2011.
