ABOUT THIS GUIDE

The National Institute of Justice is the focal point for providing support to State and local law

enforcement agencies in the development of counterterrorism technology and standards,

including technology needs for chemical and biological defense. In recognizing the needs of

State and local emergency first responders, the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at

the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), supported by the National Institute

of Justice (NIJ), the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG), the U.S. Army Soldier and

Biological Chemical Command, and the Interagency Board for Equipment Standardization and

Interoperability (IAB), is developing chemical and biological defense equipment guides. The

guides will focus on chemical and biological equipment in areas of detection, personal

protection, decontamination, and communication. This document focuses specifically on

assisting the emergency first responder community in the evaluation and purchase of personal

protective equipment.

The long range plans are to: (1) subject existing personal protective equipment to laboratory

testing and evaluation against a specified protocol, and (2) conduct research leading to the

development of multiple series of documents, including national standards, user guides, and

technical reports. It is anticipated that the testing, evaluation, and research processes will take

several years to complete; therefore, the National Institute of Justice has developed this initial

guide for the emergency first responder community in order to facilitate their evaluation and

purchase of personal protective equipment.

In conjunction with this program, additional guides, as well as other documents, are being issued

in the areas of chemical agent and toxic industrial material detection equipment, biological agent

detection equipment, decontamination equipment, and communication equipment.

This Volume, IIa, of the Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for

Emergency First Responders, which focuses particularly on respiratory protection. It contains

the information data sheets that were used to support the personal protective equipment

evaluation detailed in Volume I. The compilation of data in Volume IIa is the result of the

merger of several data acquisition methods used independently by NIST and TSWG.

The information contained in this guide has been obtained through literature searches and market

surveys. The vendors were contacted multiple times during the preparation of this guide to

ensure data accuracy. In addition, the information is supplemented with test data obtained from

other sources (e.g., Department of Defense), if available. It should also be noted that the purpose

of this guide is not to provide recommendations but rather to serve as a means to provide

information to the reader to compare and contrast commercially available personal protective

equipment. Reference herein to any specific commercial products, processes, or services by

trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise does not necessarily constitute or imply its

endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the United States Government. The information

and statements contained in this guide shall not be used for the purposes of advertising, nor to

imply the endorsement or recommendation of the United States Government.

GUIDE FOR THE SELECTION OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE

EQUIPMENT FOR EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDERS

(RESPIRATORY PROTECTION)

This guide includes information intended to be useful to the emergency first responder

community in the selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes chemical and

biological protective clothing and respiratory equipment for different applications. This Volume,

IIa, of the Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for Emergency First

Responders, includes details on the 69 respiratory protective items referenced in Volume I.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Guide for the Selection of Personal Protective Equipment for Emergency First Responders

includes information intended to be useful to the emergency first responder community in the

selection of PPE. Due to the large number of personal protective equipment items identified for

the guide, the guide is separated into four volumes. Volume I serves as the selection tool for all

PPE items while Volume IIa serves as a repository for the respiratory PPE data sheets; Volume

IIb serves as a repository for the percutaneous (garments) PPE data sheets; and Volume IIc

serves as a repository for the percutaneous (apparel other than garments) PPE data sheets.

2. IDENTIFICATION OF PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

An extensive market survey was conducted to identify commercially available personal

protective equipment. This market survey encompassed the assessment of past market surveys,

identification of new equipment, and interaction with numerous equipment vendors.

2.1 Identification of New Equipment

A variety of sources were utilized to identify commercially available personal protective

equipment, including a Commerce Business Daily (CBD) Announcement, literature searches,

database searches, Internet searches, technical conferences, and technical contacts. These

sources resulted in the identification of 69 respiratory protective equipment items.

2.2 Vendor Contact

Vendors were contacted two separate times in order to obtain additional product information, as

well as to finalize their specific equipment data for inclusion in the guide. An initial contact

occurred in the Fall of 1999, at the Ninth International Society for Respiratory Protection (ISRP)

Conference held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the manufacturers and vendors supplied

detailed information about their products.

The second contact was made during March 2001. Each vendor again received a facsimile or an

electronic mail message that contained the data sheets for their specific equipment item(s), the

selection factors that were developed to assist with the selection and purchase of the most

appropriate equipment, and the results of the evaluation of the respiratory protective equipment

against the selection factors. The vendors were asked to review the data sheets and tables for

completeness and accuracy of the incorporated data.

Technology The S10, SF10, CT12, or FM12 mask may be changed from negative to

positive pressure simply by exchanging the standard front cover for one

containing the biased exhale valve option. In the Avon respirators, the

unique folded acoustic horn-shaped primary speech module (PSM) houses

the normal exhalation valve within a cone. The outer edge of the cone

forms a seat for a second spring-loaded exhalation valve, giving a

positively biased exhalation pressure. The front cover of the PSM,

suitably modified, provides a simple means of holding the positive

pressure exhalation valve in place.

Stock Number Not specified

Protection Type Respiratory

Equipment Category SCBA—a simple modification for the S10 and FM12 families of military

respirator that enables the masks to be used with either a conventional

filter or a positive pressure demand valve, instantly switching from one to

the other.

Current User(s) The BioPak 240 is widely used by the U. S. Government and Military.

The BioPak was designed for mine rescue applications in the late 1980s.

From its introduction, it has been tested and used in many military and

government applications. The following is a partial list of users and

applications of the BioPak:

1) Self-Contained Toxic Protection Outfit (STEPO) The BioPak was

tested for this program in 1988. The total number of systems to be

produced for the STEPO program is 1,350. Their primary user is

Army EOD for disposal of Toxic Agents in fifty-three sites

throughout the United States and Europe.

2) The On Site Inspection Agency (OSIA) uses systems for inspection

during verification of missile treaties in the former Soviet Union.

3) Washington, DC Capitol Police Bomb Squad. Their systems are for

protection of the Capitol and associated facilities.

4) Philadelphia City Bomb Squad. Their systems are used in conjunction

with the operation of the city’s Bomb Squad.

5) Domestic Preparedness/Weapons of Mass Destruction Program:

Atlanta, GA; Arlington, VA; San Antonio, TX; Dallas and Ft. Worth,

TX; and Jersey City, NJ has purchased and been trained on the

BioPak.

6) Duquesne Light Nuclear Power Plant has over 100 systems used in

their facility. Their containment building is sub-atmospheric

emergency fire fighting, and requires SCBA. The BioPak 240 gives

them the long duration required to perform maintenance work. They

are approved to use their units for emergency firefighting.

7) Japanese National Police Authority. We modified our standard

BioPak 60 to meet their needs in responding to chemical agent events,

such as Sarin Gas attacks in subways. After gaining acceptance of

our changes to the BioPak 60, we made it our standard unit. The
E−19 ID# 8

changes were also adopted by some city fire departments such as

Nagoya.

8) The BioPak 240 and 60 are widely used in mining and tunneling.

9) The Boston Fire Department has over 50 BioPak 240 units for

tunneling. The Massachusetts State Police has over 80 BioPak 60

units for use in the new Ted Williams tunnel.

10) Government/Military Classified Applications Information on these

items are on a need to know basis.

11) Tech Escort. The U.S. Army uses the BioPak 240 for escorting

munitions when a long-term breathing apparatus is required.

General

Name Viking Digital SCBA

ID# 28

Technology SCBA; the Viking Digital provides maximum respiratory protection in

IDLH atmospheres. It was designed with firefighters in mind, however it

has applications in police and HAZMAT instances. It can be ordered with

a 30 min, 45 min, or 60 min cylinder. This SCBA has many unique

features including an in-mask light display providing the following

information: cylinder pressure status, acknowledgement of radio

transmission, and activation of the “end of service alarm.” For police

applications, the lights inside the inner nosecup make the Viking Digital

very stealth. Radio interface with an in-mask microphone and a silent, low

pressure lighted alarm that only the user can observe, provides the needed

information without any noise. Sanitizing the facemask is simple because

it is fully submersible for cleaning. The waterproof microphone attached

inside the facemask reduces external noise while transmitting with the

option for hands free radio transmission.

Name Interspiro Spiroscape Escape BA

ID# 29

 

Technology Spiroscape is the first emergency breathing apparatus to overcome the

practical limitations of demand (unpredictable duration) and constant flow

(CO2 build up or heavy cylinder weight) type systems. Unique spiroscape

air delivery system features an inner mask with exhalation valve and air

supply tube. This allows CO2 to be expelled from the hood optimizing the

use of fresh air from the cylinder without the need for a demand valve.

This unique constant flow system assures a predictable duration for air

delivery. Patented auto hatch/safety valve automatically opens if air

supply is exhausted to prevent employee suffocation. Can be used as

standby fresh air hatch in staging areas. The auto hatch/safety valve also

eliminates the need for a separate low air alarm system.

Developer Litton Life Support originally designed the LITPAC II to meet an Air

Force requirement for a complete chemical and biological protection

ensemble suitable for fire fighting. The original requirement was for

10000 SCBA with special design requirements for duration, profile, weight

and breathing performance. Ten prototypes were built and sold to the Air

Force for operational testing and evaluation. After assessing the results of

the Air Force and in-house testing, many ergonomic improvements were

incorporated into the unit. DOD funding for the LITPAC was canceled,

but Litton Life Support decided to complete the development of the

LITPAC II and to address the needs of this identified niche market.

Name 9 mtr Unpowered Fresh-Air Hose System

ID# 38

Technology Hose system; fresh-air supply equipment. CE approved to EN138, Class

2, powered fresh-air system allows the wearer to operate in a confined area

for longer periods than unpowered equipment permits, or to do heavier

tasks, including work in dangerous or toxic areas which may be deficient

in oxygen. Utilizing the same full facemask, waist-mounted hose coupling

and 9 m hose, as the unpowered system, the Mini Turbine powered system

has a twin hose for fitting on the facemask incorporating an overflow valve

to allow excessive air to escape. The intake strainer at the end of the

unpowered hose is removed and attached to the powered Mini Turbine and

is then connected to an electrical supply. Alternative powered hoses are

available from 10 m to 40 m in length. The Mini Turbine, which can be

placed up to 40 m from the contaminated area, draws air from the

immediate vicinity through a coarse, washable sponge filter and delivers

air through a hose to one or two users.

General

Name MSA OptimAir® MM 2K PAPR

ID# 43

Technology The unit filters particulates and provides respirable air directly to the

Ultravue or Ultra Elite Facepiece. Since it does not have a breathing tube,

the unit is more compact than other PAPRs, enhancing user

maneuverability and simplifying decontamination. OptimAir* MM 2K

PAPR with Type HE OptiFilter* XL Cartridge is smaller, lighter, and less

expensive, thanks largely to a new NiMH battery pack and dual-rate smart

charger. The low-profile NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery pack is

lightweight (12.5 oz.), fits close to the body, and is small enough to fit in

most pockets. The battery provides 8 h of continuous use, lasting a full

work shift. Another benefit is that NiMH batteries do not have a “memory

effect” like NiCad batteries. The sealed, water-resistant battery pack is

designed for easy shower decontamination. The dual-rate smart charger is

a standard accessory with this unit. The charger can recharge a battery in

less than 3 h. An LED indicates battery condition: fast charge, fully

charged, or battery fault. The lightweight, compact design of the OptimAir

MM 2K PAPR is well suited for abatement, nuclear, and other industries

with hazardous particulate environments. The water-resistant filter has an

optional prefilter and cover. Complete units include motor/blower, NiMH

battery, dual-rate charger, one Type HE OptiFilter XL Cartridge, urethanecoated nylon web belt, and choice of Ultravue or Ultra Elite Facepiece.

The “2K PAPR” is a direct replacement for the OptimAir MM PAPR.

is the future of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Comfortable,

wide-vision Ultra Elite facepiece and clean, low profile mask-mounted

regulator with large shutoff button. High-strength yet lightweight cylinder

options and advanced Black Rhino or Vulcan carrier/harness assembly.

MMR Xtreme Air Masks are the superior options available on the Ultralite

ABOUT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CORRECTIONS

STANDARDS AND TESTING PROGRAM

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is sponsored by the Office of

Science and Technology of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), U.S. Department of Justice. The program

responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, directed NIJ to encourage

research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results to Federal,

State, and local agencies.

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is an applied research effort that

determines the technological needs of justice system agencies, sets minimum performance standards for

specific devices, tests commercially available equipment against those standards, and disseminates the

standards and the test results to criminal justice agencies nationally and internationally.

The program operates through:

The Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC), consisting of

nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners from Federal, State, and local agencies, which assesses

technological needs and sets priorities for research programs and items to be evaluated and tested.

The Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology,

which develops voluntary national performance standards for compliance testing to ensure that individual

items of equipment are suitable for use by criminal justice agencies. The standards are based upon laboratory

testing and evaluation of representative samples of each item of equipment to determine the key attributes,

develop test methods, and establish minimum performance requirements for each essential attribute. In

addition to the highly technical standards, OLES also produces technical reports and user guidelines that

explain in nontechnical terms the capabilities of available equipment.

The National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC), operated by a grantee,

which supervises a national compliance testing program conducted by independent laboratories. The

standards developed by OLES serve as performance benchmarks against which commercial equipment is

measured. The facilities, personnel, and testing capabilities of the independent laboratories are evaluated by

OLES prior to testing each item of equipment, and OLES helps the NLECTC staff review and analyze data.

Test results are published in Equipment Performance Reports designed to help justice system procurement

officials make informed purchasing decisions.

Publications are available at no charge through the National Law Enforcement and Corrections

Technology Center. Some documents are also available online through the Internet/World Wide Web. To
