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, which created NIJ and directed it 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 request a document or additional information, call 800-248-2742 or 301-519-5060, or

Executive Summary

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 technological needs for chemical and biological defense. In

recognizing the needs of state and local emergency first responders, the National Institute

of Standards and Technology, working with the National Institute of Justice, the

Technical Support Working Group, the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical

Command, and the Interagency Board, is developing chemical and biological defense

equipment guides. The guides will focus on chemical and biological equipment in areas

of detection, personal protection, decontamination, medical, and communication. This

document focuses specifically on chemical detection equipment for chemical agents and

toxic industrial materials and was developed to assist the emergency first responder

community in the evaluation and purchase of chemical detection equipment.

The long range plans are to: (1) subject existing chemical detection equipment to

laboratory testing and evaluation against a specified protocol, and (2) conduct research

leading to the development of a 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 chemical detection equipment.

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

are being issued in the areas of biological agent detection equipment, decontamination

equipment, personal protective equipment, medical kits and equipment, and

communications equipment used in conjunction with protective clothing and respiratory

equipment.

This specific work is Volume II of the Guide for the Selection of Chemical Agent

and Toxic Industrial Material Detection Equipment for Emergency First Responders. It

contains the information data sheets that were used to support the detection equipment

evaluation detailed in Volume I. The compilation of data in Volume II 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 detection equipment. Reference herein to

any specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark,

SECTION 1.0

INTRODUCTION

The Guide for the Selection of Chemical Agent and Toxic Industrial Material

Detection Equipment for Emergency First Responders includes information intended to

be useful to the emergency first responder community in the selection of chemical agent

and toxic industrial material detection equipment. Due to the large number of chemical

detection equipment items identified for the guide, the guide is separated into two

volumes. Volume I serves as the selection tool while Volume II serves as a repository for

the detection equipment data sheets.

This specific work represents Volume II of the Guide for the Selection of

Chemical Agent and Toxic Industrial Material Detection Equipment for Emergency First

Responders. Volume II includes three sections and six appendices. Section 1.0 is the

introduction. Section 2.0 discusses the market survey that was conducted to identify the

148 commercially available chemical agent and TIM detection equipment items. Section

3.0 provides a description of the thirty-eight data fields that were identified for providing

information relating to the equipment. Appendix A lists the references that were used in

developing this document. Appendix B sequentially indexes the chemical detectors by

detector identification number and includes the manufacturers. Appendix C

alphabetically indexes the chemical detectors by the equipment names. Appendix D

alphabetically indexes the chemical detectors by the manufacturer names. Appendix E

provides the immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) values for the chemical

agents and most of the TIMs that are listed. Appendix F contains the data sheets for each

item of chemical detection equipment.

SECTION 2.0

MARKET SURVEY

An extensive market survey was conducted to identify commercially available

chemical agent and TIM detection equipment. This market survey encompassed the

assessment of past market surveys, identification of new equipment, and interaction with

numerous equipment vendors. Section 2.1 provides a summary of the assessment of

previous market surveys. Section 2.2 provides the identification of new and updated

equipment, and section 2.3 provides a summary of information obtained through

interfacing with the vendors.

2.1 Past Market Surveys

Several previously conducted market surveys were reviewed during the

development of this guide. A complete list of these surveys is provided in Appendix B.

However, two specific sources proved to be the most valuable in the market survey

conducted for this guide. These documents are:

• Worldwide Chemical Detection Equipment Handbook

• Final Report on Chemical Detection Equipment Market Survey for Emergency

Responders.

Detailed references are provided for each of these market surveys in Appendix B.

The Worldwide Chemical Detection Equipment Handbook was published in

October 1995, and serves as a compendium of information pertaining to chemical warfare

agent detection systems. It includes U.S. and foreign military chemical warfare agent

detectors, as well as commercially available detectors. It is being used worldwide.

The Final Report on Chemical Detection Equipment Market Survey for

Emergency Responders was published in September 1998, and serves as a compendium

of commercially available chemical agent detectors.

The review of these two documents resulted in the inclusion of approximately 62

detection equipment items within this guide.

2.2 Identification of New Equipment

Since the past market surveys focused on detection of chemical agents, there were

very few detectors identified that detected TIMs. Therefore, a follow-on market survey

was initiated to obtain TIM detection equipment. This market survey was also expanded

to include chemical agent detection equipment that had been developed since the 1998

market survey.

A variety of techniques were utilized to identify applicable detection equipment

including a Commerce Business Daily (CBD) Announcement, literature searches,
6

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

techniques resulted in the identification of 86 additional detection equipment items.

2.3 Vendor Contact

Vendors were contacted at three separate times in order to obtain additional

information, as well as to finalize their specific equipment data for inclusion in the guide.

The first contact occurred in the last quarter of 1999. Each of the vendors received a

facsimile or an electronic mail message containing the data sheets for their specific

equipment item(s). They were asked to identify missing data and certify the accuracy of

the existing data.

The second contact occurred during the March/April 2000 time period in order to

finalize the equipment data sheets and the information contained in the guide. This

contact was conducted by facsimile and electronic mail. The vendors were given two

weeks to review the information.

The third contact was made during the third week of April 2000. 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 detection equipment against the selection factors. The vendors were

asked to review the data sheets and tables for completeness and accuracy of the

incorporated data.

Detects GA at 90 mg/mL2

Detects GB at 90 mg/mL2

Detects GD at 90 mg/mL2

The M21 is “trained” to recognize agent in the presence of most 

common battlefield interferants. However, large quantities of military 

Halon (a fire suppressant), organophosphorus insecticides, and 

alcohols could cause a false positive. The presence of direct, low 

angle sunlight in the field of view may cause blister false alarms.
