The Interagency Board provides subject matter expertise on equipment used by first responders and other emergency management professionals.
The Interagency Board maintains the Standardized Equipment List (SEL) which has most of the equipment types listed on the Authorized Equipment List.
The numbering scheme for individual items on the Authorized Equipment List provides direct cross-referencing with the Standardized Equipment List.
The Standardized Equipment List has relevant standards, training requirements and operating considerations for many of the equipment items.
A link to the Standardized Equipment List will appear on each equipment item page.About the System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders
The System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program produces market survey reports which provide operating information on individual commercially available items.
Most equipment items have reports.
The program site uses the same item numbers as the Authorized Equipment List and a link to their site will appear on each equipment item page.
