Background: In response to 

recommendations made by the National 

Academies of Science during a 

programmatic review, the NIOSH 

Personal Protective Technology 

Conformity Assessment Working Group 

was established in 2011. The goal of this 

group is to prepare a national 

framework establishing criteria, 

including comprehensive and consistent 

processes, to address conformity 

assessment of non-respiratory personal 

protective equipment. Conformity 

assessment is defined as the 

‘‘demonstration that specified 

requirements relating to a product, 

process, system, person or body are 

fulfilled.’’ Conformity assessment 

processes for PPT products are focused 

on product effectiveness and include 

the following primary components: 

Certification (ISO/IEC 17065), 

Inspection (ISO/IEC 17020), Testing 

(ISO/IEC 17025), Accreditation (ISO/IEC 

17011), Surveillance (ISO/IEC 17011, 

ISO/IEC 17065), Supplier’s Declaration 

of Conformity (ISO/IEC 17050), 

Registration (ISO/IEC 17021) and 

Quality Management Systems (ISO/ 

9001). 

The Conformity Assessment Project 

Report and preliminary framework 

documents will be available at 

www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

manner in which computer matching 

involving Federal agencies could be 

performed and adding certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving Federal benefits. Section 

7201 of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101– 

508) further amended the Privacy Act 

regarding protections for such 

individuals. The Privacy Act, as 

amended, regulates the use of computer 

matching by Federal agencies when 

records in a system of records are 

matched with other Federal, state, or 

local government records. It requires 

Federal agencies involved in computer 

matching programs to: 

1. Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agencies participating in the 

matching programs; 

2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board 

approval of the match agreements; 

3. Furnish detailed reports about 

matching programs to Congress and 

OMB; 

4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries 

that the records are subject to matching; 

and, 

5. Verify match findings before 

reducing, suspending, terminating, or 

denying an individual’s benefits or 

payments. 

This matching program meets the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended. 

Date: July 31, 2013.
