Subject: NFPA 1994 First Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (F2016)

According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot.

30 Members Eligible to Vote

8 Not Returned (Buck, Kelly, Kirk, North, Ott, Starrett, Wisner, Ziskin)

16 Affirmative on All Revisions

6 Affirmative with Comment on one or more Revisions (Baxter, Greene, Kienzle, Lancaster, Ormond,

Stull)

4 Negative on one or more Revisions (Baxter, Lovasic, Lancaster, Ormond)

2 Abstentions on one or more Revisions (Lovasic, Haines)

The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of

the vote for each first/second revision.

There are two criteria necessary for each first/second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2)

affirmative 2/3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined.

(1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes

are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote ÷ 2 = 10 + 1 = 11)

(2) Example for Affirmative 2/3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not

return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample

calculation: 20 members eligible to vote – 1 not returned – 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 )

As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

First Revision No. 157-NFPA 1994-2015 [ Global Input ]

Add a new Section 7.1. Renumber existing 7.1 as 7.2, etc.

The 15-minute and cumulative permeation end points should all be specified to the same number of decimalplaces (HD 1.33 ug/cm2 and soman 0.43 ug/cm2 versus TICs 2.0 ug/cm2) to ensure that the precision isconsistent across all specifications. In 8.7.4.4 the analytical system sensitivity is specified as 0.1 ug/cm2, and thiswould need to be changed to 0.10 ug/cm2 if two decimal places are required.

Stull, Jeffrey O.

This requirement should be applied to any Class 2 ensemble.




Lovasic, Susan L.

While FR-40 is correct, I am placing a negative here since a similar new section requiring ensemble THL to bemeasured for Class 4 ensembles was NOT included as expected in this First Revision Ballot. It (and all associatedsections related to Class 4 ensemble THL measurements) will need to be added to this standard. The proposednew section wording was: Class 4 ensembles shall be tested for total heat loss using a thermal manikin asspecified in section 8.xx (--- Test) and the result shall be printed on the product label. The total heat loss shall bemeasured for one representative certified ensemble configuration using a thermal manikin as specified in section8.xx (---- Test) and the result shall be printed on the product label.

Interface gasket may not provide sufficient material for preconditioning and/or permeation testing. Furtherspecifications need to be supplied for clarifications. The 15-minute and cumulative permeation end points shouldall be specified to the same number of decimal places (HD 1.33 ug/cm2 and soman 0.43 ug/cm2 versus TICs 2.0ug/cm2) to ensure that the precision is consistent across all specifications. In 8.7.4.4 the analytical systemsensitivity is specified as 0.1 ug/cm2, and this would need to be changed to 0.10 ug/cm2 if two decimal places arerequired.

Submittal Date: Sun Mar 01 09:45:13 EST 2015

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The TC believes that environmental conditions first responders face are complex and diverse. Totalheat loss (THL) is a very good test for evaluating the ability of materials/gear to manage heat stressbut it only evaluates these properties at one condition (77°F, 65% RH). Thus, the THL test does notreflect the full extent of material breathability. Materials with similar THL values can perform quitedifferently in conditions different than the THL test conditions. These conditions include warmer andlow-level radiant conditions (e.g., from the sun, from hot surfaces, from nearby fires), which generallycreate higher challenges to effective heat stress management that can also be encountered by firstresponders. Knowledge of these performance differences may help with PPE decisions. Evaporativeresistance (Ret) testing is conducted at warmer conditions than THL (95°F: 40% RH). Therefore, Retcould help provide some of that insight, and is a widely recognized test in clothing science. The THLtest and the Ret test are part of the same ASTM standard and use the same testing equipment. Retonly measures evaporative heat loss (breathability) whereas THL includes non-evaporative forms ofheat loss as well.

The proposed maximum level of 20 is based on research reported in Umbach, K.H., Functionalweather protective clothing with good clothing physiology wear properties, Melliand Textile reports, 67(1986), 277-287. This work correlated test subject responses with garments constructed in a range ofevaporative resistance with the finding that garments having a range of Ret from 13 to 20 20kPa•m2/W were found to be satisfactory or breathable; though uncomfortable at a high activity rate.

8.5.5.3

The test subject shall don the protective ensemble and respirator in accordance with the manufacturer'sinstructions in a clean area separated from the test chamber Clean filters shall be inserted into the filterholders, and then slides shall be inserted into the stages of the impactors that will be used to measure theconcentration and size distribution of the aerosol. Care shall be taken to ensure that the slides areproperly labeled, carefully handled, and properly positioned. All flow-measurement devices and monitorsshall be observed to ensure that they are functioning properly. The wind speed, RH, and temperaturecontrollers for the wind room shall be set to the required settings and the blower turned on .

8.5.5.4

The principal test operator shall note on the test run data sheet that the complete ensemble is properlydonned and shall note any taping or anything that does not represent doctrine wear. The test operatorshall also ensure that the ensemble is properly fit on the test subject and that the test subject has beeninformed of the proper execution of the motion routine.

8.5.5.5

Once When the test subject is prepared and the test chamber has reached the conditionsspecified outlined in 8.5.5.1, the test subject shall enter the exposure chamber and be properlypositioned in the wind. The airflows of the filter samplers and the impactor shall be initiatedsimultaneously and the time recorded (t = 0 minutes).

Rest (standing facing wind) for 1 minute.

8.5.5.9

At the conclusion of the 30-minute test period, the test subject shall exit the test chamber and enter thedoffing area.

8.5.5.8

The test subject shall then be assisted in doffing the ensemble to prevent contact of the outside surface ofthe ensemble with the subject's subject’s skin or indicator garments .

8.5.5.9

When all the test subject's clothing has been removed, the test subject's skin will be sampled to recoveraerosol that has deposited. This skin-rinse sampling shall be performed by pressing a tube against theskin in the area to be sampled and adding 20 mL of 0.01 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The solutionshall be washed over the skin for approximately 10 seconds, then pipetted into a clean container.

8.5.5.10

For some areas of the skin (such as the earlobe), a series of three cotton swab samples shall be takenrather than using the tube method. Each cotton swab sample will be placed in a container with 20 mLsolution of 0.01 N NaOH. All samples shall be labeled appropriately before they are analyzed. After theskin-rinse samples are collected, the test subject shall be viewed and photographed under black light.These photographs provide a qualitative assessment of the pattern and intensity of aerosol depositionon the skin.

8.5.5.11

After each trial, upon completion of the skin-rinse sampling and black light photography, the test subjectshall return to a locker room and shower.

8.5.5.12

For each of the skin-rinse samples, approximately 5 mL of each of the samples shall be analyzed in afluorometer to determine the mass of aerosol that is present in the sample. The results shall berecorded and verified to identify and eliminate any errors in reading or recording the data.

8.5.5.13

Aerosol collection substrates shall be recovered from the filter holders and impactors, properly labeled,and stored or transported to the chemical laboratory for subsequent analyses.


230 of 329 5/21/2015 1:32 PM

8.5.5.14

Temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity data shall be recorded in the logbook or data sheetand/or stored electronically for subsequent data reduction and review.

8.5.5.15

Any anomalies with filters, holders, impactors, and so forth, shall be recorded.

8.5.5.16

All the resulting data (including the names of any computer files) shall be recorded in the logbook or testdata sheets for subsequent calculations.

8.5.5.17

All samples (and filters) shall be clearly labeled and stored in an appropriate storage cabinet or facilityuntil the sample analysis for the trial has been completed; any anomalies can may be retested, ifneeded. When data analysis has been completed, the samples can be discarded.

8.5.5.18

Within 10 minutes of doffing, the masked areas shall be unmasked and the test subject shall beexamined under black light for evidence of particulate inward leakage. The black light shall have a

wavelength of 365 mm and an intensity of 1200 µW/cm 2 at 380 mm (15 in.).

8.5.6 Report Data Analysis .

A diagram shall be prepared for each test that identifies the locations of any particulate inward leakage asdetected on the test subject's skin or indicator garments.


231 of 329 5/21/2015 1:32 PM

8.5.6.1 Body Region Hazard Analysis (BRHA).


232 of 329 5/21/2015 1:32 PM

(1) The BRHA shall be used to analyze penetration data from the fluorometric analysis. The resultsfrom the BRHA will be used to compare ensemble performance. The absolute assessment ofensemble performance relative to hazards or casualties is not currently possible.

(2) Missing data points from the fluorometric analysis shall be estimated as the geometric mean ofthe same body point from all ensembles of the same configuration.

(3) Aerosol deposition velocity ( Vd ) values are calculated and used by the BRHA in the local andsystemic effects evaluation.

(4) The rate of aerosol deposition to the TP’s skin shall be expressed as the Vd . The generalequation for computing Vd is in Equation 8.5.6.1:

[8.5.6.1a]

where:

Vd = aerosol deposition velocity

Md = mass of deposited aerosol

Mb = background mass

As = sample area

Cm = aerosol mass concentration (typically in mg/m 3 )

T = sample duration (typically in minutes)

(5) Because the fluorescence of the samples shall be directly related to the mass of the aerosol in thesamples, the fluorescence of the samples will be used instead of determining the mass of aerosolin the samples.

[8.5.6.1b]

where:


Fd = fluorescence of deposited aerosol

Fb = background fluorescence

As = sample area

Cf = aerosol fluorescence concentration (F/m 3 , for example)


(6) For samples where the measured fluorescence is less than or equal to twice the backgroundfluorescence, the Vd shall be computed using the background level.

[8.5.6.1c]

where:


Fb = background fluorescence

As = sample area

Cf = aerosol fluorescence concentration (F/m 3 , for example)


(7) This shall establish the minimum measurable Vd and preclude reporting zero and negativevalues (which might occur when the measurements are at the noise level).


233 of 329 5/21/2015 1:32 PM

8.5.6.2 Local and Systemic Effects Evaluation.

The Vd shall undergo two separate analysis regimes:

(1) Localized Effects.

(a) To evaluate for localized effects, the Vd at each end point shall be divided into theweighing factor specified in the BRHA for localized effects corresponding to the effects ofHD.

(b) The resulting LED values shall be compared with each other, and the lowest value shall beselected as the suit performance value. This minimum value is the MEDHD. The MEDHDfor the configuration is calculated as the geometric mean of the individual MEDHD valuesand represents the highest theoretical aerosolized agent exposure dosage to which theensemble could be externally exposed to HD before the onset of initial symptoms.

(2) Systemic Effects.

(a) To evaluate for systemic effects, the Vd at each end point shall be multiplied by thesystemic weighing factor provided by the BRHA corresponding to the effects of GB.

(b) The resulting values shall be summed over all regions and divided into a constant providedby the BRHA in order to establish an overall PF. The MEDSYS is calculated by multiplyingthis overall PF by another constant provided by the BRHA. The MEDSYS for theconfiguration is then calculated as the geometric mean of the individual systemic effectsand represents the highest aerosolized agent exposure dosage to which the ensemblecould be externally exposed to GB before the onset of initial symptoms.

8.5.6.3 Suit Evaluation.

(1) An initial ANOVA shall be performed to check for outliers.

(a) If necessary, a natural log transformation shall be performed on the LEDs.

(b) An outlier shall be defined as a point having a studentized residual with an absolute valuegreater than 3.

(c) If any outliers are identified, those values shall be reviewed to determine if there is adiscernible cause for each outlier.

i. If there is a discernible cause, the values shall be adjusted, if possible, to reflect thetrue value; otherwise, the value shall be replaced with the geometric mean of thesame body point from all ensembles of the same configuration.

ii. If there is not a discernible cause for the outlier, the original value shall be used.

(d) The outlier analysis shall be repeated only once.

(2) After outlier analysis is complete, a second ANOVA shall be performed.

(a) Penetration data shall be analyzed in the second ANOVA to characterize the protectiveensembles and to perform comparisons with other ensembles.

(b) The model used in the ANOVA will vary by program, IAW the objectives of the program;however, there will be similarities among the ANOVAs.

i. The dependent variable shall be the MED or LED of interest calculated by the BRHA.

ii. The main factor(s) shall be the variable(s) under question, such as amount of wear ormaterial type.

iii. Factors such as “trial day” shall be included as blocking factors to remove knownunwanted sources of variation.


234 of 329 5/21/2015 1:32 PM

8.5.6.4 Data Presentation.

(1) Because of the natural logarithmic transformation performed on the dosage data before analysis,the endpoint values for a particular suit type, mask, hood, and so forth, shall be summarized interms of geometric means (exponentiation of the least-squares means from the ANOVA) ratherthan arithmetic means.

(2) The number of observations, standard deviations, and 95 percent confidence intervals based onthe geometric mean shall also be reported.

8.5.7 Report.

(1) Chemical analysis results of all samples, including aerosol control samples

(2) Aerosol deposition values

(3) Results identified by trial number and sampling location on each test subject

(4) Photographic records documenting the test ensemble and results consisting of the following:

(a) Photographs of the test subject in the full test ensemble immediately before entering theaerosol chamber. The photos shall include overall front, back, and side views with close-upphotographs of the ankles, wrists, and neck closure areas

(b) Black light photographs of the test subject after doffing. These photographs shall cover allbody locations with the test subjects wearing shorts, and for female test subjects, a sportsbra

(5) The individual results for each sample

(6) Any required control results

(7) The test conditions, including the following:

(a) The challenge aerosol mass concentration averaged for the duration of the test

(b) The average wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity for the test

(c) Date of test and test operator

(d) The duration of the test and the computed cytotoxicity (CT)

(8) Any notable observations by the test operators (especially system openings, mask breaches, orpoor fits)

(9) Logbooks from test chambers and test operators

(10) Results of the BRHA


Any evidence of particulate inward leakage on any test subject's skin or indicator garments asdetermined by visual inspection under a black light shall constitute failure.

8.5.8.1

Any evidence of particulate inward leakage on any test subject's skin or indicator garments asdetermined by visual inspection under a black light shall constitute failure.

In 8.5.5.1, the wind speed needs to be specified instead of "X".



1. Required wind speed not included. 2. Has test been performed/validated to show that the complexity of testdesign is providing more reproducible data?

Kienzle, Michael P.

Ensembles have been demonstrated to meet the current, more stringent criteria of zero particle inward leakge

Lancaster, Beth C.

The Particle Inward Leakage Test should not be modified to the DoD method. The committee should insteadconsider the following possible improvements for the current test including better specification and color of thedetection garment, correcting the specification of tape on the detection garment, the determination of detectionlimits, the incorporation of additional procedures to reflect test practice (fit testing of the ensemble facepiece), andimproved reporting methodology.

Many of the challenge chemicals listed are known to react with the aluminum and/or stainless steel of which mosttest cells are constructed. Specifications and/or provisions need to be made to ensure that the challenge chemicalis not affected by the test cell material. This interaction between challenge chemical and test cell could lead toinadequate exposures or loss of analyte during collection. Additionally, the suggested challenge chemicals need tobe evaluated for their use in a standardized test to ensure that they provide repeatable and reproducible results.Chemicals that are found to be inadequate should be removed and replaced in the test battery. Analytical methodsthat are validated under the specified permeation parameters need to be included in the Appendix.

Stull, Jeffrey O.

The list of chemicals for Class 1 is excessive and should be reexamined to identify a finite set of chemical toprovide a reasonable evaluation of material permeation resistance performance.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The TC is adding new tests to Chapter 8.

Proposed changes address the creation of a new Class 1, the baseline flame resistancerequirements for the new Class 1, and optional flash fire performance requirements for both Class1 and Class 2 ensembles.

In adding a test for ultimate tensile strength test, this test will measure how long an elastomericsample can stretch prior to breaking., The end points are commensurate with materials currentlyused in the field.

In the color and visibility test and the audibility signature test, the TC is addressing stealthrequirements.

First Revision No. 151-NFPA 1994-2015 [ Section No. A.3.3.48 ]

A.3.3.53 Non-Encapsulating Nonencapsulating .

The non-encapsulating nonencapsulating ensemble does not provide liquidtight, vaportight, or gastightprotection. Criteria provided in the standard permit the certification of either encapsulating protectiveensembles, which fully encloses the individual wearer and the respirator, or nonencapsulating ensembles,where the respirator (primarily the full facepiece) completes inclusion of individual wearer in conjunctionwith garment, gloves, and footwear. Certification of nonencapsulating ensembles requires that themanufacturer specify each type of respirator and each combination of nonencapsulating ensembles forevaluation to the relevant design and performance criteria in the standard. In addition, the respirator is notevaluated for chemical permeation resistance or other requirements that are applied to ensemblematerials. Organizations specifying and using nonencapsulating ensembles should take intoconsideration the absence of these performance criteria when performing a hazard and risk assessmentfor determining the appropriate use of the ensemble.
