Book Description
This document is a voluntary performance standard for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) protective ensembles for use by law enforcement. It defines both performance requirements and the methods used to test performance. In order for an ensemble manufacturer or other entity to claim that a particular CBRN protective ensemble model satisfies this National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard, the model must be in compliance with this standard as determined in accordance with this document and the associated document, Law Enforcement CBRN Protective Ensemble Certification Program Requirements, NIJ CR-0116.00. Both this standard and the associated certification program requirements document are produced as a part of the Standards and Testing Program of the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, NIJ, as is a third associated document, the Law Enforcement CBRN Protective Ensemble Selection and Application Guide, NIJ Guide-0116.00.

Book Description
The evaluation described in this report tested chemical/biological (CB) ensembles to determine the impact on ergonomic and human factors performance. The performance of each CB ensemble was compared to the performance of the baseline duty uniform. Statistically significant differences were found in many areas, indicating that wearing the CB ensemble adversely affects the ergonomic performance when compared to the baseline duty uniform. CB ensembles were evaluated using two separate human test subject groups, including military personnel and state police troopers. While wearing each ensemble, the two test groups performed a series of tasks, including timed donning and doffing, gross and fine hand dexterity tasks, body mobility tasks, and law enforcement based mission scenarios. Each test subject also performed these tasks wearing only the duty uniform, which served as the baseline level of performance. The recommendations identified within this report will be provided to the National Institute of Standards and Technology - Office of Law Enforcement Standards (NIST-OLES) for consideration when developing law enforcement specific CB standards.

Book Description
When you purchase a product, you expect it to work. Construction workers on high-rise buildings need to be confident that their safety harnesses will arrest a fall. Firefighters need to know that their gloves and other protective equipment can withstand high temperatures. Healthcare workers administering highly toxic chemotherapy agents need to know that their gloves will withstand penetration. For personal protective technologies (PPT)-where the major purpose of the product is to protect the wearer against a hazard-a deficit in product effectiveness can mean injury, illness, or death. Examining the extent to which products meet specific performance or design criteria is the focus of conformity assessment efforts. For PPT conformity assessment, the ultimate goal is preventing worker illness, injury, or death from hazardous working conditions. Certifying Personal Protective Technologies focuses on conformity assessment for occupational PPT-ensuring that PPT are effective in preventing or reducing hazardous exposures or situations that workers face in their jobs. Because respirators already have an extensive testing and conformity assessment process in place, this book specifically addresses conformity assessment processes for other types of PPT, including eye and face protection, gloves, hearing protectors, and protective clothing.
