Title: Amendments to Powered Air-Purifying and Supplied Air Respirator Requirements for Approval of Respiratory Protection Devices
Abstract: As a component of its ongoing update of respirator certification standards under part 84, NIOSH plans to modify performance testing and other specifications for the certification of powered air-purifying respirators and air-supplied respirators. These respirators are used in a variety of workplace applications, including emergency response activities. Current requirements are outdated. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) will solicit information from respirator manufacturers and other stakeholders to assist in the development of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that will reflect current technological capabilities and needs. NIOSH may also solicit information relevant to the regulatory analyses required for rulemaking.
