Title: Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus End-of-Service-Time Indicator Performance Requirements
Abstract: As a component of its ongoing update of respirator certification standards under part 84 and in response to a petition to amend 42 CFR 84.83(f), NIOSH proposes a revision to the current requirement for service-life indicators, which are devices built into a respirator to alert the user that the oxygen provided by the respirator is close to depletion. The Agency intends to revise the current standard to allow the indicators to be set to better match the different worker protection needs of different work operations.
