"Determination of low flow warning device activation for breath assist type tight-fitting powered air-purifying respirators, standard testing procedure"

This test establishes the method of ensuring that the level of protection provided by the low flow warning device requirement for breath assist type tight-fitting powered air-purifying respirators, series PAPR100, meet the minimum requirements set forth in 42 CFR Part 84, Subpart K, Section 84.171(j).

"Determination of low flow warning device activation for powered air-purifying respirators series PAPR100, standard testing procedure"

This procedure establishes the method of ensuring that the level of protection provided by the low flow warning device activation requirement for powered air-purifying respirators, series PAPR100, meet the minimum requirements set forth in 42 CFR Part 84, Subpart K, Section 84.171(j).

"European Standard for Surgical Gowns, Drapes and Clean Air Suites "

This European Standard specifies information to be supplied to users and third party verifiers in addition to the usual labelling of medical devices (see EN 1041 and EN ISO 15223-1), concerning manufacturing and processing requirements. This European Standard gives information on the characteristics of single-use and reusable surgical gowns and surgical drapes used as medical devices for patients, clinical staff and equipment, intended to prevent the transmission of infective agents between clinical staff and patients during surgical and other invasive procedures. This European Standard specifies test methods for evaluating the identified characteristics of surgical drapes and gowns and sets performance requirements for these products. EN 13795-1 does not cover requirements for resistance to penetration by laser radiation of products. Suitable test methods for resistance to penetration by laser radiation, together with an appropriate classification system, are given in EN ISO 11810. EN 13795-1 does not cover requirements for incise drapes or films. EN 13795-1 does not cover requirements for antimicrobial treatments for surgical gowns and drapes. Antimicrobial treatment may cause environmental risks such as resistance and pollution. However, antimicrobial treated surgical gowns and drapes fall under the scope of this standard with respect to their use as surgical gowns and drapes. Additional essential requirements that apply to surgical clothing and drapes are covered by other European Standards.

"IEEE Standard for Fall Protection for Utility Work"

General recommendations for fall protection and worker protection are provided. It provides guidance, work methods, and equipment specifications to protect employees covered under the standard from being injured by falls, and provide emphasis to encourage further development in equipment, work methods, and training related to fall protection programs used for electric utility transmission and distribution work.

"Personal fall-arrest systems – Part 1: Full-body harnesses"

This part of ISO 10333 specifies the requirements, test methods, instructions for general use, marking, packaging and maintenance for full-body harnesses (FBH). In cases where the hazard of falling from a height exists and where, for technical reasons or for work of very short duration, safe access cannot be otherwise provided, it is necessary to consider the use of personal fall-arrest systems (PFAS). Such use should never be improvised and its adoption should be specifically provided for in the appropriate formal provisions for safety in the work place. PFAS complying with this part of ISO 10333 should satisfy ergonomic requirements and should only be used if the work allows means of connection to a suitable anchor device of demonstrated strength and if it can be implemented without compromising the safety of the user. Personnel should be trained and instructed in the safe use of the equipment and be observant of such training and instruction. For the purposes of this part of ISO 10333, FBH may have attachment elements that allow the user to connect into other types of safety or access system, for example a work-positioning system, a controlled descent/ascent system or a confined-space access system. This part of ISO 10333 includes requirements for such attachment elements.
