    "Standard Test Procedure (STP): Determination of Field of View: Full Facepiece Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Respiratory Protective Devices (RPD)"
    Title

    "Standard Test Procedure (STP): Determination of Field of View: Full Facepiece Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Respiratory Protective Devices (RPD)"

    This test establishes the procedures for ensuring that the level of protection provided by the peripheral field of view (FOV) for full facepiece chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) respiratory protective devices (RPD) submitted for approval, extension of approval, or examined during certified product audits, meets the minimum certification standards set forth in this standard test procedure (STP) as prescribed by 42 CFR, Part 84, Subpart G, Section 84.63(a)(c)(d) and Federal Register, Volume 60, Number 110, June 8, 1995. The purpose of this test is to quantify the FOV of a CBRN full facepiece RPD by measuring the functional visual field of full facepiece respirators with either a single visor-type lens or a dual eyepiece lens system. This test method utilizes procedures similar to those defined in EN136: 19981FOV, but uses the visual field score (VFS) method described by the American Medical Association (AMA) to measure the functional impact of the full facepiece on the visual field loss. Visual field loss has the most functional impact on visual orientation and an individual’s mobility skills.2 In order to gauge the functional impact of such losses as a single score, the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th edition consequences rather than the causes of visual field loss. Multidiscipline emergency responders including firefighters, emergency medical technicians, law enforcement officers, decontamination crews and medical staff will most likely wear the CBRN RPD. It is vital that these emergency responders have an adequate functional field of view while wearing a CBRN full facepiece RPD to fulfill their primary operational duties during a response to a terrorist event. This test method objectively measures the FOV of a CBRN full facepiece RPD to ensure the functional field of view requirement is met as defined in the applicable standard. This STP describes the determination of FOV for full facepiece CBRN RPD test in sufficient detail that a person knowledgeable in the appropriate technical field can conduct the test and determine whether or not the product meets the test requirements.

    "Standard Test Procedure (STP): Determination of Lens Fogging: Full Facepiece Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Air-Purifying Respirator (APR)"
    Title

    "Standard Test Procedure (STP): Determination of Lens Fogging: Full Facepiece Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Air-Purifying Respirator (APR)"

    This test establishes the procedures for ensuring that the level of protection provided by the degree of lens fogging of the Full Facepiece Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Air-Purifying Respirators (APR) submitted for Approval, Extension of Approval, or examined during Certified Product Audits, meet the minimum certification standards set forth in this Standard Test Procedure (STP) as prescribed by 42 CFR, Part 84, Subpart G, Section 84.63(a)(c)(d); Volume 60, Number 110, June 8, 1995. The purpose of this test is to subject the CBRN APR to a low temperature environmental condition in order to test the occurrence and extent of lens fogging while the item is worn by a human subject. Respirator lens fogging can be defined as the condensation of water vapor on the internal surface of the lenses to such a degree that vision becomes impaired. Factors that influence fogging of the full facepiece APR lenses or visor include environmental conditions, moisture trapping within the facepiece, work intensity, airflow dynamics within the facepiece, and the optical surface of the lenses or visor. The procedures described herein are intended to test the APR for failure of manufacturers’ design characteristics for preventing obstruction of vision due to significant lens/visor fogging when subjected to potentially harsh conditions by a user. This procedure may be used for other types of Respiratory Protective Devices (RPD): Refer to the primary Statement of Standard of that RPD for the Durability Conditioning requirements. This STP describes the Determination of Lens Fogging on Full Facepiece Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Air-Purifying Respirators (APR) test in sufficient detail that a person knowledgeable in the appropriate technical field can conduct the test and determine whether or not the product passes testing.
