This standard covers requirements for the quality assurance inspection and testing of HEPA filters and respirator canisters by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Filter Test Facilities (FTFs) at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Golden, Colorado; and Richland, Washington. The standard implements the policies established in NE F 3-42, ''Operating Policy of DOE Filter Test Programs,'' and provides a basis for the preparation of written procedures for conducting primary FTF functions. As noted in NE F 3-42, Sec. 4, these standards apply only to filters used at DOE installations for health or environmental protection purposes. These filters are described as ''Type B'' filters in Institute of Environmental Sciences, IES RP-CC-001-86, ''Recommended Practices for HEPA Filters.''
