Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7099773
Bureau of Mines approval of devices affording protection against breathing gases, dusts, and fumes is based upon performance tests instead of specifications. The tests by which the Bureau determines approval of a given respirator are designed to show if it provides adequate protection for a reasonable time against the hazard for which it was designed, if it is reasonably comfortable and convenient to wear, and if it is constructed of durable materials. The Bureau has prepared approval schedules for the following types of respiratory protective devices: (1) Self-contained breathing apparatus, (2) supplied-air respirators, (3) gas masks, (4) dispersed respirators, and (5) chemical cartridge respirators.
