Selection SummaryDurabilityDurability
Will the material resist tears, puncture and abrasions?Will the material resist tears, puncture and abrasions? Will the material withstand repeated use after
contamination/decontamination?
FlexibilityFlexibility Will the CPC interfere with a worker's ability to perform
his or her assigned tasks? (This is particularly important to consider for gloves.)
Temperature effectsTemperature effects Will the material maintain its protective integrity and
flexibility under the extremes of heat and cold?
13
Selection SummaryEase of decontaminationEase of decontamination
Are decontamination procedures available on site? Will the material pose any decontamination problems? Should disposable clothing be used?
Compatibility with other equipmentCompatibility with other equipment Does the clothing prevent the use of another, necessary
piece of protective equipment (e.g., suits that preclude hardhat use in a hardhat area)?
Duration of useDuration of use Can the required task be accomplished before contaminant
breakthrough occurs, or before degradation of the CPC becomes significant?

Levels of ProtectionLevel A - - Maximum skin and respiratory Maximum skin and respiratory
protection protection
Level B - - Maximum respiratory with some skin Maximum respiratory with some skin protection protection
Level C - - Limited level of respiratory protection Limited level of respiratory protection and skin protection from airborne and skin protection from airborne
hazards hazards
Level D - - No respiratory protection and limited No respiratory protection and limited skin protection from airborne hazards skin protection from airborne hazards
