Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
Provide further clarification for the application of external fitting testing. The specified requirementfor external fitting pull out strength exceeds the pull strength of the material. The proposedterminology distinguishes between different types of external fittings on the basis of their intendedapplication.
The SCR corrected some editorial items for consistency.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
While the Technical Committee agrees with the submitter that a larger number of footwear optionsshould be afforded to first responders when the ensemble includes booties that already meet theliquid chemical penetration resistance requirements of the standard as well as other propertiesestablished for garment materials, it has proposed alternative language to permit the use of othercertified footwear and modified the requirements in the testing to make it easier for manufacturers tospecify a larger range of footwear as part of ensembles. These footwear options are still subject tothe minimum height requirement and higher level of cut resistance (blade travel distance at greaterthan 20 mm at a load of 350 grams).
The SCR corrected an editorial error.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
1. A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces,generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Gaskets allow"less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. (Wikipedia).Not all interfaces involve a material between two other materials. And the phrase interface gasket isredundant in that a gasket lies within an interface. 2. Interface materials do not have to be made fromelastomers 3. The appendix item and the content of the standard also include the interface betweenthe garment and the respirator, when applicable, even though the respirator is not a component orelement of compliant ensemble. That distinction should not be buried in the annex. 4. The standardshould address exposed interface materials. 5. Seam tape is an interface material already addressedin the standard. 6. The physical property values for the interface material have been changed toreflect achievable levels of performance for known materials. 7. There is limited benefit for theincreased complexity and analysis cost for determining cumulative permeation at every 15 minuteintervals.
The SCR corrected 7.1.2.9.7 to say "melt and drip" instead of "or drip"

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
CC Note No. 2-NFPA 1994-2015 appeared in the First Draft Report on First Revision No. 53 directingthe Technical Committee to reposition the CBRN criteria from the respective standards (NFPA 1971for structural/proximity protective ensembles, NFPA 1951 for technical rescue protective ensembles,and NFPA 1999 for emergency medical protective ensembles) into NFPA 1994 to ensure that theconsistent requirements and methodology is maintained for CBRN protection however specified. Inresponse to this comment, the technical committee has established additional categories that makeuse of the existing NFPA 1994 requirements in the respective classes but add additionalensemble/element/material conditioning are specified as well as higher levels of physical strength anddurability for materials. This approach will permit manufacturers of these other ensembles toapproach CBRN protection by dual certification with the respective primary standard and theruggedized category of NFPA 1994. This change is expect to reduce the overall work load among thedifferent technical committees involved.
As part of the proposed changes, ruggedized Class 2 protection covers requirements originallyprovided as part of NFPA 1971-2013, ruggedized Class 3 protection covers requirements originallyprovided as part of NFPA 1951-2013, and ruggedized Class 4 protection covers requirementsoriginally provided as NFPA 1999-2013. The proposed hierarchy is an approach to address thespecific requirements to differentiate between existing standard ensembles and or ruggedizedensembles that are capable of multiple uses or more extreme environments. Information gained frominvestigation of physical requirements for law enforcement CBRN ensembles are appropriate startingpoint for these criteria.
Ruggedized performance for each class of ensemble has been with the exception of class 1 that isalready set at a higher level. The principal to be applied is to create ruggedized requirements in twoparts:
(1) Higher levels of physical properties are specified for the garment and glove materials that areconsistent with either the current proposed Class 1 criteria for new Class 2R and existing Class 2criteria for Class 3R and Class 4R such as burst strength and puncture propagation tear resistancefor garment materials;
(2) More rigorous flexing and abrasion preconditioning should be performed on garment materialsusing the current Gelbo flex and Wyzenbeek abrasion procedures at 10 times their current specifiednumber of cycles; and
(3) Full ensembles are subjected to laundering prior to full ensemble testing.
Other changes were incorporated to address other changes incorporated in the performancerequirements for each class.

8.19.5 Procedure.
Testing shall be conducted in accordance with ISO 11092, Textiles — Physiological effects —Measurements of thermal and water-vapour resistance under steady-state conditions (sweatingguarded-hotplate test) , with the following modifications:
(1) The specimen shall be placed on the test plate with the side normally facing the human bodytoward the test plate.
(2) For multiple layers, the layers shall be arranged in the order and orientation as worn.
(3) Each layer shall be smoothed by hand to eliminate wrinkles or bubbles in each layer and, ifnecessary, secure the edges.
(4) Once the test is started, no further adjustments to the specimen shall be made.
8.19.6 Report.
8.19.6.1
The impact and compression forces for each specimen The total evaporative resistance ( R ef ) of each
sample shall be recorded and reported.
8.19.6.2
The average total evaporative resistance ( R ef ) of all tested samples shall be recorded and reported.
8.19.7 Interpretation.
8.19.7.1
One Pass or more footwear fail determination shall be based on the average reported total evaporativeresistance ( R et ) measurement of all specimens failing this test shall constitute failing
performance. tested.
8.19.7.2
If an individual result from any test set varies more than ±10 percent from the average result, the resultsfrom the test set shall be discarded and another set of specimens shall be tested.
8.19.8 Requirements for Testing Class 2 and Class 2R Garment Materials.
The results for testing of Class 2 and Class 2R garment materials shall be for reporting purposes only.No minimum evaporative resistance requirement shall apply.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
The test method is no longer needed. The performance requirements for footwear toeimpact/compression resistance and sole puncture resistance have been modified to reference thespecific procedures in ASTM F2412 and criteria provided in ASTM F2413. Proposed changes to thetest method address the evaluation of Class 2 and 2R garment materials for reporting purposes onlyand the reference to an ISO test method that is judged more robust than its ASTM counterpart.
The SCR makes a correction to indicate the right test method.
