Testing of the Responder CSM(registered) Level A suit |
|
ensemble was conducted according to MIST test guidelines |
|
promulgated by the Joint Services Lightweight Integrated |
|
Suit Technology (JSLIST) test working group. This testing |
|
was conducted with the chemical agent simulant methyl |
|
salicylate (MS) to determine the protective capability of |
|
the suit against chemical warfare agents (CWA). This |
|
testing was to fill in data gaps on commercial protective |
|
suits (they are not certified by either NIOSH or OSHA for |
|
CWA) so they can be used by emergency personnel at sites |
|
that have been infiltrated by terrorist assailants with |
|
unknown chemical and/or biological weapons of mass |
|
destruction. The testing showed that the Responder |
|
CSM(registered) suit, when worn in the Level A mode with |
|
self-contained breathing apparatus (SOBA), provided |
|
wearers with an overall protection factor of 1686. |
