The meeting was called to order at 9:10 a.m. on October 1, 2014 by Technical Committee (TC) Chair, Dr. Christina Baxter. 2. Welcome & Introductions. Dr. Baxter welcomed everyone. Members and guests introduced themselves and their affiliation. Dr. Baxter thanked everyone for their participation in this meeting to address the Testing Task Group input for the draft NFPA She outlined the plan for this meeting. 3. Minutes Approval. The minutes from the NFPA 1991 First Draft meeting held on February 18-19, 2014 in Raleigh were approved by the TC. 4. NFPA Staff Report and Discussion of Document Revision Process. The NFPA Staff Liaison, Mr. Dave Trebisacci, provided general information on NFPA procedures and timelines in an opening presentation. He addressed NFPA antitrust and patent policies to be adhered to as well as composition and balance of the TC. Mr. Trebisacci stated that the Hazmat TC is in balance. He noted that NFPA 1991 is in the Fall 2015 cycle and the Public Comment period will close November 14, 2014 at 5:00 pm. The Second Draft meeting for NFPA 1991 is planned for January 20-23, 2015 in San Diego. NFPA 1991 is expected to be on the NFPA Standards Council agenda for approval in November NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1994 Additionally, Mr. Trebisacci reminded the TC that NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1994 are in the Fall 2016 revision cycle. The Public Input stage of the revision process will be open until January 5, 2015, with the First Draft meeting scheduled for January 2015 as noted above. The NFPA standard revision/development process can be found at 5. NFPA 1991 Revision. The NFPA 1991 Task Group Report was provided to share test data and summarize the status of the work being conducted by the NFPA 1991 Task Group. Flame Resistance Following discussion on the Flame Resistance Test, it was decided that a Public Comment would be submitted to clarify the determination for melting for the baseline and flash fire to melting AND dripping, to incorporate the ASTM F1358 test method with updated ASTM D6413 equipment and designate a 3 second baseline endpoint and a 12 second flash fire endpoint, and to incorporate a supplemental break open test based on MIL 83480B.

4 Alternate Flash Fire Test Following discussion on alternatives to the overall ensemble flash fire test, it was decided that the Task Group would take the following actions to assist in determining an appropriate test: Provide specific data on measuring heat flux in the current flash fire test and use that information to determine the appropriate time for the manikin tests. Public Comments will also be submitted to allow the use of a full garment configuration for testing on the manikin, and to allow testing of a facsimile garment on the manikin based on use of the ASTM F1930 pattern. MIST vs. SF6 The Task Group reviewed the two tests and the problems associated with the SF6 method. It was noted that the quality issues with PAD s are close to resolution, and the new supplier information will be provided to the Testing TG. It was noted that there must be supportive data presented for changing the test method from SF6 to a modified MIST. The Testing TG was assigned the task to provide results of verification testing at Intertek and NC State. The Task Group volunteered to validate that the laboratories have the ability to maintain increased concentration of 150 in their chamber (4 subjects / 2 hrs ). This information will be shared with the TC. Public comments will be submitted to increase the concentration to 150 and setting the endpoints. Visor Physical Properties Jason Allen reviewed results on physical property testing conducted on visors using the ANSI Z87.1 standard physical challenges. Additional comparative testing will be performed on samples following removal from a C environment with an alternative probe using unacceptable material. Public Comments will be submitted based on the results. Visor Field of View A proposed Visor Field of View Test protocol was reviewed. As there may be concerns with variables being created by the type of SCBA being used, those Task Group members attending the upcoming IAB meeting in Arlington, VA will perform testing at off times during the IAB meeting to gain user input into potential endpoints and test design. A public comment will be submitted following the additional testing. Encapsulating vs. Non-Encapsulating The Task Group was charged with the task of identifying a potential path forward following a review of the entire document to address the testing of a respirator face piece in those areas where visor testing has been designated. The Scope statement in will need to be revised. A modified inflation test must also be proposed. With potential issues regarding limited barrier testing, the TG will also need to propose a potential warning label on the garment stating that the respiratory protection has not been tested against the chemical battery. It was noted that it may be appropriate to create an Annex item stating that the pressure test does not incorporate the face piece (seal). A teleconference of the TG will be scheduled to address these issues. Cumulative vs. Breakthrough Permeation Kristin Williamson provided a comparison of cumulative mass permeation versus normalized breakthrough time.

5 Following significant discussion, several assignments were made as the Task Group moves forward. Public comments will be submitted to provide greater detail regarding performance requirements and test methods to include testing at 15 minute intervals over a 60 minute period to accommodate for materials which may have spikes in breakthrough, and end points will need to be justified. Russ Greene, Chris McKeel and Jeff Stull were asked to provide information related to this issue, liquefied gas and the analytical methodologies required, respectively. Multi-Layer Visor Systems Public Comments will be submitted to add clarification language for multi-layer visor systems. Footwear and Glove Flexing Discussion on the lack of benefit of this test resulted in a plan for Public Comments to be submitted to remove requirements for the flexing of footwear and glove samples. Tech Data Packages It was noted that there is a lack of consistency in Technical Data Packages. Beth Lancaster requested all manufacturers to provide examples of Tech Data Packages to her as soon as possible. Public Comments will be submitted to develop an outline/template of required Technical Data Package elements and their organization Path Forward Consider developing a survey to ask operators what protection they think a 1992 suit provides Chemical challenge list within 1992 is lacking. Develop a proposed chemical list based upon viscosity, surface tension and chemical degradation methodologies Review the Flash Fire option as nobody has ever certified to this due to the post flame liquid challenge Perform a review of the standard and ensure that all test method issues that were addressed in 1991 are incorporated within 1992, where applicable Path Forward Further evaluate Chlorine and Acrolein test methods and potential pitfalls as seen by NCSU Sock and glove testing needs to be re-evaluated Durability requirements - can/should an optional ruggedized requirement be added 8. Next Meeting. The next meeting of the TC will be held January 20-23, 2015 in San Diego. This will be the Second Draft meeting for NFPA 1991, and the First Draft meeting for NFPA 1992 and NFPA Adjournment. There being no further business before the TC, the meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m. on October 2, Respectfully submitted by: Patricia Gleason Secretary NFPA Technical Committee on Hazardous Materials Protective Clothing and Equipment

Multiple elements, categorized as Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 CBRN protective ensembles and ensemble elements, designed to provide minimum full-body protection against exposure to chemical/biological terrorism agents occurring during chemical/biological terrorism emergencies Class 2 CBRN Protective Ensemble and Ensemble Elements. A CBRN protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed to protect emergency first responder personnel at terrorism incidents involving vapor or liquid chemical hazards where the concentrations are at or above Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) requiring the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) Class 3 CBRN Protective Ensemble and Ensemble Elements. A CBRN protective ensemble and ensemble element designed to protect emergency first responder personnel at terrorism incidents involving low levels of vapor or liquid chemical hazards where the concentrations are below Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) permitting the use of CBRN air-purifying respirators (APR), or CBRN powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR) Class 4 CBRN Protective Ensemble and Ensemble Elements. A CBRN protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed to protect emergency first responder personnel at terrorism incidents involving biological hazards or radiological particulate hazards where the concentrations are below Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) permitting the use of air-purifying respirators (APR), or powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR) CBRN Terrorism Incident Protective Footwear. An element of the CBRN terrorism agent protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed to provide minimum protection to the foot, ankle, and lower leg CBRN Terrorism Incident Protective Footwear Cover. An item of the CBRN terrorism agent protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed and configured to be worn over standard footwear to provide barrier and physical protection to the wearer's feet CBRN Terrorism Incident Protective Garment(s). An element of the CBRN terrorism agent protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed to provide minimum protection to the upper and lower torso, head, arms, and legs; excluding the hands and feet CBRN Terrorism Incident Protective Glove(s). An element of the CBRN terrorism agent protective ensemble and ensemble elements designed to provide minimum protection to the wearer's hands and wrists. Certification of ensemble elements potentially creates misunderstanding and a false impression among end-users as to what are and are not compliant ensembles and clothing, In addition, permitting the certification of elements appears to be in conflict with 4.1.4, "Manufacturers shall not claim compliance with portions or segments of the requirements of this standard and shall not use the NFPA name or the name or identification of this standard, NFPA 1994, in any statements about their respective products unless the products are certified as compliant to this standard.. Nothing restricts a component manufacturer from reaching an agreement with a certification agency and the ensemble manufacturer to provide test data on the performance of the component. However, while the component manufacture may agree with the ensemble manufacturer to assume liability for the performance of the component, the ensemble manufacture should be solely responsible to the certification agency for the performance of the ensemble.
