Respirator Approval and Acceptance Listings
(This Appendix ia not a part of American National Standard Practices/or Respiratory Protection, Z88.2-1960, but ia Included for information purpaaea only.)
Al. Approved or Listed Respirators
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, and the Department of Agriculture pub lish frequently revised lists of respirators. Sam ples of these have been tested and found to pro vide satisfactory reapiratory protection against specific hazards or contaminants.
A1.1 Respirators Approved by the Depart ment of the Interior, Bureau of Mines. A list of respirators approved by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
AL2 Respirators on Lists Published by the Department of Agriculture. A-list of respira tors for respiratory protection against certain pesticides may be obtained from the Depart ment of Agriculture, Pesticide Chemicals Re search Branch, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.
A2. Requirements for and Tests of Respirators
Requirements and testing procedures for res pirators have been established and published by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, and the Department of Agriculture.
A2.1 Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, Requirements and Tests. Requirements for approval of most types of respirators used have been established. These requirements are published as the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, schedules. A current list of these schedules appears in Section 11, Refer ences. These schedules are frequently revised and each subsequent revision is assigned a suc ceeding terminal letter (lor example, schedule 19B is a revision of schedule 19A).
Copies of the most recent schedules may be obtained from the Publications Distribution Section, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, 4800 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania 15213.
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Mines, approval on a respirator continues in ef
fect even though the schedule under which the
respirator was approved has been revised one
or more times. If the user wishes to check the
minimum performance he may expect from an
approved respirator, he should consult the
schedule which was in effect when the approval
was granted. Certain respirators are upended
by the manufacturer to meet the requirements
of more recent schedules. In general, aach sched
ule revision makes the requirements more se
vere. A complete list of schedules and their
effective dates, and a list of schedules under
which each respirator has bean approved, will
be found in the Bureau's list of approved res
pirators.
*
Responsibility for testing and approval of
pesticide respirators has been transferred to the
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines.
A2J Department of Agriculture Require ments and Tests. The Department of Agricul ture previously established requirements and tests for respirators intended to provide reapira tory protection during the application and han dling of pesticides. The requirements end teats are described in a publication of teats and re quirements for respirators designed to provide respiratory protection against pesticides. The publication may be obtained from the Depart ment of Agriculture, Pesticide Chemicals Re search Branch, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.
In the Department of Agriculture's tests, pes ticides were dispersed as water epcaya, oil sprays, or dry dusts to simulate formulahone used in field applications. Chemical cartridges were tested for one hour and gas meek canisters for four hours. Insect bioaaaay methods were used to determine the efficiency of canisters and cartridges.
The Department of Agriculture did not eval uate facepiece fit of chemical-cartridge respira tors or gas masks. It did not test respirators for protection against rodentickles, herbicides, and fungicides.

A3. Selection of Other Than Approved or Listed Respirators
For special purposes the user may need to select a respirator which has not heen submitted to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, or to the Department of Agriculture for testing, or cannot be tested by these agencies because it is outside their approval or testing authority. Among these are special-purpose res pirators for which U6er demand does not warrant submitting the devices for testing or approval.
Z88.2
The user should compare unapproved respira tors with similar approved or listed devices to evaluate the facepiece and other parts to assure himself that the manufacturer, or other reliable organization, has tested the filters, cartridges, or canisters, that they are adequate for the re quired service, and that quality control during manufacture can be expected. He should make or have made suitable tests of the respirators' effectiveness which, as far as feasible, simulate tests made by the official testing agencies.

interested persons were given an op
portunity to submit comments on the
proposed amendments and comments
were received from the Industrial Safety
Equipment Association. Inc. (ISEA); and
the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
The comments have been reviewed by
the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the
Mining Enforcement and Safety Admin
istration (MESA). The comments and
principal changes are discussed below
by Individual sections:
Section 11.90(a)(2). The ISEA re
quested deletion of references to "Type"

unnecessary to describe a mask" with
only one difference from other gas
masks. MESA and NIOSH agree, yet the
capability under { 11.90(b) for approving
such a gas mask was retained by Includ

additional category of front-mounted or
back-mounted gas masks.
requirements lor compliance with the permissible exposure limit. Until such standards are published. Information on respirator selection and use can be ob
tained from the sources designated in this amendment Because of the uncer tainly of respiratory protection against
some toxic gases and vapors when ac
tivated carbon is employed as the sor bent, and to assure that the user Is pro vided with a comfortable and efficiently fitting facepiece, NIOSH Is undertaking a research program to develop Improved
approval test methods and equipment to assure that adequate protection will be provided the users of gas masks. Results of the Investigations will be available from NIOSH.
The ISEA also commented that the proposed amendment would Immediately place many current users of gas masks In a position of noncompliance and admin istratively cause the equipment to be considered obsolete. MESA and NIOSH do not agree. The users of gas masks will not be In a position of noncompliance with regulatory standards since such standards will specify the maximum use concentration for a gas mask which, in
most Instances, will be much less than the recommended maximum use con centration in S 11.90(b). To protect the user, such limiting factors as the facepiece fit of the gas mask, expected serv ice life of the sorbent, warning proper ties of the air contaminant, the lower
explosive limit, and the concentration of the air contaminant Immediately dan gerous to life and health are considered
Section 11.90(b). The deletion of max In establishing the maximum use con
NIOSH agree with the suggestion of
ISEA that the section be revised to re quire an Indicator only for carbon
monoxide because it is undetectable by
odor or taste. A change in the concentration ol
nitrogen dioxide In Tables > and 7 was suggested by ISEA. MESA and NIOSH
agree with the suggestion and the nitro gen dioxide requirements were removed for all gas masks because the 80., CL,

A requirement was Inserted In foot note 6 of I ll.goib) that the applicant advise users, through means of Instruc tion on labels, of the probability of certain gases and vapors not being re moved by sorbents In the canister to that degree Indicated by performance re quirements in Part 11.
The ISEA alio recommended a per formance requirement to be added to Ta bles 8 and 7 which would be consistent with subpart L for chemical cartridge respirator approvals. The change would
allow a reduction of service life require ments (or all gas masks designed to pro vide respiratory protection against two or more types (classes) of gases and vapors. MESA and NIOSH are of the view that such a reduction Is not In the beat Interest of the user's safety. The In consistency with Subpart L Is believed warranted because gas masks are for use against more hazardous atmospheres.
