7、nformityassessment scheme should be determined by a conformityassessment scheme owner or can be defined by the PPEspecification standard writers, and should be based, at aminimum, on the criteria contained in Section 6 of this guide.1.7 This guide is not intended to supersede any federal,state, or l

Summary of Guide4.1 This guide is structured to identify conformity assess-ment

40、considerations and optional requirements related topersonal protective clothing and equipment.5. Significance and Use5.1 Writers of PPE specifications produce requirements tomitigate defined personal safety and health hazards.5.2 The users and wearers of PPE expect that these productswill perform in

41、 conformance with stated specifications to helpto mitigate personal hazard(s).5.3 Conformity assessment requirements are a means toprovide confidence that PPE conform to specifications.5.3.1 Conformity assessment requirements should be de-fined to address the confidence needed to ensure the PPE will

42、provide protection for the identified hazard. (See Annex A1 fora discussion on how standards should address hazards and risksthrough performance and other requirements that provideadequate protection.)5.3.2 Conformity assessment requirements are a means tomanage the risks of nonconforming PPE and ca

43、n serve as abalance of cost effectiveness and risk of injury or illness of anonconforming product.6. Conformity Assessment Requirements as Related toRisk6.1 Conformity assessment is defined as the demonstrationthat specified requirements relating to a product, process,system, person, or body are ful

44、filled.6.1.1 Conformity assessment can include sampling andtesting, inspection, suppliers declaration, certification,surveillance, and quality and environmental system assessmentand registration. It can also include accreditation that indicatescompetence by the provider from a third party.6.1.2 This

45、 guide identifies options for conformity assess-ment consistent with the U.S. HHS NIOSH National Frame-work for Personal Protective Equipment A ConformityAssessment Infrastructure as a means to manage the definedhazards and risk to wearers of a nonconforming PPE.6.1.3 The requirements rigor and sche

46、me participant inde-pendence of the conformity assessment activities can vary froma supplier declaration of conformity (SDOC), to third-partyindependent testing, certification, and other conformity assess-ment requirements.6.1.4 This guide further identifies hazards and risks forwhich a conformity a

47、ssessment scheme can be developed.6.2 Conformity assessment requirements should be tailoredto meet the needs of product suppliers, users, and regulatorybodies.6.2.1 PPE specification requirements should clearly definehazards for which the requirements are written to ensureconforming products provide

48、 adequate protection.6.2.2 The risk associated with nonconformance should inpart determine decisions relative to the conformity require-ments rigor and participant independence needed in a confor-mity assessment scheme.6.2.3 Writers of CA requirements can use risk assessmentmethods and data to the e

49、xtent that such are available; they alsoapply professional judgment and experience. Examples ofsafety and health considerations for assessing hazards and risksare indicated below:High Hazard/Risk Considerations:(1) Severity Life threatening or serious injuries orillnesses are irreversible.(2) Detectability Nonconformance cannot be detectedprior to use following supplier instructions for inspection,evaluation, or other suitable means.(3) Medical attention Required to care of critical injuryor serious illness.(4) Hospitalization Require
