12、about this documentIncreased threat to civilians, emergency and support agencies from chemical,biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents has led to a need for suitablepersonal protective equipment (PPE). The lack of coverage of combined CBRNprotection in existing British Standards on PPE ha

13、s recently been identified. Thisstandard has been prepared to give requirements for such PPE.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is“shall”.Commentary, ex

If there is difficultygetting reliable results due to contamination from the soda lime used in CCBA, thetest may be

27、 performed with SF6 or corn oil.6.2.1 Type 1The maximum inward leakage shall be 0.01% when tested as a completesystem in accordance with BS EN 13274-1:2001, 8.4c).NOTE This requirement is more stringent than the one given in BS EN 136.Detection systems should take account of the increased sensitivit

35、ustard (HD) and sarin (GB)NOTE This method is based on a method developed and described in NIOSHProcedure CCBN CBRN 11 (Draft for Discussion) 1. Other test set-ups that areidentical in principle but vary in detail may be used if they can be shown lead to thesame results.A.1 PrincipleThree CCBAs, inc

36、luding all components and accessories, are tested in each test,two conditioned in conformity with BS EN 14593-1:2005, 6.8.1,orBS EN 137:2006, 6.24, and one “as received”, including all components andaccessories, on an upper-torso manikin connected to a breathing machine. Threeare tested in an atmosp

37、here containing GB vapour, and three are tested in aseparate test, in an atmosphere containing HD vapour with liquid droplets ofHD applied to the surface of the apparatus. The peak excursion levels andbreakthrough levels are measured for these agents.NOTE It might be necessary to replace the oxygen

38、source with an external supplyof compressed air for the purpose of running an extended-duration test. If theoxygen source has been replaced, the alternative air supply needs to operate at thesame flow rate.A.2 MaterialsA.2.1 HD vapour.A.2.2 HD liquid.A.2.3 GB vapour.A.2.4 Dilute HD, to test the cali

42、clean purge air; an electricfan, inside, near the top front, to achieve a well-mixed challenge vapour. Onechamber is “clean” and only used to check for fit and leaks, the other is foragent exposure. The exposure chambers shall permit good mixing of the agentand air.2)SMARTMAN is the trade name of a

A test set-up that uses only one chamber may be used.A.3.3 Leak detector, capable of

45、 detecting aerosol particles at a concentration ofless than 0.001% of the challenge concentration (e.g. a challenge concentrationof 100 mg/m3mineral oil needs a detector capable of detecting 0.10 mg/m3).A.3.4 Continuous air monitoring system; capable of detecting GB and HD at thelevels required, bot
