NFPA 1992 Standard on Liquid SplashProtective Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous Materials Emergencies 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1992, Standard on Liquid SplashProtective Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous Materials Emergencies, was prepared by the Technical Committee on H
33、azardous Materials Protective Clothing and Equipment and released by the Correlating Committee on Fire and Emergency Services Protective Clothing and Equipment. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 1, 2017, with an effective date of August 21, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions.
34、This document has been amended by one or more Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) and/or Errata. See “Codes & Standards” at www.nfpa.org for more information. This edition of NFPA 1992 was approved as an American National Standard on August 21, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 1992 In 1985, the
35、National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued report I-004-5 on a hazardous material incident that occurred in Benicia, California. In that report, the NTSB recommended that standards be developed for protective clothing for protection from hazardous chemicals. The United States Department of T
36、ransportation (DOT) issued a position that requested private sector standards development to undertake the project of writing the standards on hazardous chemical protective clothing and asked other governmental agencies to assist and participate in the private sector standards development system. Th
37、e DOT at that time also directly requested that NFPA develop documents on hazardous chemical protective clothing. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OS
38、HA) either endorsed the DOT position or adopted position statements modeled after it. During 1985, the NFPA Standards Council approved a project for development of these standards and assigned the project to the Technical Committee on Fire Service Protective Clothing and Equipment. The technical com
39、mittee established a standing Subcommittee on Hazardous Chemicals Protective Clothing, which began its work in Phoenix, Arizona, in March 1986. Representatives from USCG, FEMA, and OSHA participated on the subcommittee. At the same time, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) was deve
40、loping a document on a selection of chemicals for evaluating protective clothing materials that would serve as one of several ASTM testing criteria that would be referenced in the NFPA standards. The subcommittee met several times over a 2 -year period at different locations across the country and d
41、eveloped two standards, one for vapor-protective ensembles and one for liquid splash protective ensembles and clothing. These standards are today known as NFPA 1991, Standard on Vapor-Protective Ensembles for Hazardous Materials Emergencies and CBRN Terrorism Incidents, and NFPA 1992, Standard on Li
42、quid SplashProtective Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous Materials Emergencies. NFPA 1992 addresses liquid splashprotective ensembles and clothing designed to protect emergency response personnel against exposure to specied chemicals in liquid splash environments during hazardous materials emergen
43、cies. Documentation is required for chemical penetration resistance of garment material against an NFPA battery of test chemicals and any additional chemicals or specic chemical mixtures for which the manufacturer is certifying the suit. The NFPA battery of chemicals was selected from ASTM F1001, St
44、andard Guide for Chemicals to Evaluate Protective Clothing Materials. These chemicals do not include liquid chemicals with known or suspected carcinogenicity or skin toxicity because these garments deal with skin exposure and not inhalation. This criterion produces a different subset of ASTM F1001 c
45、hemicals to be certied.LIQUID SPLASHPROTECTIVE ENSEMBLES AND CLOTHING FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EMERGENCIES 1992-2 2018 Edition This standard includes performance requirements that were established to reect simulated-use conditions. An overall suit water penetration test is included to ensure that the
46、 suit provides full-body splash protection. Materials testing includes burst strength, tear resistance, ammability resistance testing, abrasion resistance, cold temperature performance, and exural fatigue testing. These tests are required so that garment materials will provide adequate protection in
47、 the environment in which they will be used. The rst edition of NFPA 1992 was voted on by the Association at the 1989 Fall Meeting in Seattle, Washington, on November 15, 1989, and had an effective date of February 5, 1990. The Subcommittee on Hazardous Chemicals Protective Clothing began an early r
48、evision (4-year cycle) of the 1990 edition of NFPA 1992 in December 1991. During 1993, the NFPA restructured the manner in which committees were organized, and all standing subcommittees were eliminated. Within the Technical Committee on Fire Service Protective Clothing and Equipment, the former sta
49、nding subcommittees were reorganized as task groups to address specic technical issues, and the technical committee assumed the entire responsibility for NFPA 1992. The 1994 edition of NFPA 1992 encompassed revised scope and purpose sections to include optional components for enhanced protection and replacement items. Test methods were updated and rened to better ensure repeatability of testing results. Extensive changes were made to the product labels to better accommodate the optional and replacement items. The 1994 edition was acted on by the membe
