APPENDICES TO §1910.120─HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
NOTE: The following appendices serve as non-mandatory guidelines to assist employees and employers in complying with the appropriate requirements of this section. However paragraph 1910.120(g) makes mandatory in certain circumstances the use of Level A and Level B PPE protection.
APPENDIX A TO §1910.120─PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TEST METHODS
This appendix sets forth the non-mandatory examples of tests which may be used to evaluate compliance with §1910.120 (g)(4) (ii) and (iii). Other tests and other challenge agents may be used to evaluate compliance.
A. Totally-encapsulating chemical protective suit pressure test
1.0─Scope
1.1 This practice measures the ability of a gas tight totally-encapsulating chemical protective suit material, seams, and closures to maintain a fixed positive pressure. The results of this practice allow the gas tight integrity of a totally-encapsulating chemical protective suit to be evaluated.
1.2 Resistance of the suit materials to permeation, penetration, and degradation by specific hazardous substances is not determined by this test method.
2.0─Definition of terms
2.1 Totally-encapsulated chemical protective suit (TECP suit) means a full body garment which is constructed of protective clothing materials; covers the wearer's torso, head, arms, legs and respirator; may cover the wearer's hands and feet with tightly attached gloves and boots; completely encloses the wearer and respirator by itself or in combination with the wearer's gloves and boots.
2.2 Protective clothing material means any material or combination of materials used in an item of clothing for the purpose of isolating parts of the body from direct contact with a potentially hazardous liquid or gaseous chemicals.
2.3 Gas tight means, for the purpose of this test method, the limited flow of a gas under pressure from the Inside of a TECP suit to atmosphere at a prescribed pressure and time interval.
