The Statement: proposed definition provides a clearer description of soiling. A separate annex section is being recommended to clarify the definition of soiling. "Soiled" does not need to be defined as it is the action of soiling. Response Message: Additional clarification is needed for the definition of soiling, particularly in how soiling is different from contamination. This additional information also indicates how ordinary fireground exposures to combustion products are actually a form of contamination.

80 Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Fri Apr 14 08:40:52 EDT 2017 Committee Statement Committee NFPA 1851 addresses the organization s selection of appropriate fire fighting protective Statement: ensembles. Currently, insufficient detail exists within the standard to distinguish between the decision for selecting protective ensembles for either structural or proximity fire fighting. The lack of detail in both the mandatory and non mandatory parts the standards does not provide adequate information for organizations to consider which type of protective ensemble to have available for the respective hazards that the organization may face as part of its firefighting responsibilities. In fact, this deficiency has led some organizations to dismiss the need for proximity fire fighting protective ensembles on the basis of an overly simplistic hazard assessment that does not recognize the specific risks and potential for those fire fighter injury or fatalities in high radiant fire environments, such as aircraft fires. Such hazards require additional radiant protection afforded by proximity fire fighting protective ensembles. Response Message: Outside organizations rely on the specific requirements and guidance provided in NFPA 1851 to support selection decisions that they make. Therefore it is incumbent that the NFPA 1851 standard includes the appropriate provisions to aid in the selection of protective ensembles that are commensurate with the specific hazards and risks faced by the fire fighters. This includes the requirements for different organizations to select structural, proximity, or both types of fire fighting protective ensembles.

89 Organizations are able to assess the effectiveness of ensemble interfaces and interface components for reducing the penetration of particulate contamination by conducting a simple test. In this test, a fire fighter wears their ensemble consisting of protective garments, a helmet, gloves, footwear, a hood, and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). A fluorescent agent based solution is sprayed as an aerosol onto the exterior of the protective ensemble worn by the fire fighter, while the fire fighter carries out stationary exercises. When applied as a fine mist, the aerosol can approximate the small particles of smoke created in a structural fire. After carefully removing the ensemble, the underlying skin and clothing are examined under a black UV light to show any evidence of aerosol penetration. This information can then be used by the organization to judge how well interfaces are maintained between elements and the overall protective capabilities of specific interface components such as particulate blocking hoods. For performing this test, the following supplies, equipment, and facilities are needed: (1) A commercial fluorescent liquid solution that is typically applied in hand washing. A supply of 3.8 L (1 gal) will be sufficient to evaluate multiple ensembles. (2) An ordinary paint spray with a variable control. An inexpensive electric powered sprayer can be obtained for less than $100 from a home improvement supply store. (3) A large black UV flashlight for viewing any fluorescent aerosol. Alternatively, a bank of long black UV fluorescent lights can be used in a darkened room. (4) An area that can be darkened for examining the fire fighter test subject under black light. This area can be a closet or other room where the light can be fully blocked out. (5) An area for spraying the liquid onto the fire fighter test subject. (6) Optionally, the fire fighter test subject can wear black witness garments such as body wear underneath the ensemble to provide a uniform viewing surface. If this approach, is used, synthetic material based black body wear consisting of a full long sleeved top and pants are useful. However, such garments must be totally free of lint as ascertained by being checked under a black light. The basic procedures for conducting this test involve the following steps: (1) Spray a very small portion of fluorescent solution (1 sec) onto either the black witness garment or individual s skin to determine how it appears under the selected black light observation conditions. This will serve as a visual control for determining if penetration has occurred. (2) The fluorescent solution should rinse off the individual s skin with thorough soap andwater washing. It should also be readily removed from the black witness garments by conventional washing. (3) If the fire fighter test subject wears the black witness garments, then the garments should be washed and free of lint. (4) Put the fluorescent liquid in the sprayer reservoir and adjust the sprayer settings to deliver a light, circular spray pattern of liquid mist. (5) Have the fire fighter test subject put on the complete ensemble to be evaluated. (6) Spray the fluorescent liquid onto the fire fighter ensemble using a spray time of 5 to 10 seconds in each location. Ideally, have the test subject perform motions that are designed to challenge the interfaces, such as reaching above their head with their arms, bending over, and cross body reaches. (7) Following the spraying of fluorescent liquid, use extreme care removing the ensemble from the fire fighter test subject to prevent contaminant transfer to the interior and skin/clothing of the subject. (8) After the ensemble is removed, check the surfaces on the black witness garments or test subject s skin under a black UV light in a darkened area to determine if there is any visual evidence of fluorescence that might have penetrated from the spraying process. (9) Make notes or draw a diagram to show where underlying fluorescence has penetrated portions of the ensemble or the test subject s skin. 85/286

90 Based on this test method, information gained from the evaluation of different ensembles can show their relative effectiveness in preventing particulate protection. However, it is important to note that this evaluation technique might not show all avenues of particulate penetration and can also provide results that might be difficult to interpret unless specific penetration pathways are identified. It is important to carry out these procedures with a high level of advance planning and scrutiny to ensure consistent and comparable results. For example, conducting the evaluation with the same test subject(s) on the same day will allow more uniform testing when comparing different ensembles.

134 OK Negative with Comment Woods, Patrick J. This negative vote does not reflect a disagreement with the concept of increasing the protection of fire service members from multiple and varied forms of contamination, especially the need to limit the exposure to cancer causing toxins. However, nothing in the committee statement technically justifies the proposed changes to 7.1. The Committee Statement for this revision is based on a discussion of a TC Task Group. What was discussed? The TC needs to explain the reason for the changes and technical justification for addressing each specific type of contamination. It must also reflect the data driving the benefit of addressing each type of contamination. As 7.1 has significant cost implications, it stands to reason that some form of sound technical justification is warranted to require the listed action triggers. Arguably, the TC statement fails to meet the spirit of the NFPA s Regulations Governing Committee Projects /286

200 Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Chris Farrell Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Sat Apr 15 17:59:53 EDT 2017 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: The committee has revised Section 11.3 to incorporate several revisions. These changes include: Provision for the ISP or the Certification Organization to be able to damage the sample that is to be repaired prior to testing. This will allow for flexibility in getting the samples damaged prior to repair and testing. In either case, the Certification Organization will still inspect the damaged sample prior to any repairs being made in order to ensure damage was performed correctly. Seam samples submitted for testing will no longer be allowed to be constructed by a garment manufacturer. The seam samples submitted for damage will be required to be constructed by the ISP or the organization seeking verification. Currently it has been the practice of some verified organizations and/or ISP s to purchase pre made seam kits and submit those as if they are an original submittal of verification samples. The ability to create seams required for submittal for verification should be considered as valuable as performing the required repairs. ISP s, even though considered repair facilities many times perform major repairs larger than what would be considered small patches. The ability to purchase pre made seam kits does not provide confidence that the ISP or verified organization has the skill, knowledge or ability to perform to the scope which is portrayed not only to the industry but the fire service. Based on the types of repairs typically made by ISP s to moisture barriers, the moisture barrier hole repair is being replaced by a pinhole repair. Since pinholes are a common type of moisture barrier repair, this repair type should be verified instead of the hole repair which is not a common repair.

203 First Revision No. 54 NFPA [ Section No ] 12.1 Light Evaluation of Liners * Application. This evaluation method shall apply to liner composites found in structural and proximity fire fighting protective garment elements that are in service Evaluation Areas At a minimum, the front and back body panels of each protective garment element shall be evaluated Specific areas of the body panels that shall be evaluated include the upper back, shoulders, underarms, sleeves, waist area, and crotch area Liner evaluation areas shall also be any areas of the garment where damage or loss of thermal protection is detected or expected Evaluation Apparatus. The apparatus used to perform the light evaluation shall have the following characteristics: The apparatus shall consist of a light source that provides enough light to show the changes in density of the liner materials when viewed. The light source shall not produce enough heat to damage the liner composite. The light source shall be configured to prevent the bulbs from directly contacting the liner composite. The light source shall be appropriately sized to fit into the sleeves of the liner Procedure The evaluation procedure shall be performed at room temperature The evaluation shall be conducted using the following procedure: If possible, separate the liner from the outer shell. Orient the liner so that the thermal barrier is on the outside. Position the light source near the moisture barrier so that the light passes through the moisture barrier and then through the thermal barrier. Evaluate the liner by examining the amount of light coming through the thermal liner Results Results shall be determined by evaluating areas where the light is brighter through some areas than others /286

204 Brighter areas could be an indication of insulating material shifting or migrating, resulting in a thin or bare spot To further evaluate a suspected area of shifting or migration, a complete liner inspection shall be performed. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Chris Farrell Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Fri Apr 14 15:04:15 EDT 2017 Committee Statement Committee The recommendation of the public input is to remove the Light Test from the standard. The Statement: Light Test was originally included in the Standard to provide an easy method of evaluating the thermal barrier without opening the liner assembly. At the time, the rationale was sound. Now, however, after several years of experience with NFPA 1851, we have learned the Light Test is neither easy to conduct or as effective as opening the liner up and visually inspecting all layers for possible issues. The inclusion of this test in the Standard, along with the Complete Liner Inspection, also adds confusion to the inspection process. The Complete Liner Inspection is clearly the more effective method for evaluating the thermal barrier. It is also relatively easy and quick to perform. Since the performance of the thermal barrier is critical to the performance of the garment, it is appropriate for the Complete Liner Inspection to become a required part of the Advanced Inspection. This will both improve the Advanced Inspection and simplify the inspection criteria.

Specific research is being carried out to develop simplified procedures by which specially contaminated samples can be sent to any facility and subjected to a respective organization s cleaning process and procedures. The facility would then return the cleaned samples back to a qualified laboratory for analysis. Based on the analysis of the samples, a determination can be made as to how much contamination has been removed by the respective cleaning process are procedures. Is recommended that these validation procedures be specified for qualifying specific cleaning and decontamination processes as applied to the removal of products of combustion contamination and separately to biological contamination. Thus, only those equipment, cleaning agents/sanitizers, procedures and processes that pertain a specific level of contamination removal efficiency would be used. Work is already underway by the Fire Protection Research Foundation and is sufficiently advanced for developing procedures that examines both chemical and biological contamination. In the case of chemical contamination, two separate approaches are being investigated. The first approach entails exposing small material swatches in a repeatable fashion to products of combustion created and a small controlled chamber that creates both soot particles and various types of organic and inorganic chemicals. A second approach involves impregnating fabric samples with a certain like carbon material and inoculating the material with specific amounts of known organic and inorganic chemicals. In while either case, the contaminated samples would be characterized for the levels contamination an identical set would be sent to the facility for incorporation into a clothing set that is then subjected to the respective cleaning process being evaluated. With the return of the wash samples, and analysis would be performed to determine the remaining level of contaminants retained by the sample. By comparing the levels both in the uncleaned and cleaned samples, a quantitative measure can be obtained for individual substances or contaminants. Similarly, specimen fabric samples can be inoculated with specific microorganisms and likewise subjected to cleaning or sanitization processes to determine the remaining number of microorganisms following the application the process. Specific efficiencies can be set for qualifying the effectiveness of the decontamination processes for either chemical or biological contaminants. The inclusion of cleaning validation will be proposed in the following ways: 1. All advanced cleaning processes would be required to be validated for effectiveness for chemical decontamination. 2. Any cleaning process recommended for the removal biological contaminants would be required to be validated for effectiveness for biological decontamination /286

227 Response Message: Ballot Results 3. It would be permitted for vendors to qualify their equipment, cleaning/sanitization, and specialized processes for either chemical or biological decontamination effectiveness. 4. These procedures would be applied to Independent Service Providers to verify their cleaning as no such current procedures exist and would be undertaken during the verification process applied to ISPs. Specific details for how these requirements would be implemented as well as current proposed procedures for the conduct of both chemical and biological contamination will be specified prior to the first draft meeting to allow committee review of the recommended changes to the standard.

This test method shall apply to the decontamination of outer shell material that is subjected to ISP cleaning procedures for advanced cleaning employed for the removal of products of combustion from structural fire fighting protective garments Samples. Pristine 100 mm (4.0 in.) diameter surrogate outer shell material samples shall be laundered ten times in accordance with of NFPA Specimens. A total of 12 pieces of surrogate outer shell material shall be tested Procedure Six specimens shall be mounted to the lower mounting stage of a Martindale abrasion machine Specimens shall be loaded with 0.05 g ± g each of 99.9 percent acetylene based carbon black for 80 cycles utilizing 9 kpa head pressure. The top abradant head shall be the 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter stainless steel head only All 12 specimens shall be contaminated with the chemical quantities as specified in Table Table Selected Surrogate Chemical Contaminants and Doses Specimens Chemical Amount 1 6 Pentachlorophenol 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 Phenanthrene 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 Octacosane 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 Naphthalene 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 Diethylhexyl phthalate 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 Xylene 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 2,2,4,4 Tetrabromodiphenyl ether 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 1 6 2,2,4,4,5,5 Hexachlorobiphenyl 2.5 g of a 625 ppm standard 7 12 Arsenic 600+/ 50 ng 7 12 Lead 600 +/ 50 ng Organic chemical contamination shall be performed by placing the fabric samples in largemouth jars and dripping the above specified quantity of a standard solution containing all of the target compounds on the carbon loaded portion of the fabric * Inorganic chemical contamination shall be performed utilizing the nebulizer from an ICP instrument to deposit the arsenic and lead to the carbon loaded surface of the fabric /286

230 All specimens shall be allowed to fully dry within a chemical hood for 24 hours Specimens shall be mounted on a standard protective coat that is certified to NFPA 1971, in the locations as shown in Figure , by fastening with a safety pin through the top and bottom of the circles to the outer shell. Figure Locations for Attachment of Contaminated Specimens The protective coat and surrogate specimen assembly shall be cleaned in accordance with the procedures of the ISP. Sufficient ballast of a suitable type shall be provided to make up a full load All six organic specimens shall be extracted using methylene chloride or another suitable methodology All six inorganic specimens shall be extracted using a suitable methodology Report The recovered quantity of each chemical in each individual specimen shall be reported Specimens 1 3 recovered quantities shall be averaged and compared by chemical versus the nonlaundered specimens 4 6 averages Specimens 7 9 recovered quantities shall be averaged and compared by chemical versus the nonlaundered specimens averages The average percent reduction for each chemical shall be reported as the decontamination efficiency of the ISP process Interpretation. Compliance with the pass/fail requirements shall be determined on the basis of each individual decontamination efficiency for all eight chemical contaminants.
