Submittal Date: Thu May 14 13:38:34 EDT 2015 Committee The Correlating Committee notes that the chemicals are not specified for chemical Statement: penetration resistance testing of closures as specified in Section 8.23. Previously, the list of chemicals was specified as part of the Chapter 7 performance criteria. The Technical Committee moved the challenge lists to the respective test methods, but did not make this change for chemical penetration resistance testing. The reference to ASTM F1001 is needed to accomplish this change.

] Second Correlating Revision No. 5 NFPA 1991 2015 [ Section No. 6.1.10 6.1.10* Protective cover(s) constructed using a material that meets all the applicable performance criteria in Section 7.2 shall be provided to protect the suit closure assembly from direct chemical splashes. The cover(s) shall allow access to the closure(s) for donning, doffing, and inspection. Submittal Date: Thu May 14 13:41:57 EDT 2015 Committee The Correlating Committee noted the negative comment of one voter on Second Statement: Revision 70 and has incorporated clarification of the requirement for a cover over the suit closure assembly.

Second Correlating Revision No. 1 NFPA 1991 2015 [ Section No. 7.7.5 ] 7.7.5 Vapor protective ensembles and elements shall be tested for overall heat transfer performance as specified in Section 8.18 and shall have an average predicted body burn rating of not more than 25. Submittal Date: Thu May 14 13:33:05 EDT 2015 Committee The Correlating Committee notes that the criteria in this paragraph should have Statement: been removed during the preparation of the second draft as the committee made the decision to continue the use of the current overall ensemble flash fire test. http://submittals.nfpa.org/terraviewweb/contentfetcher?commentparams=%28commenttype%3d%22scr%22%29&path=/terraview/content/1991 2005. 4/6
] Second Correlating Revision No. 4 NFPA 1991 2015 [ Section No. 8.23.4 8.23.4 Procedure. Penetration resistance testing of suit closure assemblies shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM F903, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Penetration by Liquids, Procedure C, using the following modifications: (1) All tests shall be conducted at 25 C, ±3 C (77 F, ±5 F). (2) The test cell shall be modified to accommodate the shape of the suit closure assembly without affecting other parts of the test procedure. The Plexiglas shield shall be omitted from the test cell. (3) Use of blotting paper at the end of the test shall be permitted to assist in the visual observation of liquid penetration. Visually observed chemical on the blotting paper shall constitute failure of this test. (4) An observation to determine specimen penetration shall be made at the end of the chemical contact period. (5) Testing shall be conducted against the 15 liquid chemicals specified in ASTM F1001, Standard Guide for Selection of Chemicals to Evaluate Protective Clothing Materials. Submittal Date: Thu May 14 13:40:39 EDT 2015 Committee The Correlating Committee notes that the chemicals are not specified for chemical Statement: penetration resistance testing of closures as specified in Section 8.23. Previously, the list of chemicals was specified as part of the Chapter 7 performance criteria. The Technical Committee moved the challenge lists to the respective test methods, but did not make this change for chemical penetration resistance testing. The proposed paragraph provides the needed specification for adding the chemical challenge chemicals as part of the test method. http://submittals.nfpa.org/terraviewweb/contentfetcher?commentparams=%28commenttype%3d%22scr%22%29&path=/terraview/content/1991 2005. 5/6
