NFPA 1994 establishes
minimum requirements for
ensembles and ensemble
elements for fire and
emergency services
personnel exposed to
victims and agents during assessment, extrication,
rescue, triage, and treatment operations at chemical and
biological terrorism incidents.
The requirements of the Standard address the design,
performance, testing, documentation, and certification of
these protective ensembles that provide protection for fire
and emergency services personnel from terrorism agents
including dual-use industrial chemicals, chemical
terrorism agents, or biological terrorism agents.
The standard establishes three levels of protective
ensembles, Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 ensembles,
that could be selected for protection of fire and emergency
services personnel based on what the incident risk
analysis indicates is necessary protection for the intended
operations.
