Letter to All Respirator Manufacturers
August 26, 2005
Subject: Revised Standard Application Procedures for the Certification
of Respirators
At a public meeting held on July 21, 2005, NIOSH introduced the final
version of the Standard Application Procedures for the Certification
of Respirators, Revision 1, with an issue date of July 2005.
Effective July 14, 2005, NIOSH will require that each applicant who
requests NIOSH certification comply with the requirements set forth in
the July 2005 version of the SAP. To accommodate manufacturers who may
have requests for approval underway, NIOSH will allow a six month grace
period, until January 1, 2006, to identify all User’s Instructions
on the relevant assembly matrix.
The Standard Application Procedures are available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/resources/certpgmspt/default.html and
are downloadable for your use.
For questions or further explanation of this notice, please contact
NPPTL at 412-386-4000.
Sincerely yours,
Heinz W. Ahlers
Acting Chief, Respirator Branch
