Equipment Standardization
 For several years, ECBC has tested and evaluated the performance
of new equipment designed to protect against, detect or decontaminate
chemical and biological agents for government agencies and private companies.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, ECBC has been called upon to assist in the development
of the very standards by which this equipment is appraised.
A world leader in providing reliable science, technology and engineering
solutions to chemical and biological related problems, ECBC is heading
a national effort to standardize and validate various chemical and biological
defense equipment earmarked for military deployment or civilian use. For more information on these and other services please contact engineering.directorate@apgea.army.mil.
