Note: As stated before, combinations of personal protective equipment other than those described for Levels A, B, C, <br />and D protection may be more appropriate and may be used to provide the proper level of protection. <br />As an aid in selecting suitable chemical protective clothing, it should be noted that the National Fire Protection <br />Association (NFPA) has developed standards on chemical protective clothing. The standards that have been adopted <br />by include: <br />NFPA 1991 - Standard on Vapor-Protective Suits for Hazardous Chemical Emergencies (EPA Level A Protective <br />Clothing) <br />NFPA 1992 - Standard on Liquid Splash-Protective Suits for Hazardous Chemical Emergencies (EPA Level B <br />Protective Clothing) <br />NFPA 1993 - Standard on Liquid Splash-Protective Suits for Non-emergency, Non-flammable Hazardous Chemical <br />Situations (EPA Level B Protective Clothing) <br />These standards apply documentation and performance requirements to the manufacture of chemical protective <br />suits. Chemical protective suits meeting these requirements are labeled as compliant with the appropriate standard. It <br />is recommended that chemical protective suits that meet these standards be used. <br />16
