This document describes how to calculate the work performed by a person’s respiratory muscles with and without the external respiratory impediments that are imposed by RPD of all kinds, except diving equipment. This document describes how much additional impediment people can tolerate and contains values that can be used to judge the acceptability of an RPD. NOTE These calculations are explained in some textbooks on respiratory physiology (in the absence of an RPD), but most omit them or are incomplete in their explanations.

This document specifies detailed information to assist the responsible person to select, use and maintain respiratory protective devices (RPD) in the context of a pandemic/epidemic/outbreak of infectious respiratory disease at the workplace. This document is intended for workplace applications and to guide those developing pandemic-related respiratory protection programs. The guidance contained in this document is not intended to be exhaustive but highlights important aspects to which attention is given. It is used in conjunction with ISO/TS 16975-1, ISO/TS 16975-2 and ISO 16975-3 for all workplaces, including healthcare. This document focuses on particle filtering RPD only, as respiratory protection against pathogens. This document does not apply to RPD programmes for RPD used exclusively for medical life support respirators and resuscitators. The information contained in this document can be used to assist in the preparation of national or local regulations and guidance; however, this document does not supersede national or local regulations and guidance. This document is not applicable to non-workplace situations.

This document provides information on factors related to human anthropometry, physiology, ergonomics, and performance for the preparation of standards for performance requirements, testing, and use of respiratory protective devices. This document contains information related to respiratory and metabolic responses to rest and work at various intensities. Information is provided for the following: metabolic rates associated with various intensities of work; oxygen consumption as a function of metabolic rate and minute ventilation for persons representing three body sizes; peak inspiratory flow rates during conditions of speech and no speech for persons representing three body sizes as a function of metabolic rates. The information contained within this document represents data for healthy adult men and women of approximately 30 years of age, but is considered to be applicable for the age range of the worker population.

This document gives: a description of the composition of the Earth's atmosphere; a description of the physiology of human respiration; a survey of the current biomedical literature on the effects of carbon dioxide and oxygen on human physiology; examples of environmental circumstances where the partial pressure of oxygen or carbon dioxide can vary from that found at sea level. This document identifies oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration limit values and the length of time within which they would not be expected to impose physiological distress. To adequately illustrate the effects on human physiology, this document addresses both high altitude exposures where low partial pressures are encountered and underwater diving, which involves conditions with high partial pressures. The use of respirators and various work rates during which RPD can be worn are also included.

This document specifies the requirements for respiratory protective devices for use by workers during response to incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) materials used with intent to cause harm or in cases of accidental release outside traditional hazardous materials response categories. For the purposes of this specification, all incidents described here are named CBRN incidents. This document is applicable to RPD for use by personnel in the following roles: — First responders: including police, fire service, emergency medical, search and rescue, sampling and detection teams. — Workers needed for specific roles during response (utility, transportation, service continuity). — Medical personnel working with casualties of CBRN incidents. — Responders to release incidents involving nuclear materials. — Non-emergency but CBRN-related roles. — Workers in need of protection during escape from a CBRN or radiological release incident. — Workers in need of protection from nuclear materials. The requirements for RPD use by the following groups are not addressed by this document: — Military personnel outside of first responder roles. — Children. — Animals. Requirements for the following are not covered by this document: — Collective protection systems including ventilated casualty/body bags. — Methods of and criteria for decontamination of RPD. — Disposal of used or contaminated equipment. This document is focused on respiratory protection requirements, but it is recognised that CBRN RPD are always used as part of an ensemble with protective clothing. The total ensemble effectiveness is not covered by this document.
