Subpart A-General Provisions $84.1 Purpose. The purpose of the regulations contained in this part 84 is: (a) To establish procedures and prescribe requirements which must be met in filing applications for approval by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of respirators or changes or modifications of approved respirators; (b) To establish a schedule of fees to be charged each applicant for the inspections, examinations, and testing conducted by the Institute under the provisions of this part; (c) To provide for the issuance of certificates of approval or modifications of certificates of approval for respirators which have met the applicable construction, performance, and respiratory protection requirements set forth in this part; and (d) To specify minimum requirements and to prescribe methods to be employed by the Institute and by the applicant in conducting inspections, examinations, and tests to determine the effectiveness of respirators used during entry into or escape from hazardous atmospheres. § 84.2 Definitions. As used in this part (a) Applicant means an individual, partnership, company, corporation, association, or other organization that designs, manufactures, assembles, or controls the assembly of a respirator and who seeks to obtain a certificate of approval for such respirator. (b) Approval means a certificate or formal document issued by the Institute stating that an individual respirator or combination of respirators grestinny pas means of sores & compressed aggies zu die wearer in gas s sound pressure levels 2 437 wygen derment atmosphere.

(2) Each certification for a respirator esigned for mine rescue or other mergency use in mines shall include, is a condition of approval, any use limitations related to mine safety and health. (b) NIOSH and MSHA shall jointly determine appropriate recall and retrofit remedies for fleld complaints or identified deficiencies involving any 15 respirators used in the mining environment. Subpart B-Application for $84.10 Application procedures. (a) Inspection, examination, and testing leading to the approval of the types of respirators classified in subpart F of this part shall be undertaken by the Institute only pursuant to written applications which meet the minimum requirements set forth in this subpart B. (b) Applications shall be submitted to the Certification and Quality Assurance Branch, and shall be accompanied by a check, bank draft, or money order in the amount specified in subpart C of this part, payable to the order of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. (c) Except as provided in §84.64, the examination, inspection, and testing of all respirators shall be conducted by the Certification and Quality Assurance Branch. or (d) Applicants, manufacturers, their representatives may visit or communicate with the Certification and Quality Assurance Branch in order to discuss the requirements for approval of any respirator or the proposed designs thereof. No charge shall be made for such consultation and no written report shall be issued to applicants, manufacturers, or their representatives by the Institute as a result of such consultation. (e) Respirators having electrical or electronic components that are required to be permissible under chapter I of title 30 shall be tested in accordance with 30 CFR part 18. Applications for approval of such respirators by MSHA shall be submitted in writing to: MSHA, Approval and Certification Center, Box 251, Industrial Park Road, Triadelphia, West Virginia 26059. $84.11 Contents of application. (a) Each application for approval shall contain a complete written description of the respirator for which approval is requested together with drawings and specifications (and lists thereof) showing full details of con |
