SUMMARY:

The NIJ and the Technical Support Working Group are hosting a workshop in conjunction with the 2105 Personal Protective Equipment Workshop in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The focus of the workshop is the research conducted in support of the revision of NIJ Standard 0116.00 CBRN Protective Ensemble Standard for Law Enforcement, found at https://www.ncjrs.gov/​pdffiles1/​nij/​221916.pdf. The session is intended to inform manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies, and other interested parties of these standards development efforts. The workshop is being held specifically to discuss recent progress made toward the revision and to receive input, comments, and recommendations.

Space is limited at the workshop, and as a result, only 50 participants will be allowed to register for each session. It is requested that each organization limit their representatives to no more than two per organization. Exceptions to this limit may occur, should space allow. Participants planning to attend are responsible for their own travel arrangements.

DATES:

The workshop will be held on Friday, December 18, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
