1.1?This specification is used to standardize the portable air heaters used on personnel decontamination lines to insure the heaters provide sufficient heated air for personnel comfort before, during, and after the decontamination for as long as they are needed during the emergency. Note 1:?These heaters are not intended to be used for the
decontamination for any other surface or material. Also, these
heaters are intended to be portable and easy to use by first
responders during a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear,
and explosive (CBRNE) event.
1.2?This specification contains a specification section and a test methods section so users need to refer to the section applicable to their needs when using this standard specification. 1.3?The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. Note 2:?The U.S. first responder personnel using the equipment
manufactured under this standard are not likely to be familiar with
SI units so English units need to be included as part of the system
documentation and shown on control panels for any equipment sold to
U.S. organizations.
