This request is made in e

originally approved by t.he Bureau of The Chemox respirator was Mines (Approval Nurbor 1307).
To de.te, the National Institute for Occupatior: 21 Safety and lloulth/Mine Safety and licalth Administration (NIOSil/MSilA) har extended the Bureau of Mines approval for use of the Chemox until further notice.
When the Chemox was originally

Due to the fact that:

.E 1.
Ultravue small liycar rubber (part number 476850) 2.
Ultravue r all silicone rubber (no part number) 3.
Ultravue large liycar rubber (part number 476851)
Both Ultravue Hycar rubber facopieces have been available as accessories to the Chemox respirator in recent years.
The Ultravue silicone rubber facepiece, however, had not been tested for use with the Chemox respirator by MSA unt il requested to do so by Beaver Va lley.
The results of this testing, which are attached for your

Per our discussion, the following information addresses the testing MSA has conducted on the spall.:ize silicone facepiece for use with the Cherox respirator sys';e.a.
Notabolic simulator testing was performed using an A4 closed-circuit breathing apparatus with a smal] silicone Ultravue facopicco.
The toat protocol followed was the current test plan performed on Chamox canisters for QC acceptance. _The purposo of the test was to dotarmine if there would be any adverse perfort.ance effects due te the change in the materiel and size of the facopiece.
The results of the testing showed no adverse effect; from the change in facepiece size and material.
Attached for your inf 0rnation and record are the graphs of the data collected during the test.
All parameters meet the requirements for the
~
Chemox canister and are within the expected values.
