Can any respirator be worn with each Homeland Defender® suit?
No. Because every respirator face piece is constructed differently, the NFPA 1994 Standard requires that ensembles be certified with specific SCBA’s, APR’s, or PAPR’s to insure user safety. Only respirators that are certified by NIOSH as CBRN approved and listed on each Homeland Defender® ensemble’s certification may be worn.
