Statistical Assessment of the XM40 Masks and US-10 Respirator

Abstract

The Chemical Research and Development Center (CRDC) asked the BRL to conduct an independent analysis of the data obtained from the Engineering Design Test (EDT-2G) of the XM40 series protective masks and British US-10 respirator. This analysis is one of many analyses from which results were used to determine if the masks are reliable enough to enter into the next phase of testing,, DT II/OT II. Several problem areas have been identified from the analyses of the tests performed on the Scott and ILC masks, and the US-10 respirator. The most serious problems seem to have been corrected, therefore, the Readiness for Test Review (RFTR) committee has decided to allow the masks to enter DT II/OT II testing. Keywords: reliability; and statistical assessment.
