Chemical Agent Detector Kits

Abstract

TOP 8-2-555 establishes general procedures and guidance for determining the technical performance and safety aspects of chemical agent detector kits that are designed to detect the presence of chemical agents in the atmosphere, on the surfaces of various materials (metal, wood, glass, cloth, etc.), and in water. These procedures include: test preparations, test controls, receipt inspection, safety analysis, operator training, initial performance, accelerated packaged storage and sequential rough handling, adverse environments, operations with arctic and CB protective clothing, NBC contamination survivability, airdrop capability, battlefield interferents/ contaminants, HFE analysis, logistic supportability evaluation, and sensitivity (chemical agent detection reliability). Data reduction and presentation are also describes. Keywords: Human factors engineering.
