Small-Item Contact Test Method, FY11 Release

Abstract

In the decontamination business area, all emerging decontaminants and technologies are required to demonstrate the ability to meet a specified set of chemical efficacy performance requirements prior to transition into an acquisition program. One of the specific key performance parameters to be demonstrated is that of chemical agent decontamination efficacy. The chemical agent efficacy determination is accomplished through the execution of the standard panel contact and vapor tests, as documented in Test Operations Procedure (TOP) 8-2-061 and the 2007 Chemical Decontaminant Source Document. DTRA project DEC499 extended the test methodology suite by the development of contact test methods for small items of sensitive equipment. The final contact-sampling method, originally released in FY09, is being reissued as a public release method as the appendix in this report.
