Using scoring methods to assess the performance of CBRN personal protective systems in different scenarios.
conference paper
The past decades show an increasing variety in the design and application of personal protective equipment, PPE. Even within the PPE aimed at CBRN protection the future user can choose from a bewildering amount of producers and models. To make his predicament even worse he also has to deal with a fairly wide field of potential hazards and operational environments, being military or civilian.
Choosing correctly is then no easy task. Producers are confronted with a similar multidimensional problem: how can they design equipment for either specific or broad-spectrum applications and how can they demonstrate the applicability of their suits? This asks for a systematic process, starting at an operational need and ending at realized capabilities.
