Description:NIOSH issued an earlier version of this Conformity Assessment Letter to Manufacturers (CA 2020-1031) in August 2020 to address the overwhelming number of new applications submitted to the NIOSH Respirator Approval Program as well as the serious and ongoing attempts to defraud the Program. The February 2021 version of this Letter provides new guidance on fraud and fraudulent statements. The February 2021 version of this Letter also updates the prioritization order for accepting and examining particulate filtering respirator approval applications and clarifies NIOSH’s definitions of “domestic manufacturer” and “non-domestic manufacturer.”
