About

This two-day workshop will examine standards gaps related to personal protective equipment (PPE) and personal protective technology (PPT) and explore innovative approaches and technologies to update and streamline the U.S. standardization system for PPE and PPT in support of supply chain resiliency. It will provide the opportunity to engage and exchange knowledge and ideas among key partners - including policy makers, manufacturers, users, and relevant technical contributors - and to facilitate discussion on opportunities to improve the effectiveness, safety, supply stability, and accessibility of PPE/PPT designed for use in U.S. health care settings, by critical infrastructure workers, and by the general public.
