NIOSH Certification

Q. How do I determine whether or not my equipment is NIOSH certified?

A. Your equipment will have a TC (Approval) Number located directly on the equipment. All NIOSH-approved respirators have a testing and certification (TC) approval number (e.g., TC84A-XXXX). The NIOSH approval label will also be found within the respirator packaging, it indicates the TC approval number as well as protection type. NIOSH approval labels used in conjunction with the applicant's user instructions provide essential information to know if the configured RPD (respirator assembly) is NIOSH-approved. 

Once you have your TC number, look up the CDC website here: https:/wwwn.cdc.gov, LINK
