NIOSH Revokes Approvals for Six Filtering Facepiece Respirators

As of Dec. 31, 2024, NIOSH has revoked six approval numbers issued to the company Aegle PPE 1 LLC due to Aegle’s “[failure] to maintain their quality management system, resulting in a failure to execute their quality control system.” The agency’s notice affects filtering facepiece respirators with the approval numbers 84A-9314, 84A-9353, 84A-9368, 84A-9390, 84A-9391, and 84A-9395. Respirators bearing these revoked NIOSH approval numbers may no longer be used, manufactured, assembled, sold, or distributed.

The notice can be found on the website of the NIOSH National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, which provides a list of additional guidance documents intended to inform users of respiratory protective devices.

Respirator users and others can use NIOSH’s certified equipment list to confirm testing and certification approval numbers, which are printed on NIOSH-approved respirators.
