The InterAgency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability (IAB) Releases Spring 2006 Standardized Equipment List (SEL):

The InterAgency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability (IAB) has released the Spring 2006 version of its Standardized Equipment List (SEL). The interactive version has been uploaded to the Responder Knowledge Base (www.rkb.mipt.org {Registration Required}).

This latest version of the SEL contains changes to many of the item descriptions, features, and operating considerations. It also includes new items such as a water distribution system, a combination respirator, forensic software for cyber security, and a fixed-site infrared chemical detector. Many of these changes may be adopted by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for inclusion in the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) used to determine grant allowability.

A list of proposed updates has been submitted to the DHS Preparedness Directorate's Office of Grants and Training for approval. When updates are made to the AEL, they will be reflected in the change log available on the Responder Knowledge Base AEL page, and will be loaded into the RKB's online AEL immediately after approval.
