3.2 Contaminant Identification
3.5 Specific Regulatory/Standard/Industry Respirator Requirements
3.9 Methods for determining the RPD protection required
3.10 Hazard Ratio Measurement

Throughout the Respirator Selection Tool, there are various sections that recommend ISO rating/classification with a corresponding AS/NZS 1715/1716 rating/classification (where it exists). This information is drawn from populated information into the tool back end but does create an equivalence table to compare the different ratings which can found via the link below.
