本标准提供了总统政策指令8（PPD-8）中关于在响应任务区使用PRND仪器的培训要求，该指令描述了五种准备能力:响应、恢复、缓解、预防和保护。本标准中涉及的PRND仪器在第2条中的规范性参考文件中进行了描述。ANSI N42中描述了在预防和保护任务区使用相同仪器的培训。37.拥有ANSI N42。37 ANSI N42之前的培训。60培训可能有帮助，但不是必需的。对于非PRND仪器，组织可以根据需要应用本标准的培训要求，并认为适合其响应任务。

This standard provides training requirements on the use of PRND instrumentation for the Response mission areas from Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) that describes five preparedness capabilities: Response, Recovery, Mitigation, Prevention, and Protection. The PRND instrumentation addressed in this standard are described in the normative references in Clause 2. Training to use the same instrumentation for the Prevention and Protection mission areas is described in ANSI N42.37. Having ANSI N42.37 training before ANSI N42.60 training may be helpful, but is not required. For non-PRND instrumentation, organizations may apply training requirements from this standard as needed and considered appropriate for their Response missions.
