Decontamination to the 5X level indicates the equipment or facilities have been completely decontaminated, are free of agent and may be released for general use or to the public (reference 18~. The current standard Army criteria to meet the 5X requirement is to maintain the temperature of the article at 1000°F for 15 minutes ensuring agent destruction (reference 27~.
