ArcWear is proud to announce another Scope Expansion in UL’s Third Party Data Acceptance Program (TPDAP). This is ArcWear’s second scope expansion since joining the Program in July 2019.
We recently expanded our standards development efforts to include NFPA 1971. In line with that, we have now brought on additional NFPA 1971 tests into our UL Scope. With the expansion, ArcWear can now provide UL with certification data on all small-scale fabric tests required by NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506, as well as three fabric tests for NFPA 1971.
