NFPA 2112

NFPA 2112 Standard on Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire, is a commonly used standard specification for the evaluation of flame resistant clothing. In the most recent edition of NFPA 2112, gloves and shrouds, hoods, and balaclavas were included; certification programs for these products are available. The standard is cited by OSHA for those drilling in the oil and gas industry. Third-party certification (testing and audits by an ISO 17065 body) is required to label compliance with NFPA 2112. ArcWear partners with SEI to offer third-party certification for garment manufacturers. Our team is pleased to assist with NFPA 2112 evaluations and R&D testing before the final certification process. When using FlashCert by ArcWear, our test data is typically accepted by SEI for up to one year. NFPA 2112 Testing Methods:

• ASTM F2700 – Heat Transfer Performance
• ASTM F1930 – Manikin Test
• ASTM F2894 – Heat and Thermal Shrinkage
• ASTM D6413 – before and after 100 wash cycles
• ASTM D7138 Method B – Thread Melt
