UL certification
Key points for selecting FR protective clothing
Must be certified by NFPA 2112-2023 and comply with the latest standard requirements.
UL certification documents are required to prove that the product is compatible with various fabrics and weight specifications.
The arc performance needs to be tested by a well-known third-party laboratory according to ASTM F1959 standard.
Clearly state that the ASTM 1930 instrument human body model test report ≠ NFPA 2112 certification to avoid confusion.


Key Certification and Standard Analysis
What is NFPA 2112?
Developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts.
The minimum requirements for the design, construction, evaluation, and certification of industrial flame-retardant fabrics are established to protect the wearer from burns caused by high temperatures or flash fires.
The 2023 updated version revised the human body model testing program and added standard clothing design requirements, which are the latest compliance basis.


Why is PPE clothing certification crucial?
Certification directly corresponds to clear safety standards, and the product has passed relevant protection parameter tests.
Certified PPE clothing is designed and manufactured to provide reliable protection and ensure the safety and health of workers in hazardous environments.


Important Notice
Industrial personnel, manufacturers, and certification bodies need to have a comprehensive understanding of NFPA 2112 standards. This standard specifies the necessary requirements for personnel to withstand short-term heat exposure from fires, and compliance with the standard is key to ensuring the safety of workers in industrial environments.
