Reduce the severity of flash fire burn injury and increase survival odds by following the latest rules for flame-resistant clothing in the 2012 NFPA 2112.
NFPA 2112: Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Firespecifies the minimum design, performance, certification, and testing requirements for flame-resistant fabric and garments for use in areas at risk from flash fires.
Major changes in the 2012 edition include:

- Added definition and testing requirements for cold weather insulation materials to ensure that garments incorporating such insulation material are properly tested and certified.
- Clarification of laundering requirements to prevent the presence of residual detergent during testing.
This critical Standard is essential for manufacturers and certifying agencies of fire-resistant garments for industrial personnel.
