NFPA 2112

The National Fire Protection Agency's (NFPA) 2112

• For oil & petrochemical industries, this standard mandates that employees wear flame-resistant clothing if the potential for flash fire exists.

NFPA 70E

The National Fire Protection Agency's (NFPA) 70E is a Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces

• It requires employees to wear flame resistant protective clothing wherever there is possible exposure to an electric arc flash.
• For oil & petrochemical industries, this standard mandates that employees wear flame-resistant clothing if the potential for flash fire exists.

HRC 2

An HRC or Hazard Risk Category is a rating for FR clothing that indicates the level of protection the garment provides.

• HRC 0 represents the least amount of protection
• HRC 4 represents the most protection
• Most of Ariat's clothing falls within HRC 1 or 2 based on their APV ratings

ATPV 20

An Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) is a rating assigned to flame-resistant clothing indicating the level of protection provided.

• Higher-weight fabrics typically have a higher ATPV and provide increased protection (as does the layering of FR clothing).

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Warning: Failure to launder garment properly can result in loss of flame resistance properties.
• Flame resistant clothing should be laundered separately from the family wash to prevent cross contamination.
• Washing new garments before wearing is recommended.  Wash new garments separately from other garments.
• Turn garment inside out before washing for best results.
• Machine was using typical home launder detergent.
