Socks and hosiery are items that are covered by the Flammable Fabrics Act and need to comply with the Wearing Apparel Flammability Standard. Socks and/or hosiery might be exempt from testing due to weight or fiber content; however, they must still comply with the Standard. If they comply to the standard either by testing or by an exemption to testing, they will need to be listed on a certificate of conformity.
