There are two standards in place. The NFPA® (National Fire Protection Agency) 2112 Standard on Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire and its companion standard, NFPA® 2113 on Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of these garments, were issued to specify design, performance, certification requirements, and test methods for flame resistant garments for use in areas at risk from flash fires. In addition, NFPA® 2113 provides helpful guidance in the selection and specification of flame resistant garments including workplace hazards and assessments.
