Flame-resistant clothing for industrial personnel exposed to short-duration thermal events from fire.
NFPA 2112:2023 sets design, performance, testing and certification requirements for flame-resistant clothing used by industrial personnel exposed to short-duration fire hazards.
Measures heat transfer under combined convective and radiant exposure, as received and after 3 cleaning cycles.
Body-fabric HTP limits for contact and spaced sensor arrangements:
| Arrangement | Minimum HTP |
|---|---|
| Spaced | 6.0 cal/cm² (25 J/cm²) |
| Contact | 3.0 cal/cm² (12.6 J/cm²) |
Measures vertical-flame response during a 12 s burner exposure, before and after the required cleaning.
Body fabric: char length ≤ 100 mm; afterflame ≤ 2 s; no melting or dripping.
Assesses material condition and dimensional change after 5 min at 260°C (500°F).
Body-fabric shrinkage ≤ 10% in either direction. Checks melting, dripping, separation and ignition.
Tests standardized specimen garments on an instrumented manikin during a 3 s simulated-fire exposure.
Predicted second- and third-degree body burn (%), plus breakopen observations.
Covers construction, closures, components and product information.
Independent certification of the finished garment.
Permanent multi-norm protection balanced with all-day wearer comfort.
