The difference between fire resistant and fire retardant is whether the fire repelling property is inherent or not. Fire resistant clothing is made from fabrics that are inherently resistant to catching fire, while fire retardant fabrics have been chemically treated to give them these properties.
Certification is specific to each garment. Each garment lists which standards & certifications they meet.
• The requirements for protective clothing depend on your work environment and several elements in that environment need to be considered.
• Each industry has their own specific safety requirements depending on what environment you are working within. In addition, company requirements can also differ, so it is important to check with your employer or relevant industry body.
• Generally speaking, anyone in an environment that may be subject to flash fire or arch flash event may benefit from an FR garment.
