Workwear for the Protection Against Hydrocarbon Flash Fire
Scope:
1.1 This standard states the minimum requirements for performance of workwear worn for protection against unplanned exposure to hydrocarbon flash fire.
1.1.1 This standard establishes performance requirements and test methods for evaluation of components used to construct work wear.
1.1.2 Work wear meeting this standard is intended to provide a degree of protection to the wearer and reduce the severity of injury should a hydrocarbon flash fire occur. For the purposes of this standard, "protective" does not mean that a wearer will suffer no burns if exposed to flash fire while wearing workwear meeting this standard.
1.1.3 This standard refers to protective work wear that will be worn as the outermost garment.
1.1.4 This standard refers to protective work wear that individually or in combination covers the body from the neck to the wrists and feet, that may or may not cover the neck, head, hands and feet.
1.2 This standard does not apply to specialized protective clothing such as proximity suits, fire fighters' protective clothing and fire-entry clothing. It is not intended to establish requirements for protection from chemical, radiological, electrical or biological hazards.
