Certified and approved based on ASTM standards, flame resistant (FR) clothing is essential for workers exposed to thermal hazards like flames and high temperatures. When deciding between different FR clothing options, keep in mind that:
It's important to consider factors such as durability, level of protection, comfort, and cost when choosing between FR clothing items. It's also important to think about the needs and requirements of the wearer and the working environment, as characteristics between clothing items can vary, especially when considering flame resistant versus fire-retardant clothing.
Magid offers both inherently FR and treated FR solutions as well as options with dual-hazard protection to shield against both electric arc flash and hydrocarbon flash fires. We offer NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E compliant garments in CAT Levels 1 to 4 to provide your workers with safe and reliable protection for a variety of applications. These ratings indicate how much protection is needed based on the energy created by an arc flash incident (in calories per cm²) with higher ratings indicating a greater level of protection.
NFPA 70E Guidelines
| Category | Minimum Arc Rating |
| 1 | 4 cal/cm² |
| 2 | 8 cal/cm² |
| 3 | 25 cal/cm² |
| 4 | 40 cal/cm² |
