26、alPersonnelAgainst Flash Fire, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Flash Fire ProtectiveGarments, and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June 12-15,2011, in Boston, MA. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 11, 2011, with aneffective date of August 31,
27、2011, and supersedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 2112 was approved as an American National Standard on August 31,2011.Origin and Development of NFPA 2112The NFPA Standards Council established the Technical Committee on Flash Fire Protec-tive Garments in 1998. Between February and Augu
28、st of 1999, the Technical Committeedeveloped two draft standards: NFPA 2112 and NFPA 2113, Standard on Selection, Care, Use, andMaintenance of Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire,which were then released for public proposals and comments. NFPA 2112 spec
29、ifies the mini-mum design, performance, certification requirements, and test methods for flame-resistantgarments for use in areas at risk from flash fires. The first editions of NFPA 2112 andNFPA 2113 were approved by the NFPA membership at the May 2001 NFPA World Fire SafetyCongress and were issued
30、 by the Standards Council in July 2001.The 2007 edition revised the scope to clarify that the standard applies to the performanceof fabrics and components of garments and not the garment itself. The scope was also modi-fied to indicate that NFPA 2112 does not apply to single-use or limited-use garme
31、nts. TheCommittee pursued the development of separate documents to address the design, testing,certification, selection, and use of those garments. This revision also incorporated updates toreference test methods and the method for calculating total heat flux.The 2012 edition has updated the term fr
32、om thermal protective performance to heat transferperformance and has incorporated ASTM F 2700, Standard Test Method for Unsteady-State HeatTransfer Evaluation of Flame Resistant Materials for Clothing with Continuous Heating, as the testmethod. The test method previously shown in the standard was r
33、emoved, because it dupli-cated the ASTM F 2700 method. A definition for cold weather insulation material and testingrequirements were added to ensure that garments incorporating such insulation material areproperly tested and certified. The 2012 edition clarifies certain aspects of the launderingreq
