Ordering Information5.1 It is useful for the purchas

41、er to consider the followingitems when buying rainwear under this specification. Includethese items, as necessary, in purchasing documents:5.1.1 Type of material,5.1.2 Fabric weight, g/m2(oz/yd2),5.1.3 Type and material of fasteners (buttons, snaps,zippers, or hook-and-loop fasteners),5.1.4 Reflecti

44、ed so that they are covered bythe rainwear outer layer material.6.2.1 This will result in the garment having a multiple layerconstruction in the area of the closure. This will also preventthe closure hardware from being directly exposed to thethermal hazard.NOTE 1In limited testing, it has been foun
