Previous SEL Number: 01ZA-05-UNFR

Description: Flame-resistant undergarment (certified as compliant with NFPA 2112 or the flame-resistant option of NFPA 1975).

ImportantFeatures: Garments are constructed of intrinsically flame-resistant or flame-retardant treated materials of varying weights. Garment designs may include coveralls, or shirt and pant outfits with variations in specific styling features. Garments certified to either the flame resistance option of NFPA 1975 or NFPA 2112 are capable of providing these requirements, though some may be too heavy a weight for use as an undergarment.

Operating Considerations: The selected coverall or pants and shirt should be relatively lightweight and not restrict movement. They should be sized for a relatively close fit with the individual to prevent interference with wearing of the ensemble. Even though NFPA 2112 is not intended for emergency response applications, garments certified to this standard are suitable as flame-resistant garments because they are tested to criteria that meet or exceed the flame-resistant garment option requirements in NFPA 1975 .

Use undergarments as specified in NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program. Selection, care, use, and maintenance of garments should be per NFPA 2113, Standard for Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire.
