Scope

This document specifies the performance requirements for the limited flame spread properties of all materials, all material assemblies, and protective clothing in order to reduce the possibility of the clothing burning when in occasional and brief contact with small flames and thereby constituting a hazard. Additional requirements for clothing are also specified, including design requirements, mechanical requirements, marking, and information supplied by the manufacturer.

When protection against heat hazards is necessary, in addition to protection against flame, this document is not appropriate. International Standards such as ISO/DIS 11612:2023 are to be used instead.

A classification system is given for materials, material assemblies, and garments which are tested according to ISO 15025:2016, Procedure A.
