What is Fire Resistant Clothing?

Fire resistant clothing—also known as FR clothing, flame-retardant apparel, or arc-rated garments—is designed to protect workers by self-extinguishing when exposed to flames or thermal hazards. Unlike standard fabrics, FR materials do not melt or drip, significantly reducing the risk of severe burns and secondary injuries.

This protective gear is essential for workers in high-risk environments such as oil and gas fields, electric utilities, welding shops, chemical plants, and foundries. FR garments offer not just protection, but also peace of mind knowing that you meet compliance standards and reduce injury risks in the workplace.

Fire Resistant Clothing Standards & Certifications

When selecting fire resistant clothing, it’s critical to ensure your gear meets or exceeds industry compliance regulations. Our FR clothing is certified to the following key safety standards:

  • NFPA 2112 – Performance requirements for flame-resistant garments for protection against flash fire
  • ASTM F1506 – Standard performance specification for arc-rated clothing used in electric arc exposure
  • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 – Safety requirements for power generation and electrical utility workers
  • ANSI/ISEA 107 – High-visibility safety apparel for enhanced on-site protection

We only stock FR gear that is tested and approved to these standards—so you can protect your team with confidence.

Fire Resistant Clothing FAQs 

Is fire resistant the same as fire retardant? 

Fire resistant (FR) clothing is made from materials that are inherently resistant to flames or have been chemically treated to self-extinguish. Fire retardant typically refers to the chemical treatment applied to a material to delay combustion. Both terms aim to reduce burn risks but describe slightly different attributes.

How should I wash FR clothing? 

FR clothing should be washed separately using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the protective qualities. Always follow the manufacturer’s care label for the best results.

Do FR garments expire or wear out?

Yes, FR protection can diminish over time due to wear, improper care, or repeated wash cycles. Inspect garments regularly for signs of damage, and replace them if the fabric becomes thin, torn, or loses its labels/certification markings.

What’s the difference between inherent and treated FR fabrics?

Inherent FR fabrics are made from fibers that are naturally flame-resistant and will retain their properties for the life of the garment. Treated FR fabrics are made from standard materials that are chemically treated to provide flame resistance, which can fade over time and repeated laundering.
