EN ISO 14116

While the standard does deal with the issue of flame resistance to some extent, it is arguably more suited to outerwear that would usually be worn over other protective garments. For this reason ProGARM have opted to rather meet EN11612 which offers a higher standard of protection.

Clothing manufactured to this standard is made from flame retardant materials so that if the material comes into contact with a flame, it will only continue to burn for a limited amount of time. After removal from the flame, the material will stop burning. Clothing in this category should not be worn to protect against convective heat, radiant heat, molten metal or similar higher risk hazards.
