Compliance: A judgment based on evidence that a product or service meets the requirements of a standard or regulation. Conformity assessment: Demonstration that specified requirements relating to a product, process, system, person or body are fufilledl. Declaration of conformity: A statement by the manufacturer or supplier, based on a decision following review, that fulillment of the requirements specified in this standard has been demonstrated. (Appendix B2) Dripping: A material response evidenced by flowing of the polymer. In evaluating the effects of flame contact or heat exposure of materials used in protective clothing, dripping may be the formation of liquid droplets from melted surface or substrate material during flame impingement. Flame resistance: The property of a material whereby flaming combustion is prevented, terminated, or inhibited following application of a flaming or non-flaming source of ignition, with or without subsequent removal of the ignition source. Flash fire: A fire that spreads rapidly through a diffuse fuel, such as dust, gas, or vapors of an ignitable liquid, without the production of damaging pressure.
Garments: Clothing including, but not limited to, coveralls, trousers, shirts, and outerwear. Melt: A response to heat by a material resulting in evidence of flowing or dripping. Model: The collective term used to identify a group of elements or items of the same basic design and components from a single manufacturer produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance procedures that are covered by the same declaration of conformity. Multiple use: Items that are designed and intended by the manufacturer to be worn multiple times. Predicted total burn injury: In the fire testing of clothing, the manikin surface area represented by all thermal energy sensors registering a predicted second-degree or predicted third-degree burn injury, expressed as a percentage. Primary flame resistant protective clothing: Protective clothing that is engineered for the primary purpose to provide protection to the wearer from flame and thermal hazards. NOTE: Compliance with 16CFR1610 (Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles), CAN/CGSB 4.2 No.27.5-2008 (Textile Test Methods一Flame Resistance一45° Angle Test – – – One Second Flame lmpingement) or other similar consumer safety standards does not imply flame resistance. Protective clothing material: Any material or combination of materials used in an item of clothing for the purpose of isolating parts of the body from a potential hazard. Sample: An amount of the material or product to be tested that is representative of the item as a whole. Secondary single-use flame resistant protective clothing: Protective clothing that is designed to be worn over primary flame resistant protective clothing without negatively impacting the burn injury protection levels of the primary flame resistant protective clothing.6.2 Flame Resistance Test When tested in accordance with ASTM D6413/D6413M-15, material(s) utilized in the construction of secondary single-use flame resistant protective clothing with a total area greater than 0.1 m2 shall have an average char length of not more than 7 inches (178 mm) and an average after-flame time of not more than 2 seconds. Failure in either direction shall constitute failure of the material. Upon examination, there shall be no evidence of material melt and drip. NOTE: Materials which cannot be tested in a free – standing form can be tested while attached to the underlying shell fabric. The tested configuration should be noted in the report form. Zippers and zipper tape are excluded from this requirement.ANSI ISEA 203 pdf download.
