Firemaster Plus certified to new standard EN ISO 11612

The testing is now more rigorous and intensive on garments for the new standard.
• Safety standard EN 531 has now been replaced by EN ISO 11612 Clothing for heat and flame.
• The standards are targeted at testing finished garments, so now fabric, design specifications and garment features, such as seams have to comply.
• EN 11612 now includes F code for contact heat.
• Flame spread for EN11612 is tested both before and after laundry.
• Standard EN 531 used to test only the flame spread after 5 cycles, but with new standard EN 11612 ALL of the tests are made after 5 laundry cycles.
• Each wash cycle is now followed by drying, so for example, 100 washes goes through 100 dry cycles. Prior to this the garments were only dried after the final wash.
