ICS 13.340.10

TXD 32

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard specifies the general and performance requirements for fire resistant fabric made of cotton, man-made fibres/filaments and their blends.

1.2 This standard covers the following 3 categories of fire resistant fabric:

a) Fire-resistant fabric utilized in the manufacture of clothing for use in the oil and gas sector, foundries, automotive industries, aviation sectors, and allied industries;

b) Fire-resistant fabric used in the manufacture of clothing for use during welding, and allied activities; and

c) Fire-resistant fabric utilized in the manufacture of clothing for use in the construction sites, and allied activities.
