AirTec™ Flamegard Carbon III (Orange) fabric meets the following standards:

• AS/NZS 6530:2006

  Standard Identifier: Protective Clothing Protection against liquid chemicals test method for resistance of materials to penetration by liquids.

• EN533:1997

  Standard Identifier: Protective clothing. Protection against heat and flame. Limited flame spread materials and material assemblies

• EN1149-3 Method 2

  Standard Identifier: Protective clothing. Electrostatic properties. Test methods for measurement of charge decay

  Method 2 anti-static requirements for clothing. This test method is for measurement of charge decay. This means a charge across or through a material leading to a reduction of charge density. Test method 2 measures the strength of the electric field on a recording device.

• Chemical Test Standard ASTM F903-03 Performance Results

  Resistance of materials used in protective clothing to penetration by liquids.

  Procedure C: 0 psig for 5 minutes followed by 2psig (13.8kPa) for 1 minutes followed by 0psig for 54 minutes

  Samples of the fabric are clamped over a PTFE test cell and held vertically so that the face of the fabric forms one side of the cell. The cell is filled with the test liquid and a stopwatch started. At all times the fabric is observed for penetration by the liquid.

  The fabric is said to fail if a droplet of liquid appears indicating penetration of liquid through to the viewing side of the specimen. Identification of penetration of droplets is effected by use of blotting paper.
