2 of 177 1/16/2017 8:38 AM Second Revision No. 74-NFPA [ Detail ] Add the following new subsection and its annex material: * Emblems that are placed on the exterior of the garment and are represented as being flame resistant shall be tested for flame resistance as specified in Section 8.3, shall have an afterflame of not more than 2 seconds, and shall not melt and drip. A If non-flame-resistant emblems are attached to the exterior of a garment, the maximum number should be five with no individual emblem covering an area greater than 103 cm 2 (16.0 in. 2 ) or total area from all these emblems covering an area greater than 258 cm 2 (40 in. 2 ). Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Sonia Barbosa Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Mon Dec 12 09:19:39 EST 2016 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: Large emblems or heraldry that are not flame resistant should be either limited in their size or subject to testing commensurate with other fabrics used in the construction of the garment. This establish clearer definitions, performance criteria, and test methods to evaluate large labels when applied. This provides criteria for flame resistance of such emblems.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Sonia Barbosa Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Mon Dec 12 11:04:39 EST 2016 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: Reflective striping is attached to fabric during flame testing and therefore char length is not something that can be measured effectively during testing. Additionally, section removes the requirement for measuring char length. By separating reflective striping to a separate paragraph and removing the char length requirement, consistency is added to the requirements.

6 of 177 1/16/2017 8:38 AM Second Revision No. 76-NFPA [ Detail ] Add section text for 8.5.4: When tested in accordance with 8.5.4, results for 4.5 osy garments shall fall within range of 30 percent to 42 percent predicted body burn, and results for 6 osy garments shall fall within range of 16 percent to 24 percent predicted body burn to test garments for compliance to this standard. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Sonia Barbosa Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Mon Dec 12 11:16:28 EST 2016 Committee Statement Committee Statement: ASTM F1930, unless further modified to reduce test variation between laboratories, is not adequately specified for use in this NFPA standard. Therefore, a standardization test using specific reference garments should be added to the manikin test to assure agreement of results between accredited laboratories. The thermal manikin test as currently practiced produces predicted body burn values with extreme variance between laboratories. For example, recent round robin testing performed by five participating laboratories at the direction of NFPA 2112 thermal manikin task group produced values for compliant fabrics ranging from 9.2% to 44.4% predicted body burn (Fabric B), 13.8% to 42% predicted body burn (Fabric F), and 13.5% to 29.6% predicted body burn (Fabric D). Response Message: The wide range of values between test laboratories could result in a fabric both failing and passing NFPA 2112 certification when tested at different laboratories, resulting in unsafe products for industrial personnel.

Hewston, Darren D. Kirby, Jill Kopko, Bob Moody, Joshua D. Morton-Aslanis, John Pickard, David P. Reason, Jason P. Shiels, Brian P. Spears, Brian M. Stanhope, Michael T. Statham, Denise N. Wedge, David C. Wu, Neil P. Negative with Comment Dale, James Douglas Specifying a range of allowable % body burn to fabric weight is to restrictive. Yes there was a large variation in the predicted % burn injury for any one garment in the round robin. What was not asked of the laboratories in the round robin was for them to demonstrate compliance with a critical test required in F Statement The manikin testing community knows from other round robin testing that this compliance was not shown by laboratories that participated in the NFPA testing. Parry, Roger F. The requirements established in Section "8.5.4 Standard Reference Garments." are arbitrary and exclusionary. They represent requirements, that if accepted, constitute an unreasonable restraint of trade (laboratories who conduct manikin testing certified to ASTM F1930). As such, this section is in conflict with NFPA's stated Antitrust Policy and must be removed. Specifically, there are no industry or otherwise accepted total predicted burn injury values for the reference garments noted. The values identified here come from a technical committee rework of SR-52 PI submitters desire for their performance, not from any peer-reviewed scientific or statistical analysis of data based on a large dataset of publicly available test results from multiple laboratories who perform this test. Essentially the SR-52 submitter (from which this is derived) did not like the results from other laboratories and sought to exclude them from performing NPFA 2112 manikin testing by introducing the restricted ranges noted. For example, application of the desired testing requirements to the laboratories who participated in the recent round robin noted in the submitters substantiation (labs certified to ASTM F1930) would essentially exclude 3 of the 5 with no technical justification other than the submitter did not like their testing results. Saner, Mark S. Unless the F1930 test is more specific on the manikin design and sensor technology used, it would make more

8 of 177 1/16/2017 8:38 AM sense to me that each test lab have a "correction" factor based on an average of the results from various labs. This puts everyone's results in line. This is supposed to be a pass fail test, and does not represent a real flash fire, so the actual number isn't particularly meaningful.
