This standard establishes requirements for the selection, care, and maintenance of fire fighting protective ensembles to reduce health and safety risks associated with improper maintenance, contamination, or damage.
NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus and NFPA’s efforts to safeguard our attendees at NFPA meetings, the upcoming pre-First Draft meeting is being held as a telephone/web conference (see Next Edition tab for details) on March 31, 2020. NFPA extends sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and continued interest in the development of NFPA Standards.
