ASTM F 1506

 Return to Glossary
ASTM F 1506 details the minimum performance levels necessary for a fabric or multiple fabrics as layers to be classified as flame resistant. Westex, Inc., creators of Indura® and Indura® Ultra Soft®, have an excellent article here: http://www.westexinc.com/flash/ASTM1506.asp. 

Most flame resistant garments are labeled as compliant to ASTM 1506. There has been buzz in the industry that this will become a labeling requirement. As many garment manufacturers already label their garments with this information, it will not be an inconvenience.

This standard does not apply to rain wear.
