It meets the most stringent safety standards, such as CGSB 155.20-2017, CSA Z96-22 Classe 1 level 2 and classe 1 level FR, ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 class 1 Type O, ASTM F1506-10a, NFPA 70E and CSA Z462-15 . It offers a thermal protection rating (TPP) of 7.3 cal/cm² and an arc thermal protection rating (ATPV) of 9 cal/cm². It is rated ARC 2 and FR, which means it is flame-retardant and reduces the risk of burns in the event of exposure to flame or arc.

About APTV and TPP values:
We have observed differences between the values given in the manufacturer's data sheets for APTV and TPP. These values may vary according to the different standards considered. These values are subject to change according to the evolution of tests established according to the reference year of the said standard. The values displayed on our website correspond to those indicated on the garments.

Pioneer's flame-retardant shirt is also designed for comfort and visibility. It features a round neckline in the same fabric, a chest pocket with hook-and-loop closure, and StarTech® flame-retardant retroreflective stripes that make you visible day and night.

Peculiarities of:
the advantages of flame-retardant garments are as follows:

1.   Increased protection: Flame-retardant garments offer increased protection against the risk of combustion or burns in high-risk work environments.

2.   Arc resistance: Flame-retardant garments are also arc-resistant, making them ideal for workers exposed to electrical hazards.

3.   Durability: Garments made from flame-retardant fabrics are designed to last a long time, even in tough working environments.

4.   With 50 mm (2 in.) wide silver reflective stripes (2 vertical stripes at front, 2 crossed X stripes at back, 1 horizontal stripe at waist and 1 stripe around forearms.

Fluorescent orange is highly visible during the day and in conditions with lots of artificial light. In most situations, it also offers high contrast with the background. Fluorescent orange is, however, less visible at night and in conditions of low natural or artificial light, such as dawn or dusk.

Silver-gray retroreflective strips are highly visible in natural or artificial low-light conditions, as they reflect light back to the source of the light beam (flashlight, car headlights, etc.) They therefore offer the greatest safety at dawn, dusk and night. However, they do not increase visibility during the day.

Application:
They are often worn by workers exposed to fire hazards, such as firefighters, construction workers and industrial workers. Where there is a risk of combustion in the workplace, flame-retardant clothing must be worn. Any flame and heat protective fabric must offer the degree of protection expected over the useful life of the garment. Clothing characteristics should be defined according to the employer's assessment of workplace risks.

Restriction:
Do not dry clean, bleach or use chlorine-based chemicals. Any garment that is punctured, torn, contaminated or contaminated with flammable materials should be properly repaired, cleaned or taken out of service.

Care and durability:
Do not soak. Do not overload the washer and rinse stubborn stains before washing. Wash in lukewarm water with similar colors and does not exceed (104^oF or 40^oC). Wash heavily soiled garments separately. Use a mild liquid detergent (PH of 10 or less).

Do not use detergents containing bleach or animal fat, or bleach-containing chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) or hydrogen peroxide in the wash cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as it renders garments flammable. Do not use fabric softeners, starch and/or fabric softener sheets. Garments can be ironed, tumble-dried, tunnel-dried or hung in a cool place. Cover retroreflective tape before ironing. Drying temperature should not exceed 149^oF or 65^oC. Use the "cotton" setting for drying. Do not over-dry. Do not use starch during drying.

What you need to know about flame-retardant clothing: 

About fire-retardant garments:
Flame-retardant garments are working clothes that can resist combustion and protect the wearer from flames, electric arcs or other sources of intense heat. They are often worn by people working in sectors such as the oil industry, welding, electricity or metallurgy. 

How do flame-retardant garments work?
Fire-retardant garments are made from special fabrics that have been chemically treated or are naturally fire-resistant, such as cotton, wool, leather or Nomex. These fabrics have the ability to ignite with difficulty, limit the spread of fire and extinguish quickly once the source of heat has been removed. They also form an insulating layer between the skin and the fire, reducing the risk of serious burns. 

What are the safety standards for flame-retardant clothing?
Flame-retardant garments must meet strict safety standards that measure their ability to resist heat, extinguish quickly and not melt or tear. These standards vary by country and industry, but some of the most common are:

- CGSB 155.20-2017, which governs flame and arc flash protective clothing for workers exposed to electrical hazards in Canada.

- CSA Z96-15, governing high-visibility clothing for workers exposed to traffic hazards in Canada.

- CSA Z462-15, governing electrical safety practices for Canadian workplaces.

- ISO 11612, which governs heat and flame protective clothing for workers exposed to thermal hazards worldwide. how to choose flame-retardant clothing. 

The choice of flame-retardant clothing depends on a number of factors, such as the type of risk to which you are exposed, the level of protection required, comfort, durability and cost. Here are a few tips for choosing flame-retardant clothing:

- Find out about the safety standards applicable to your industry and workplace, and check that flame-retardant clothing meets these standards.

-Consult the labels on flame-retardant garments, which indicate fabric composition, degree of thermal protection (TPP), arc thermal protection (ATPV) and risk class (ARC).- Choose flame-retardant garments that offer a good balance between protection and comfort, taking into account climate, mobility and breathability.- Choose flame-retardant garments that are neither too tight nor too loose, and that provide optimum body coverage.

- Opt for brightly colored flame-retardant clothing or clothing with reflective stripes, to enhance visibility and safety.

- Maintain flame-retardant garments according to the manufacturer's instructions, avoiding chemicals, bleaches or excessively high temperatures, which could alter their effectiveness.
