1.1 本指南提供了在家清洗阻燃或电弧防护衣物的建议。这些建议涉及家庭洗钱过程。家庭洗涤是一种有效的清洁过程，阻燃或电弧额定服装；遵循所有标签保养说明。 1.1.1 本指南不适用于阻燃或电弧防护服的工业洗涤。有关工业洗钱的更多信息，请遵循指南 F1449 或者联系您的服装供应商。 1.1.2 本指南不适用于阻燃或电弧防护服的干洗。 有关干洗的更多信息，请遵循标签说明或联系您的服装供应商或面料制造商。干洗是指由专业干洗店进行清洁。 1.2 美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）建议，让雇主在工作时清洗沾满危险化学品的衣服，或者，如果这些衣服是在家里洗的，则将其与家庭洗衣分开清洗。 1.3 重要的是，在洗涤过程中去除衣服上潜在的易燃污染物。 如果不清除易燃污染物，衣服的阻燃性可能会受到影响。有效清洁和适当维护阻燃或电弧防护服的防护特性应包括清洁、维修和更换。 1.3.1 为了减少员工穿着被易燃物质污染的衣服的可能性，最终用户应分析穿戴者可能接触的土壤条件，以及清洗程序的有效性。如果认为无效，应寻求有效的解决方案（干洗、工业洗衣、表面活性剂、一次性FR工作服等）。 ). 1.4 重要的是，用于洗涤阻燃服装的工艺和材料与阻燃材料兼容，以确保衣物的阻燃保护在洗涤过程中不会受损。 1.5 最终用户有责任确定其清洗方法是否适合其应用。（参见 附录X1 和 X1.1 .) 1.6 本指南不适用于专业防护服，如专业消防员转向装置和近距离消防员套装。 1.7 本指南还提供了对阻燃或电弧防护服性能有重要影响的检验标准的建议。 1.8 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.9 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本指南适用于最终用户的员工，如安全人员或计划管理员，他们选择实施家用耐洗阻燃或电弧防护衣物计划。 5.2 本指南描述了耐火或电弧防护服的家庭护理和维护中涉及的关键组件。决定在家中清洗阻燃或电弧防护服是整体危险分析的一部分。它应包括危险的性质、土壤和工作场所中存在的任何化学品。 可能存在需要在工作中或专业地清洗工作服的情况，因为佩戴者的工作暴露可能会污染家庭或废水。 5.3 本指南为最终用户提供了帮助，帮助他们遵循洗涤方法，清洁衣物，并在衣物的有效使用寿命内保持衣物的阻燃或额定电弧特性。该指南还提供了提高服装使用寿命、外观和功能的建议。 5.4 该指南还就何时停止使用阻燃或电弧防护服提供了建议。 5.5 该指南提供了正确的服装维修、修改和永久性退出服务的指导。

1.1 This guide provides recommendations for home laundering of clothing that is flame resistant or arc rated. These recommendations address the home laundering process. Home laundering is an effective cleaning process for flame resistant or arc rated garments; follow all label care instructions. 1.1.1 This guide does not apply to industrial laundering of flame resistant or arc rated clothing. For more information on industrial laundering, follow Guide F1449 or contact your garment supplier. 1.1.2 This guide does not apply to dry cleaning of flame resistant or arc rated clothing. For more information on dry cleaning, follow label instructions or contact your garment supplier or fabric manufacturer. Dry cleaning indicates cleaning by a professional dry cleaner. 1.2 The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends leaving clothing soiled with hazardous chemicals at work to be laundered by the employer or, if such clothing is washed at home, to launder separately from the family wash. 1.3 It is important that potentially flammable contaminants are removed from garments during the wash process. If flammable contaminants are not removed, the flame resistance of the garment may be compromised. Effective cleaning and proper maintenance of the protective characteristics of flame resistant or arc rated clothing should include consideration of cleaning, repair, and replacement. 1.3.1 To reduce the potential of employees wearing garments contaminated with flammable substances, the end user should analyze the soil conditions to which a wearer may be exposed, along with the effectiveness of the wash procedure. If it is deemed ineffective, effective solutions should be pursued (dry cleaning, industrial laundry, surfactants, disposable FR coveralls, etc.). 1.4 It is important that the processes and materials used to launder flame resistant garments are compatible with the FR materials to ensure that the FR protection of the garment is not compromised during the laundering process. 1.5 It is the responsibility of the end user to determine if their laundering method is the appropriate care and maintenance procedure for their application. (See Appendix X1 and X1.1 .) 1.6 This guide does not apply to specialized protective garments such as specialized firefighter turnout gear and proximity firefighter ensembles. 1.7 This guide also provides recommendations for inspection criteria that are significant to the performance of flame resistant or arc rated clothing. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This guide is intended for use by employees of the end user, such as safety personnel or program administrators, who have chosen to implement a home-laundered flame resistant or arc rated clothing program. 5.2 This guide describes the key components involved in the home care and maintenance of flame resistant or arc rated clothing. The decision to home launder flame resistant or arc rated clothing is part of an overall hazard analysis. It should include the nature of the hazard, the soils, and any chemicals present in the workplace. Conditions may exist that require work apparel to be cleaned at work or professionally due to the risk of contamination of the home or waste water caused by the wearer’s on-the-job exposure. 5.3 The guide provides the end user assistance to follow laundering methods that will clean the garment and maintain the flame resistant or arc rated characteristics of the clothing during its useful service life. The guide also provides suggestions for increasing the wear life, appearance, and function of the clothing. 5.4 The guide also provides suggestions as to when flame resistant or arc rated garments should be removed from service. 5.5 The guide provides direction on proper garment repair, modification, and permanent removal from service.
