1.1 本指南提供了耐火或电弧防护服的护理和维护建议。 1.2 这些建议涉及工业洗钱过程。工业洗涤是阻燃或电弧防护服的有效清洁过程；遵循所有标签保养说明。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。 1.2.1 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。干洗是指由专业干洗店进行清洁。 1.2.2 本指南不适用于阻燃或电弧防护服的家庭洗涤。有关家庭洗衣的更多信息，请遵循标签说明或联系您的服装供应商。 家庭清洗是指在家庭洗衣机中进行清洗。有关家庭洗钱的更多信息，请参阅指南 F2757 . 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，以及工业清洗程序的有效性。如果认为无效，应寻求有效的解决方案（干洗、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 本指南还确定了对阻燃或电弧防护服性能至关重要的检验标准。 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 本指南确定了纤维、织物和服装制造商以及加工商、加工商的化学品供应商和最终用户的责任。 5.2 本指南描述了工业洗衣计划中涉及的关键组件，用于耐火和耐电弧衣物的护理和维护。 5.3 本标准中的指南将提供处理器协助，以开发一种处理系统，在其有效使用寿命内保持阻燃或电弧防护服。 5.3.1 由于阻燃和耐电弧服装（包括新纤维、织物和洗涤设备和程序）的持续改进，在任何给定的时间点都很难为每种织物和脏污程度开发已发布的配方。 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 未经工业洗衣店供应商加工的阻燃或电弧防护服应符合家庭洗衣流程，并应遵守指南 F2757 . 5.5.1 当穿戴者选择在家中清洗其阻燃或电弧防护服时，洗衣店供应商对衣服的状况不承担责任。

1.1 This guide provides recommendations for the care and maintenance of clothing that is flame resistant or arc rated. 1.2 These recommendations address the industrial laundering process. Industrial laundering is an effective cleaning process for flame resistant or arc rated clothing; follow all label care instructions. 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. 1.2.1 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. Dry cleaning indicates cleaning by a professional dry cleaner. 1.2.2 This guide does not apply to home laundering of flame resistant or arc rated clothing. For more information on home laundering, follow label instructions or contact your garment supplier. Home laundering indicates laundering in a home laundering machine. For more information on home laundering, see Guide F2757 . 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 industrial wash procedure. If it is deemed ineffective, effective solutions should be pursued (dry cleaning, 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 identifies 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 identifies the responsibilities of the fiber, fabric, and clothing manufacturers, as well as the processor, the processor's chemical supplier, and the end user. 5.2 This guide describes the key components involved in an industrial laundry program for the care and maintenance of flame resistant and arc rated clothing. 5.3 The guidelines in this standard will provide a processor assistance to develop a processing system that maintains the flame resistant or arc rated clothing during its useful service life. 5.3.1 The development of published formulas for each fabric and level of soiling is difficult at any given point in time due to ongoing, continuous improvement of flame resistant and arc rated clothing, including new fibers, fabrics, and laundering equipment and procedures. 5.4 The guide also provides suggestions as to when flame resistant or arc rated garments should be removed from service. 5.5 Flame resistant or arc rated protective clothing not processed by an industrial laundry supplier are subject to a home laundry process and are subject to Guide F2757 . 5.5.1 When wearers choose to launder their flame resistant or arc rated protective clothing at home, the laundry supplier cannot be held responsible for the condition of the garments.
