02Choosing
Six Choices That Set Your FR Build, From Standard to Wash Routine
- 01
Standard
- NFPA 2112 for flash fire; ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E for arc flash; or both on one garment
- EN ISO 11612 and IEC 61482-2 for EU sites
- Sets which mill reports the fabric carries and what the label says
- 02
Arc rating
The FR fabrics offered carry arc ratings of 8–12 cal/cm², the value printed on the mill report; heavier fabrics or your specified fabric on request. The number from your EHS team goes on the label and into the document pack.
- 03
Fabric family
- FR-treated cotton and cotton/nylon: heavier, cotton feel
- Modacrylic/lyocell and aramid blends: lighter, for hot climates · compare fabrics
- 04
Garment
- Shirt and pants: layering, top and bottom sized separately
- Coverall or bib overall: one-piece cover
- Knit henley: base layer
- 05
Hi-vis or not
FR hi-vis uses FR fabric in fluorescent colour and reflective tape on an FR substrate, built to ANSI/ISEA 107 as well.
- 06
Wash routine
- Home or industrial laundry
- Industrial laundry adds the industrial-wash test on the logo and shapes the logo method
Each choice is confirmed before quoting and written into the style's build spec sheet.

An FR shirt, pant or coverall is a dozen or more materials besides the main fabric. Each one is FR, and each one is a line on that style's trim list.
Sewing thread
Meta-aramid on every seam, buttonhole, bartack, hem and pocket.
FR · report on file
Snaps and buttons
Metal snaps on fronts and flaps; buttons listed with their supplier's FR report or declaration.

05FR trim list
One Signed FR Trim List per Style, Test Report Behind Every Line
The FR BOM sits inside the style's build spec sheet. The whole factory builds that garment from it.
Drafted
By your account manager with the pattern room lead, down to the bartack thread and the pocket bag.
Checked
By the QC manager, every line against its FR test report or supplier declaration, before sampling. No report, no line. A part not yet held in FR is sourced and its report added first; you're told if the sample date moves.
Signed
By you, with the sample. From then on, the approved sample and the signed BOM are the reference for every check.
FR trim listStyle: FR snap-front shirtVersion 1
Each line also records the supplier, item code and colour.

SignedYou, with the sample
On the floor
Purchasing orders FR trims only from the signed list. Cutting, sewing and decoration draw only from the FR store.
When something changes
A new logo, zipper, label or thread supplier, or a supplier's own item-code change, opens a new version. Same check, you sign, the old version stays on file.
Re-orders
Built from the signed BOM on file: same components, same suppliers.
You receive
The signed BOM with every report or declaration attached. Distributors pass it on to their customers.
Polyester thread stays on the standard workwear lines. Every FR seam is sewn in meta-aramid.
06Logos on FR
Logos on FR Garments: FR Embroidery Thread, FR Transfer Film, FR Patches
Logos and employee names go on in the same factory, on the 120 embroidery heads and 8 heat presses used across every uniform program, with FR materials.
Inherent FR embroidery thread
FR backing, or no backing where fabric and design allow. Polyester thread and standard backing are kept off FR orders.
FR transfer film
Multi-colour logos, fine detail, back logos. Temperature, dwell and pressure set on the first piece for each style and FR fabric, because treated cotton, cotton/nylon and aramid blends take heat differently.
FR twill patches
Edged with aramid thread, sewn on with meta-aramid.
No screen printing on FR builds
Logos that would be printed on a standard garment are made as FR transfer or embroidery.
Sizes
Chest embroidery up to 4 in / 10 cm wide. Back logos as FR transfer or patch up to 12 × 4 in / 30 × 10 cm; no full-back transfers. On FR hi-vis the logo sits on background, never on tape: area check.
Set-up recorded
Digitizing file, backing, stitch density, thread colours and press settings kept with your program. Each logo's thread, film or patch is a line on the trim list.
First piece and wash test
First piece off every machine and press checked against the sample. Industrially laundered programs: ISO 15797 50-cycle test before bulk release. Method and pass criteria

08Line clearance
FR Line Clearance: Non-FR Thread Off the Line Before Every Run
Sewing lines and embroidery machines also make standard workwear, so a fixed clearance runs every time an FR order starts on a line or a machine.
Line-clearance check · FR order
- Non-FR thread cones off every machine on the line
- Overlockers, bartack and buttonhole machines included
- Bobbins emptied and refilled with meta-aramid
- Non-FR trims and labels off the line
- Label station holds FR labels only
- Embroidery needles re-threaded with inherent FR thread
- Standard backing removed from the station
- Signed by line QC before the first FR panel is sewn
The signed check is kept with your order and goes into your document pack.
The FR store
Separate and tagged. Nothing enters without the BOM check, and FR orders draw only from it.
First piece
From each line and each embroidery machine, checked against the sample and the BOM: seam thread, zipper, hook-and-loop, snaps, labels, logo material. The run continues after line QC signs.
During the run
Every inline check includes a BOM match. Cones and trims arrive from the FR store with their lot tags.
A non-FR part found
The piece is held and remade from a new cut panel, never unpicked and re-sewn. The QC manager sets how far back the check goes, and every piece since is inspected. If your ship date moves, your account manager tells you within 24 hours.
The lot code on the label leads back to the fabric lot, the trim lots and this check.
