ASTM F1002-15 Standard Performance Specification for Protective Clothing and Materials for Employees Exposed to Certain Molten Substances and Related Thermal Hazards

The ASTM F1002-15 standard published by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM) describes the performance characteristics and test methods of protective clothing used by workers exposed to molten materials and thermal hazards. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM F1002-15 Standard performance specification for protective clothing and materials for workers exposed to certain molten substances and related thermal hazards.

ASTM F1002-15 Standard Performance Specification for Protective Clothing and Materials for Employees Exposed to Certain Molten Substances and Related Thermal Hazards

This standard defines the minimum design, performance and labeling criteria for protective clothing prepared for use in activities involving molten materials and related thermal hazards. Pure molten materials such as iron or aluminum are typically used in the molten splash test of protective materials and clothing listed in this standard. In practice, employees who use protective clothing for metal splash protection routinely work with alloys. Protective clothing under this specification may or may not perform similarly with alloys of various metals. The enterprise that designs protective clothing in this regard will decide whether the protective clothing is suitable for its own alloys.

Requirements for the materials used in the production of protective clothing according to the performance characteristics considered to be important for the protection of employees are included in this standard. In some cases, different performance levels are adjusted due to differences in expected performance characteristics for protective clothing.

In the standard, minimum design and performance characteristics are explained as additional requirements for other materials and components used in the production of protective clothing.

The ASTM F1002-15 standard can be applied to protective clothing materials or protective clothing, or both.

Within the framework of laboratory services of materials, our organization also provides performance testing services for protective clothing and materials for employees who have been exposed to ASTM F1002-15 certain molten substances and related thermal hazards.
