FREIGHT CHARGES

UNIT PRICE _____________ COST ____________

Applicable Standard: NFPA 1970-2025, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural and Proximity

Firefighting, Work Apparel, SCBA, and PASS. This standard- consolidates previous PPE standards (including

NFPA 1971) into a single document and establishes mandatory particulate-blocking requirements for structural

firefighting hoods.

1. Intended Use

• Structural firefighting operations requiring head and neck protection under helmets

and around SCBA facepieces.

• Hood must provide thermal and particulate protection as an interface element of

the full protective ensemble.

2. Design Requirements

a. Physical Coverage

• Full coverage of the head, neck, and significant portions of shoulders/chest when

worn properly under helmet and around SCBA mask.

b. Material Specifications

• Constructed of flame-resistant textile composites capable of resisting thermal insult

and mechanical abrasion.

• Material layers include protective outer fibers and a particulate-blocking barrier

layer to stop harmful particulates.

c. Particulate Barrier

• Mandatory particulate-blocking hood for structural firefighting.

• Barrier must cover essentially the entire hood surface, except minimal allowable areas

near seams/ openings.

3. Performance Requirements

a. Thermal Protective Performance (TPP)

• Hood composite must meet or exceed minimum TPP values consistent with PPE

thermal protection performance testing.

b. Particulate Filtration Efficiency

• Must block at least 90% of particles between 0.1 um and 1.0 um passing through the

hood barrier media.

c. Total Heat Loss (THL)

• Hood must demonstrate a minimum total heat loss value to balance particulate

protection with breathability and prevent excessive heat stress.

d. Flame Resistance and Shrinkage

• Materials must exhibit flame resistance and limited thermal/acrylic shrinkage

after conditioning.

• Seams and barrier layers are subjected to thermal and wash + heat conditioning

before performance testing.

4. Mechanical and Durability Requirements

a. Seam Strength

• Hood seams must remain intact and maintain barrier effectiveness under mechanical

loads, temperatures, and laundering cycles.

b. Burst Strength

• Hood materials must withstand specified pressure loads without rupturing.

c. Wash and Heat Conditioning

• Prior to testing, hood materials and seams are preconditioned (wash cycles+

specified heat exposure ) to simulate service life.

5. Health, Safety, and Restricted Substances

a. Restricted Substances

• Materials should comply with restricted substance limits (e.g., PFAS restrictions) as

defined in NFPA 1970, allowing manufacturers to label hoods as "PFAS-free" when

applicable.

b. Contaminant Removal Efficiency

• Manufacturers will report decontamination effectiveness metrics based on

standardized cleaning tests (percent removal of organic/heavy metal contaminants).

6. Labeling & Certification

a. Certification

• Hoods must be tested and certified by an independent third-party certifier (e.g.,

UL Solutions or SEI) to confirm compliance with NFPA 1970.

b. Identification

• Permanent labels must include: Manufacturer identification, model number,

applicable standard edition, size designation, and care and laundering instructions.

7. Care, Maintenance & Service Life

• Follow NFPA 1850 (PPE care and maintenance standard) for formal inspection,

cleaning, and retirement criteria. Hood aging, barrier degradation, or compromised fit should

prompt removal from service.

• ALL SHIPPING AND HANDLING MUST BE INCLUDED IN COST
