Foot Requirement Chart

NFPA 1991, 2000 Edition Boot Requirements

NFPA – National Fire Protection Association

To pass the applicable boot requirements for NFPA 1991,

2000 edition, boots are independently tested to verify

compliance. Boots must resist permeation for 1 hour or

more against chemicals in the NFPA 1991, 2000 edition

battery. The battery consists of 15 chemical liquids and 6

chemical gases. The boots must also pass a flammability

resistance test. Hazmax kneeboots have successfully passed

all of these tests
