The updated NFPA 1970 standard introduced new requirements for chemical safety, regulating hazardous substances such as PFAS, heavy metals and flame-retardant chemicals that may harm PPE wearers. Suppliers can choose between two compliance pathways—targeted Restricted Substances List (RSL) testing or OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
This session will explore both options, outlining key considerations and implementation strategies, along with the broader implications for PPE performance and regulatory compliance. Attendees will gain practical insights to make informed decisions and ensure safer protective equipment.
