Overview

• The GARIOX flame resistant shirt is a long-sleeve work shirt built for environments exposed to flash fire and arc flash hazards. The fabric is 88% cotton and 12% nylon at 210 grams per square metre, woven from fine quality yarn treated with a permanent flame retardant finish — the flame resistance is part of the fabric treatment rather than a surface layer that washes away. Its arc thermal performance value (ATPV) is 8.8 cal/cm² measured to ASTM F1959, placing it in Category 2 (CAT 2) of the personal protective equipment categories in NFPA 70E. The shirt also carries NFPA 2112 certification for flash fire protection, EN 11612:2015 with the codes A1 A2 B1 C1 F1, and EN 11611:2015 Class 1 for welding and allied processes. The detailing is practical: two chest pockets with flaps and button closures, a front button closure, adjustable sleeve cuffs, back pleats for freedom of movement, and bar tack reinforcement at all stress points, in an ergonomic fit. The colour is beige, sizes run from S to 4XL, and the country of manufacture is India. Available through Al-Najma Al-Wataniyah with guaranteed quality and fast delivery across Riyadh, Dammam, and all KSA regions.

Documentation & Standards

• The shirt combines two certification systems covering two different hazards. On one side, NFPA 2112, the American standard for protective clothing against flash fire — the sudden flame that spreads in refinery and petroleum facility atmospheres. On the other, an ATPV of 8.8 cal/cm² measured to ASTM F1959, the measure of arc flash protection, which translates into Category 2 (CAT 2) in the PPE category table of NFPA 70E, a category requiring a minimum of 8 cal/cm². Two European certifications are added: EN 11612:2015 for protection against heat and flame with the codes A1 and A2 (surface and edge flame spread), B1 (convective heat), C1 (radiant heat) and F1 (contact heat); and EN 11611:2015 Class 1 for welding and allied processes. Product documentation and conformity certificates can be provided on request to support project files.
• Additional reference standards for the Saudi market:
• NFPA 2112 (flash fire protective clothing) · NFPA 70E (electrical safety in the workplace and PPE categories)
• ASTM F1959 (test method for the arc thermal performance value) · ASTM F1506 (requirements for flame resistant clothing in electrical work)
• EN ISO 11612:2015 (protection against heat and flame) · EN ISO 11611:2015 (welding clothing)
• EN 1149-5 (electrostatic dissipative properties) · Regulation (EU) 2016/425 for Category III

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does Category CAT 2 mean?

• It is the second category in the PPE category table of NFPA 70E, requiring clothing with a protection value of at least 8 cal/cm². This shirt is rated 8.8 cal/cm², meeting the category requirement. It is worn as part of a complete ensemble of the same category according to the risk assessment.

Q2: What is the difference between NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E?

• NFPA 2112 is the standard for protective clothing against flash fire — the sudden flame in vapour and gas atmospheres. NFPA 70E is the electrical safety standard that defines PPE categories according to the expected arc flash energy. The shirt serves both hazards.

Q3: Does the flame resistance wash out?

• The treatment is permanent and designed to last through normal use. To preserve its performance, wash the shirt per the manufacturer instructions: no chlorine bleach and no fabric softener, as these leave residues that can reduce protective performance.

Q4: What should be worn underneath?

• Underclothing in cotton or flame resistant fibres is recommended, avoiding synthetics such as polyester that can melt under heat. Protection is measured across the whole ensemble, not the shirt alone.

Q5: Is delivery available to Riyadh, Dammam, and all KSA regions?

• Yes, supply is available across all KSA regions with bulk quantities available for B2B projects and equipping full work crews.
