1. What’s the difference between AR (Arc-Rated) and FR (Flame-Resistant) clothing?
A) There is no difference between AR and FR
B) In short, all FR is AR, but not all FR is AR
C) The fabric used to create FR clothing is subject to additional testing beyond what’s required for AR clothing
D) In short, all AR is FR, but not all FR is AR
2. All of the following statements are true in regard to the appropriate care and maintenance of FR apparel, EXCEPT:
A) Do not use any kind of bleach or peroxide
B) Turn FR/AR garments inside out to help color retention and preserve appearance
C) Do not dry clean FR garments
D) Rewash garments with lingering odor
3. What are engineered flame-resistant fabrics? They:
A) Are engineered to be flame-resistant at the either the molecular level, fiber level, fabric level, or a combination of two—or all three to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed
B) Are treated with flame-retardant chemicals that slow the rate at which the flame-resistant fabric burns
C) Keep people cool during thermal events to prevent second-and third-degree burns from the heat of the flames
D) Make individuals 100% fireproof, even during intense thermal events such as flash fires
4. ASTM F 1506 6.3 requires that FR garments must be labeled with all of the following information, EXCEPT:
A) Arc rating (ATPV) or arc rating (EBT)
B) Manufacturer’s name
C) Location of origin
D) Tracking identification code system

C) Oxygen
D) Confinement
E) All of the Above
8. Do standards permit you to layer non-FR undergarments beneath FR garments?
A) Yes
B) No
C) Maybe
9. Can I add the arc ratings of 2 FR garments?
A) Yes, two arc ratings can be added resulting in the sum total of both
B) No, you must get your layered system tested to know your combined arc rating
10. Which resource provides information about how to select, use and properly maintain FR clothing?
