Do logos used on flame resistant clothing need to be flame resistant?
To add further to this discussion concerning logos being attached to flame resistant clothing.
Companies may in fact have good reasons to label their clothing and that’s within their right. However, some of the labels may in fact have substances or materials that may have flammable features which may ignite when faced with ignition sources.
The introduction of non-flame resistant materials will increase the risk of ignition if presented in certain conditions.
If the risk of exposure is low then it should be perfectly fine to add logos however a good rule of thumb used by many manufacturers is to limit the size of the logo to the size of a credit card. It is also a good idea to not have too many of these logos on the garment.
