An updated and uniform set of definitions has been added to ensure consistency.
Certification, labeling, design, and performance requirements have been streamlined into tables.
Different footwear design and performance criteria have been separated to address the specific requirements for ensemble socks, full boots, and outer boots.
A new test for flame break open resistance has been added to address materials that can be compromised by prolonged exposure to flame and radiant heat sources.
The overall ensemble flash fire test has been updated to use a more consistent test platform based on an ASTM test method.
