In parallel with the development of technology, it has become increasingly important to produce modern textile products that protect the human body in dangerous environments within textile products. New textile structures are produced in order to ensure that the employees operating in the face of high fire and high temperatures do not suffer from these negative conditions and are protected. As the industrialization rate increases, especially in developing countries, the demand for protective garments increases with the establishment of safety, health and hygiene standards and the introduction of sanctions.

In short, protective clothing is a textile product that is used to prevent the risk of exposure to bad environmental conditions and hazardous situations, to protect employees from these risks or to reduce the effects of these risks. Protective clothing is produced, for example, to protect firefighters, safety personnel, medical personnel, heavy industry workers, automobile racers and the like from various hazards.

The woven properties of protective clothing vary according to the needs and expectations of the areas in which they are used.

Authorized laboratories carry out tests for classified flame splashes on protective clothing against heat and flame protection within the scope of flammability tests. Laboratories comply with the following standards during these tests:

• BS EN ISO 15025 Protective clothing - Protection against heat and flame - Limited flame spread test method
• TS EN ISO 15025 Protective clothing - Protection against heat and flame - Test method for limited flame splash

This standard describes a method for measuring the limited flame spatter properties of textile products or industrial products placed vertically in a single or multi-component fabric when exposed to a defined small flame. By single or multiple components is meant coated, sealed, sandwich, multilayer and the like.
