Test Summary
The Arc Rating of this material is intended for use as part of a flame resistant garment or system for workers exposed to electric arcs. The test
result is applicable only to the test item as described; other fiber blends, weaves, finishing or dye may have different protection level. The test
articles are tested as received; no test is done to validate the fiber content or composition. The Arc Rating was calculated based on the data
obtained and analysed in accordance with the latest version of the applicable standards. The individual test sheets, graphs, photographs of
the samples and video of every test are provided in digital format to the Client for review.

The arc testing performed to the above mentioned Standard is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to conform to the
requirements of CAN-P-4E (ISO/IEC 17025:2005). Accreditation by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is a mark of competence and
