Quality Inspection
The quality inspection includes identification of holes, streaks, color issues and weight consistency.
Independent 3rd Party Testing
In accordance with ASTM F1506, each production run (lot) of FRMC™ fabrics is vertical flame tested by an independent 3rd party laboratory.
Results Tracking & Transparency
