- Globe uses NOMEX® thread on NFPA 1971 and NFPA 1951 garments.
- All field repairs should use materials consistent with information
on the content label.
Example: Globe would not repair a PBI® garment with a NOMEX®
fabric.
- NFPA requires that ALL components, including letters, emblems,
etc. meet minimum flame and heat test requirements through third
party testing (excludes NFPA 1999 standard).
- All repairs/alterations should use the same stitch configurations.
- All stress areas should be reinforced, preferably using a bartack.
- Never stitch through a Moisture Barrier or Thermal Liner. In
fact, field alterations or repairs of
protective barriers should only be undertaken by trained personnel.
- An equal amount of replacement trim must be added to areas
that have been covered up by repairs or alterations.
- When a section of a garment has been disassembled, the sleeve
for example, it must be reassembled precisely as originally constructed
at the factory.
- Never perform any repair or alteration that will disturb the
original performance specifications or integrity of the garment.
