)){kind=link}
1. NOMEX®-Standard-label
The standard NOMEX® label used by leading garment manufacturers is now subject to stricter licensing criteria. This label certifies that products are made from genuine NOMEX® fibres and selected fabrics that meet DuPont’s performance standards – now even higher than before.
Standard NOMEX® labels and hangtags are an immediate assurance for buyers that the performance of single and multiple fabric constructions meets or exceeds European or country specific norms for heat and flame protection.
2. NOMEX® NQP Label- "Performance tested garment labels" goes beyond the requirements of the NOMEX® standard-label
The new variant of the familiar NOMEX® red and black label certifies garments as “Performance Tested Garments”.
This label now certifies the garment is made from highest performance fabrics and has been performance tested on specialized equipment.
The performance tested garments label is exclusively licensed for use by a select group of European manufacturers participating in the NOMEX® Quality Partnership (NQP) identified by the NQP Seal of Quality on the new NOMEX® premium labels and hangtags.
NOMEX® Quality Partners share DuPont’s commitment to high product quality standards.
They have privileged access to DuPont’s fibre and fabric innovation, its technical knowledge and its test facilities.
The garments that result are setting new standards in the marketplace.
The NQP Seal which appears on the premium NOMEX® NQP labels is a clear signal to buyers : they can count on the NOMEX® Quality Partnership to deliver some of the safest, most advanced products in the marketplace.
It is exclusively licensed for use by a select group of European manufacturers participating in the NOMEX® Quality Partnership.
3. NOMEX® Performance Tested garments Hangtags
NOMEX® Performance Tested Garments Hangtags confirm that garments have been performance tested on specialized equipment.
The hangtag attached to your garment shows which tests have been carried out :
 |
The DuPont™ THERMO-MAN® life-size mannequin burn simulation test ensures the garment’s protective performance and integrity against heat & flame |
 |
The DuPont™ ARC-MAN® test and ATPV evaluation ensure the garment’s protective performance and integrity against the thermal hazards of an electric arc |
 |
The DuPont Comfort tests ensure the garment’s efficient sweat management and heat stress performance |
