ATPV - Arc Thermal Protective Value (Under NFPA 70E)

Measurement of how much heat can be exposed to a flame resistant garment before the onset of a second degree burn injury is expected to occur. It signifies the amount of protection the clothing will provide when an electrical arc comes in contact with the fabric. The ARC rating determines the protective characteristics of the fabric. The higher the ARC rating value, the greater the protection.
