Make all tests on a scrap or in an inconspicuous area.
What is a Class "A" Fire Retardant? The American Society for the Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are two nationally recognized organizations, which have developed flamability tests, setting standards of flammability. On a scale of 0 – 200 (least to most), only those materials with a flame spread of under 25 qualify as a “Class A” Fire Retardants.

As soon as Inspecta-Shield is completely dry, it works! After application is completed, fill out and sign the application for certificate of flame resistance form enclosed with the product and return it to N.Y. Fire-Shield. Upon satisfactory review, your Certificate of Flame resistance will be issued.
How often does Inspecta-Shield need to be reapplied? Inspecta-Shield is extremely durable and will not wear off under normal use and normally will withstand numerous dry cleanings. However, there can be a slight loss of Inspecta-Shield in washing. Reapplication is recommended after washing to maintain flame retardancy.
