FM Approved Fabrics
ANSI/FM 4950 Approved
Independent, third-party certification is critical to safe product performance. Sixteen of our fabrics have been tested and rated to meet the ANSI/FM 4950 Standard. The FM Approvals mark is your assurance that the fabrics conform to the highest internationally accepted standards for quality, safety, and performance.

FM Approvals is the testing and certification arm of FM Global. It developed the first performance-based standard for "Welding Curtains, Blankets and Pads" - the FM 4950 Standard. The Standard rates fabrics based on severity of use. The rating system makes it easy for safety professionals to determine which of the three levels of fire protection - welding curtains, welding blankets or welding pads - is needed for a specific hot work operation.
