ARE PFAS IN YOUR TURNOUT GEAR?

TWO PROGRAMS, ONE GOAL: PFAS-FREE FIREFIGHTING GEAR.

Non-Destructive Testing  I  Simple Process  I  Results in 14 Days

All PFAS contain fluorine. By measuring total fluorine, Forever Analytical can determine whether any PFAS are present. If no fluorine is detected, PFAS are not present.

PROGRAM 1:
For Firefighters

Know your risk of PFAS contamination

  • Analysis for new and in-use gear 
  • Screens for total PFAS + brominated flame retardants (BFR) 
  • Results delivered in a clear, easy to understand report
  • Pricing based on type of samples

PROGRAM 2:
For Manufacturers 

For Internal Manufacturing + Vendor Compliance

  • Industry first FluoroZero™ Certification Program*
  • Determine intentional + unintentional presence of PFAS + BFRs
  • Certification supports regulatory compliance
  • Pricing based on customer requirements

* Turnout gear may vary by manufacturer, suppliers, formulation, lot, and production run. FluoroZero™ Certification is based on representative screening across components and finished gear. Ongoing monitoring is recommended to maintain certification status.

Independent test lab dedicated  entirely to the detection of total PFAS + contaminants.

Provide non-destructive screening of turnout + other firefighting gear, new + currently in use.

Deliver data + analysis that tells you exactly what you need to know—if PFAS are in your gear or not.

Trusted by firefighters across North America for our passion, results + transparency.

“The new gear we bought — sold to us on the premise it had no PFAS in it, PFAS-free — was recently independently tested and came back highly positive with PFAS components in the gear. We’re going to find just how far back and how widespread this issue has become.”
