Topic: FIA Glove spec

Hello

I have a line on some racing gloves that say FIA Norme ISO 6940.  Is this acceptable for Lemons Tech?  I am not sure what 6940 means, or 8856 for that matter.

The rules state for clothing:

Full SFI 3.2/A- or FIA 8856-2000-certified  fire-retardant driving suits must be worn by all drivers at all times while inside the car. If using a single-layer SFI 3.2/A1 or 3.2/A3 suit, driver must also wear fire-retardant SFI- or FIA-cetified longjohns. Multilayer suits rated SFI 3.2/A5 or higher are highly recommended and may be worn without longjohns. Fire-retardant FIA- or SFI-rated racing gloves and shoes are required. And yeah, while they may very well be superior, military-spec or firefighter suits are not FIA- or SFI-rated, so we can't accept them.

ISO the manufacturing process certification.  FIA is the test they perform on the end result.

If it doesnt say SFI 3.2/A or FIA 8856-2000... it isn't legal

Re: FIA Glove spec

Are you guys talking suits or gloves?!  Because the FIA gloves mentioned would be perfectly legal...
