Ever wonder what “FM Approved” stands for? It is an abbreviation for Factory Mutual Approved.
FT4840FP-FM-NSF FM Approved Plastic Pallet
Fire Retardant Pallet: FT4840FP-FM-NSF

Fire Retardant Pallet: PS4840FP-ProFM
The Factory Mutual Approvals Division determines the safety and reliability of equipment, materials or services utilized in hazardous locations in the United States and elsewhere.

According to the FM Global Group’s website, FM Approval for a plastic pallet means it has met the classification of pallets and other material handling products as equivalent to wood.  
Once a plastic pallet manufacturer has received an FM Approval under Class Number 4996, it means that they have met the requirements that qualify the pallet as an FM Approved pallet.
  

Two New Fire Retardant Plastic Pallets

The Nelson Company has added two new and exciting fire retardant plastic pallets to a growing list of offerings:
FT4840FP-FM-NSF
