NATO Supply Class 4230 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 42, which encompasses Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 4230 focuses on Decontaminating and Impregnating Equipment. This class includes various types of equipment and systems that are used for decontamination and impregnation purposes in the context of firefighting, rescue operations, safety measures, and environmental protection.

Decontaminating equipment refers to devices and systems designed to remove or neutralize hazardous substances, such as chemicals, toxins, or radioactive materials, from surfaces, equipment, or personnel. These may include decontamination showers, wash-down systems, decontamination kits, or specialized cleaning agents.

Impregnating equipment, on the other hand, involves the application of protective coatings or treatments to enhance the resistance of materials or equipment against various hazards. This can include impregnation systems for fabrics, protective coatings for equipment, or treatments to enhance the durability and performance of safety gear.

NATO Supply Class 4230 plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of firefighting, rescue, and safety operations, as well as environmental protection efforts. It encompasses a wide range of equipment and materials that are essential for decontamination and impregnation purposes in these fields.
