Flame and Fire can be used interchangeably. The confusion occurs when looking at Resistant vs. Retardant. These terms can be misleading and If you are required to use one, but buy the other you could get burned.
Resistant is defined as a material that is inherently resistant to catching fire (self-extinguishing) and does not melt or drip when exposed directly to extreme heat.
Retardant is defined as a material that has been chemically treated to self-extinguish. There are many textiles that can be “treated”.
