Turnout Gear Certification

[xtreme 0]

I believe that this is a simple question that i just dont know the answer too. For the past hour i have been looking for turnout gear certifications on both the osha and nfpa websitesand have had no luck. My question is does anyone know the requirements for turnout gear and where to find these on the web. For example i am looking for how old turnout gear can be before it is retired and if it needs to be custome made for you or if it can be a hand me down. If this was already posted somewhere i do apologize. This is my first post after all lol. thank you for all your help.
