N5A is OSHA
N6A is NFPA
the N6A has an added impact dome inside the helmet to meet NFPA Req.
Check your state laws and department policies on FF PPE, to make sure you get the right one.

Your are correct.. Differnt regs and rules.. how ever if you order a Sam Houston with Bourks eye shields your helment wont have a NFPA sticker.. only if you order with a face shield.. you make it NFPA complaint by adding your goggles

the sam houston is nfpa complinate where as the new yorker is not. this is because of the amount of collapse space there is between the outter helmet and the inside impact dome.
