Proposed Changes To NFPA 70E Seek To Revise Arc Flash Labels
An article in the May/June issue of the NFPA Journal discusses the changes in arc flash labeling requirements that are included in NFPA 70E - 2009. The opening paragraph states:"Since arc flash labels were first required in 2002, there have been many differences throughout the industry between the wording and the choice of signal word and color. The 2009 edition of NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety in the Workplace, will require, for the first time, that one of two pieces of information be on the label: either the required level of personal protective equipment (PPE) to wear or the available incident energy. However, it leaves the color and signal word of the label and any other information the facility wants to put on the label up to the discretion of facility management."
This is currently the most read online article in the NFPA Journal. You can read the article here.
We are one of the largest suppliers of arc flash labeling equipment and supplies. We also offer the Vinyl Zapper, a device that quickly removes old labels without damaging te underlying surface. This allows old labels to be quickly and easily replaced.
