Environment and chemical resistant arc flash hazard warning labels per NEC® Section 110.16 requirements are provided for each equipment evaluated in the Arc Flash Hazard Analysis. The labels identify appropriate PPE category and class, limited, restricted and prohibited approach distances, minimum arc rating, flash protection boundary distance and shock hazard when a cover is removed.
Don’t get caught with generic arc flash warning labels!
