    Why Does IEC 61482 Matter?

    Electric arc accidents can cause severe injuries, including burns and electric shock. IEC 61482 ensures clothing is tested to withstand:

    • Thermal energy from arc flashes
    • Molten metal splatter from electric arcs
    • Heat-related injuries in electrical environments

    HSE managers rely on IEC 61482-compliant garments to:

    • Reduce arc flash-related injuries
    • Meet safety compliance standards
    • Protect workers in high-risk electrical tasks

    What Does IEC 61482 Cover?

    IEC 61482 evaluates garments for:

    TestHazardExample
    Arc Thermal Performance
    Value (ATPV)
    Thermal protection before
    2nd-degree burns
    Electrical maintenance

    environments

    Understanding Performance Levels

    • ATPV:Indicates the energy threshold before causing burns.
    • Box Test Classes:Resistance to liquid penetration

    What Makes a Garment Compliant?

    To meet IEC 61482, garments undergo tests for:

    • Arcresistance and thermal protection
    • Flame spread and molten metal behavior
    • Durability after washing and regular wear

    How to Choose IEC 61482-Compliant Clothing

    • Evaluate Arc Hazards: Assess workplace arc flash risks.
    • Look for Certifications: Choose garments tested for specific arc levels.
    • Ensure Layered Protection: Consider multi-layered garments for enhanced safety.
