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:

Test Hazard Example
Arc Thermal Performance
Value (ATPV)		 Thermal protection before
2nd-degree burns		 Electrical maintenance
Box Test Arc flash simulation High-voltage switchgear
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.
