Article 110.16- Arc-Flash Hazard Warning of the NEC
(Version 2014) stated:
" Electrical equipment, such as switchboards,
panelboards, industrial control panels, meter
socket enclosures and MCCs that are in other than
dwelling units and are likely to require
examination, adjustment, servicing, or
maintenance while energized shall be field marked
to warn qualified persons of potential electric arc
flash hazards. The marking shall be located so as
to be clearly visible to qualified persons before
examination, adjustment, servicing, or
maintenance of the equipment."
FPN No. 1: NFPA 70E-2012, Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace, provides guidance such as
determining severity of potential exposure,
planning safe work practices, arc flash labeling and
selecting personal protective equipment.
FPN No. 2: ANSI Z535.4-1998, Product Safety Signs
and Labels, provides guidelines for the design of
safety signs and labels for application to products.
The flash criteria are regularly updated as the
technology changes. The latest editions of the NEC
and NFPA 70E should be used in establishing
potential electric arc flash hazards and arc flash
marking. The required flash protection marking is
to be applied by the MCC end user for each
installation. It is similar to other NEC marking
requirements such as voltage, voltage hazard
labels, and circuits.
Flash protection markings, however, must be based
on application information and calculations from
the installation site. This information helps to
identify the presence of a potential flash hazard
and provide guidance in determining necessary
personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn by
installation and maintenance personnel.
You must establish field marking requirements
based upon:
• Level of onsite personnel safety training.
• Level of required clothing and required PPE.
• Consistency for the level of marking for various
equipment, for example: switchgears,
switchboards, MCCs and other panels.
• Available flash energy on each piece of equipment
as determined by available fault current and arc
flash duration possible based on the type and
degree of short circuit protection equipment.
