70E Standard (Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces) in

2004. The revised version requires employees to wear flame resistant (FR) protective

clothing that meets the requirements of ASTM F1506 wherever there is possible

exposure to an electric arc flash. It requires employers to perform a flash hazard

analysis to determine the flash protection boundary distance. The standard is designed

to protect employees working inside these flash protection boundaries by requiring

protective clothing for corresponding Hazard/Risk Category that has an arc thermal

performance value (ATPV) of at least the value listed in the “Protective Clothing

Characteristics” section of the standard (see table above). The vast majority of major

companies in the U.S. have some employees who work on or near energized

electrical conductors or circuit parts. In addition, the Department of Energy has

required that federal and contractor employees comply with NFPA 70E and the

2002 National Electric Code (NEC) references the NFPA 70E standard. Finally,

OSHA considers the NFPA 70E standard a “recognized industry practice.”
