WARNING / ARC-RATED PPE REQUIRED / MIN ARC RATING: ___ CAL/CM² / WITHIN ARC FLASH BOUNDARY Engraved Label – 4" × 2" White on Black

A 4" × 2" label engraved "WARNING / ARC-RATED PPE REQUIRED / MIN ARC RATING: ___ cal/cm² / WITHIN ARC FLASH BOUNDARY" in white text on a black background. A "MIN ARC RATING" label puts the protective gear requirement right on the equipment.

For use on the front of switchgear, panelboards and MCCs to post the arc-rated gear and minimum rating for that equipment.

This label warns that anyone inside the marked boundary must wear arc-rated protective gear, and it leaves a blank for the minimum arc rating. It tells a worker what to put on before going closer.

Where it's used: Switchgear, panelboards, motor control centers and disconnects, usually on the front door or cover facing the person approaching.

• Wording: "WARNING / ARC-RATED PPE REQUIRED / MIN ARC RATING: ___ cal/cm² / WITHIN ARC FLASH BOUNDARY" (4 lines, bold lettering)
• Size: 4" × 2" (102 × 51 mm), the most popular size for equipment, panel and door labels.
• Color: White text on a black background. White on black is the classic high-contrast look for general identification and suits dark enclosures and panels.
• Mounting: Pre-drilled holes in the corners for screws or rivets, for a permanent fix on panels, doors and equipment.
• Material: 1/16" (1.6 mm) two-ply engraving plastic with a matte finish. The wording is engraved through the top color to the contrasting core, so it can't rub off like printed ink.
• Corners: Square-cut corners and clean edges.

Fill the blank with the rating from your own arc flash study before ordering, so the label matches the equipment. Usually ordered by electrical contractors and plant electrical safety teams. Also called: arc rated PPE label, arc flash PPE label, minimum arc rating label.
