"WARNING / ARC-RATED PPE REQUIRED / MIN ARC RATING: ___ cal/cm² / WITHIN ARC FLASH BOUNDARY" label, 4" × 2": white text on a red background, engraved so the wording lasts. This "ARC-RATED PPE REQUIRED" label gives workers the minimum rating before they open the gear.

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.
