Helmet | Care Information

ProGARM 2696 arc flash helmet & visor must be carefully cleaned to ensure arc flash protection levels are maintained.

• Do not bleach, boil or use soap based products – clean polo shirts using detergents only
• Dirty clothing may lead to reduction in arc flash protection
• Company will not accept liability for garments where care labels have been ignored, neglected, defaced or removed
• Always store arc flash clothing in clean dry conditions
• Do not store in places subject to direct strong sunlight

Please note that Arc Flash helmets should be disposed of after their expiry date. The expiry date is stamped on the helmet and it applies to all its elements (shell, visor, harness, strap etc).

Arc Flash helmets have an expiry date because exposure to UV radiation, temperature, humidity etc will degrade the integrity and protection that the helmet provides over time. The life of the helmet is determined by prescribed testing from the Notified Body and following that testing the item is then issued with a conformity assessment and certificate.

IEC 61482 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST THE THERMAL HAZARDS OF AN ELECTRIC ARC

Arc flash clothing and garments in a layered combination deliver workwear protection against hazards according to IEC 61482 – PPE protects the worker against electric arc flash dangers. According to IEC 61482-1-1:2009 (encompassing NFPA 70E 2015) the 4 arc risk categories are numbered according to the severity threat and determine the clothing protection level required to protect against a minimum level of incident energy measured in calories / cm² – this is the ‘Open Arc’ test method and measures clothing protection level according to the Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV).

NFPA 70E outlines the requirements for safe work practices to protect personnel by reducing exposure to workplace electrical hazards.

The ‘Box Arc’ tests clothing materials and fabric according to a pass/fail test by exposure to electric arc produced by 4kA (Class 1) and 7kA (Class 2) short circuits – this is IEC 61482-1-2:2007.
