Insulating Matting FAQs
What class of insulating matting do I need?
For Class 0, the maximum working voltage is 1 kV. This is ideal for:
- LV panels
- Workshops
- Electrical maintenance areas
If unsure, our sales engineers can advise on compliance and correct class selection.
What’s the difference between Class 0, 2, and 4?
The classes indicate voltage rating, thickness, and protection level:
- Class 0 → 3 mm, up to 1 kV (LV environments)
- Class 2 → 4 mm, up to 17 kV (MV environments)
- Class 4 → 5 mm, up to 36 kV (HV environments)
Class 0 is thinner, suitable for low voltage areas, but fully tested for operator safety.
Can Class 0 insulating mats be used outdoors?
Yes — Class 0 mats are made of EPDM rubber which is:
- Moisture and humidity resistant
- UV and ozone resistant
- Durable in low temperatures
Best suited for outdoor LV panels, switchboards, and workshops.
Do Class 0 mats comply with BS EN 61111?
Absolutely. Each mat is fully tested to BS EN 61111:2009 including:
- Dielectric tests
- Proof voltage tests
- Thickness verification
- Batch marking and identification
Ensuring complete operator safety in LV environments.
