Class 0 matting SM570-00 is a high quality fine ribbed rubber insulating matting which is fully certified to meet IEC61111 standards.

The IEC61111 Class 0 matting is fully certified and tested to 10kV with a recommended safety working voltage of 1kV.

Additionally the insulating matting has a fine ribbed, anti-slip surface pattern on one side and a cloth impression finish on the reverse side ensuring safe electrical working conditions for users.

SM570-00 insulating matting is available in cut lengths on request with a thickness of 3mm and widths of 0.91m, 1m and 1.2m.

Class 0 matting in accordance with IEC61111 can also be provided in Grey (SM571-00), Grey/Black (SM572-00) or Red (SM573-01) each cut to length on request.


Features of IEC61111 Class 0 Matting

Our range of Class 0 insulating matting does not contain any recycled rubber proving the highest levels of compliant electrical safety and protection when working around electrical switchgear, control panels and substations. The electrical matting will safely dissipate current leakage reducing the electrocution shock effect of workers standing on the mat.

International Standard IEC61111:2009

The International Standard IEC6111:2009 outlines the requirements for rubber insulating matting for electrical purposes and specifies the construction materials, thickness, width and the testing conditions and results expected to meet the standard.

IEC 61111:2009 is applicable to electrical insulating matting made of elastomer for use as a floor covering for the electrical protection of workers on electrical installations. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1992, and its Amendment 1 (2002). This edition constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following significant technical changes with regard to the previous edition:

  • general review of the requirements and test provisions;
  • modification of the test procedure for slip resistance;
  • preparation of the elements of evaluation of defects, and general application of IEC 61318 Ed.3;
