Is the arc flash study date required to be on the labels?
Q: If there is no date on arc flash labels, how does the site electrician ensure the label is within the 5-year review period or other review requirements as defined in NFPA 70E? (…especially since Electricians don’t typically carry the latest arc flash drawings (or report) with them.)
In a recent webinar, I suggested that one way of “future-proofing” an Electrical Safety Program is to omit the arc flash study date on the label. One of the webinar’s attendees asked the above question almost immediately.
