Why is Arc Flash Risk Assessment essential?

Phoventus can help you update your Arc Flash Risk Assessment and ensure compliance with codes and regulations as well as safeguarding personnel and the electrical installations.

In fact, several regulations, codes, and standards define requirements for Arc Flash safety. Above all, these include OSHA, NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, IEEE 1584-2018, and NESC.

Also, article 130.5 of NFPA 70E requires employers to perform an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis for electrical equipment. And, to update the study every five years.
