Arc Flash Warning Label Template (PDF)

Free download · Label (4×6 inch / A6)

NFPA 70E and OSHA require arc flash warning labels on electrical equipment where personnel may be exposed to arc flash hazards. This template provides a professional label layout with fields for equipment ID, incident energy (cal/cm² or kJ/m²), arc flash boundary, PPE category (1-4), limited/restricted/prohibited approach boundaries, available fault current, clearing time, and working distance. Formatted to standard label sizes (4×6 inch and A6) for printing on durable adhesive-backed label stock. Populate the values using ECalPro's IEEE 1584-2018 arc flash calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information goes on an arc flash label?

Per NFPA 70E-2024, labels must include incident energy or PPE category, arc flash boundary, and equipment identification. Best practice also includes approach boundaries, fault current, and clearing time.

Is this label OSHA compliant?

Yes, when populated with correct study data. OSHA requires warning labels per 29 CFR 1910.335. The template follows NFPA 70E Article 130.5(H) label requirements.

How do I calculate the values for this label?

Use ECalPro's IEEE 1584-2018 arc flash calculator. Input your system voltage, fault current, and protective device clearing time to get incident energy, arc flash boundary, and PPE category — then transfer those values to the label.
