What is the rating for high voltage insulating gloves?
Class of Equipment Maximum Use Voltage (AC) Proof Tested (VDC)
------------------ ------------------------ ------------------
0 1,000 20,000
1 7,500 40,000

What are electrical gloves rated for?
Electrical safety gloves are categorized by the level of voltage protection they provide and whether or not they're resistant to ozone. Rubber is susceptible to the effects of ozone, which can cause cutting/cracking and compromise the integrity of the glove.Aug 11, 2021
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 electrical gloves?
A Type I glove is not ozone-resistant, while a Type II is ozone-resistant. Once the electrical safety gloves have been issued, OSHA requires that "protective equipment be maintained in a safe, reliable condition." This requires that gloves be inspected for any damage before each day's use.
How are insulating gloves rated?
According to the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.137 standard, rubber insulating gloves must be rated for the voltage to which a worker will be exposed (phase to ground or phase to phase) and marked to indicate their rating. ... All rubber insulating gloves are tested by the manufacturer at the specified proof test voltage.Mar 23, 2017
What is the maximum voltage for work with rubber gloves?
Class 2 rubber voltage gloves are part of electrical PPE equipment for a maximum use voltage of 17,000V AC/ 25,500V DC.
What is high voltage per OSHA?
OSHA does not have a consistent definition for high voltage—OSHA standard 1910.304(g)(9) for grounding fixed equipment refers to fixed equipment as anything higher than 1,000 volts, whereas other OSHA standards such as 1910.303(h)(5)(ii) refer to high voltage as being above 600 volts.Jul 16, 2019
What is considered low voltage by OSHA?
You point out in your letter that some consensus standards consider live parts operating between 50 and 60 volts, DC, to be non-hazardous under certain circumstances. However, OSHA considers all voltages of 50 volts or above to be hazardous.Sep 4, 2015
What maximum voltage can Class 0 electrical insulating rubber gloves can be used?
1000V
What is the voltage rating for Class 0 rubber gloves?
1,000 Volts
How many volts are tested for rubber gloves?

------------------ ------------------------ ------------------
1 7,500 10,000
2 17,000 20,000
3 26,500 30,000
4 36,000 40,000
How long are high voltage gloves good for?
Many high voltage gloves will last for 5-8 years depending on use. Please use ASTM F496 and the manufacturer's website for guidance.Nov 19, 2014
When should I replace my electric gloves?
This standard requires new gloves to be tested and put into service within 12 months of the initial test date. Once in use, the rubber voltage rated gloves must be retested every 6 months and, if they pass, the gloves are stamped with the new test date or expiration date and put back into service for another 6 months.Feb 24, 2020
How long do insulated gloves last?
Voltage rated rubber insulating gloves that have been previously issued, can be used safely for 6 months after the test date at which time the gloves will need to be sent back to an approved lab for dielectric testing.Jan 31, 2018
