DuraLabel Supplies - Arc Flash Labels
It has only been fairly recently that arc flash has been recognized as a serious hazard. Both the NEC and NFPA codes require labeling of any device that has a potential for creating an arc flash. Although a specific label design is not specified, the label must have sufficient information to warn anyone in the area about the potential hazard.
The DuraLabel has a variety of supplies available for making arc flash labels.
The most popular DuraLabel supply for arc flash labels are the die-cut labels. These provide a preprinted header for both WARNING and DANGER labels, with the appropriate header background color. They are divided into four sections that organize the printed information making it easier to read. The DuraLabel comes with arc flash label database software for printing die-cut labels and storing information about your arc flash labels.
Die-cut labels also offer the advantage of greater durability. Because labels typically start to peel up from the corners, the rounded corners on die-cut labels prevent the corners from curling up resulting in longer label life.
Another option is to use two color DuraLabel continuous vinyl tape. Two color vinyl tapes are available as white with either a red or an orange stripe across the top. The signal word for the header is printed in the colored stripe and the text of the label is printed in the white portion of the label.
Solid color tapes may also be used to create arc flash labels. Solid color tapes can also be used to create arc flash warning signs. For example, the DuraLabel can make a 24" x 36" sign that has an eight inch orange header with the word 'WARNING" in six inch high bold text printed in the header.
