07/23/2010 14:42	NFPA 70E glove testing requirements
Author: SafeTman10

I am looking to find out what is exactly is needed to do the testing for the electrical gloves. What if any equipment, estimate of cost for the equipment, what are the perameters for the test. I have reviewed the 70E requirements & only found general info, such as how ofter testing is needed, visual inspection before & after use, etc. I feel we should use an outside vendor for this but am required to get the details for consideration, thanks!

As per NFPA 70E, the golves must be tested by an outside source (3rd party)every 6 months you can not test them yourselves. I would recommend setting up a schedule with your current supplier for a rotation...
