What is the shelf life of an arc flash suit?
This is a challenging topic to consider as many variables must be considered when determining when an arc flash suit needs to be replaced. Things like the age of a suit, frequency of use, laundering care, and the environment your suit is stored in can all play roles in how long it will last. Oberon recommends a pre and post inspection after every use of your arc flash suit. The diagram below lists out some common things to look for when doing your evaluation.
