In industrial and electrical settings, safety is a top priority. With the potential dangers associated with electrical systems, it is vital to ensure that workers can perform maintenance or repairs without fear of accidental injury. One crucial component that helps safeguard personnel during these operations is the IEC 60947-2 certified lockout hasp. These devices play a critical role in enforcing electrical safety procedures and complying with international standards.

What is an IEC 60947-2 Certified Lockout Hasp? An IEC 60947-2 certified lockout hasp is a safety device designed to lock out electrical equipment during maintenance, repair, or servicing. It prevents unauthorized or accidental operation of electrical systems by physically securing the equipment’s control mechanism (e.g., a circuit breaker or switch). These hasps are compliant with the IEC 60947-2 standard, which ensures they meet rigorous international safety criteria for electrical installations. Lockout hasps work in conjunction with locks, allowing workers to secure electrical systems by locking a circuit breaker or switch in the off position. The unique feature of these hasps is their ability to accept multiple locks, allowing each person involved in the maintenance process to lock the equipment, thus ensuring that no one can accidentally or unknowingly operate the equipment while others are working on it.
