In industrial settings, electrical maintenance and repair work can expose workers to significant risks, especially when dealing with live or potentially energized equipment. One of the most effective ways to mitigate these risks is by using IEC 60947-2 certified Safety Lockout Kits. These kits are designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized activation of electrical equipment during maintenance, ensuring a safer working environment for all personnel involved. The IEC 60947-2 standard, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), plays a crucial role in setting the guidelines for low-voltage switchgear and control gear, and these certified lockout kits are aligned with the rigorous safety requirements outlined in this standard.

What Are IEC 60947-2 Certified Safety Lockout Kits? IEC 60947-2 certified Safety Lockout Kits are specialized tools and devices designed to lock out electrical switches, circuit breakers, and other electrical equipment during maintenance and repair work. The primary purpose of these kits is to ensure that workers are not exposed to electrical hazards caused by the unintentional activation of equipment while repairs are being made. The kits include various lockout devices, such as locks, tags, and other accessories that provide a physical barrier to prevent equipment from being turned on or operated until maintenance is complete and the lockout devices are removed.
