ASTM F1959-24B has just been published. This is a minor change from the recent F1959-24A correcting a reference. The ASTM F1959-23 (24 was a minor update) put the standard in alignment with a few slight improvements over IEC 61482-1-1. These are the standards used to generate arc ratings as required in NFPA 70E and OSHA 1910.269. ArcWear a division of Kinectrics has been the pioneer on creating ASTM F1959 (used for ASTM F1506 and ASTM F1891 arc ratings) with the ASTM F18 committee and many partners. Kinectrics arc testing division ArcWear constantly strives to improve testing and reliability and actively collaborates with other labs around the world to study and reduce variability. Contact ArcWear if you need consulting on arc flash testing or any electrical testing.
