In high-risk industries like Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and New Energy, personal safety is non-negotiable. Flame- and arc-resistant clothing plays a vital role in protecting workers from life-threatening hazards, especially electrical arc flashes. Among the key standards in arc-rated PPE is the Category 2 (CAT 2) arc rating — a common requirement across many job sites.
CAT 2 protective clothing refers to garments with an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) ranging from 8 to 25 cal/cm². This means the fabric can shield wearers from second-degree burns in the event of an arc flash within that energy range. Typical CAT 2 PPE includes coveralls, arc-rated pants and shirts, and multi-layered FR jackets, all designed to withstand moderate levels of thermal exposure.
