Mexico Standards for Arc Flash and LOTO
Mexico Standards for Arc Flash and LOTO
(OP)
Does Mexico require an AF study? If yes, please provide the exact standard that legally states the requirement.
Does Mexico require LOTO? If yes, please provide the exact standard that legally states the requirement.
I'm not sure if Mexico follows NFPA 70E and NEC. I've come across NOM and Codigo de Red but I'm not sure if those will answer my questions above.

1910.269 App E - Protection From Flames and Electric Arcs
The actual legal requirement is to protect the employees.
Arc flash studies are one way to meet the requirement.
You can also de-energize the equipment to remove the hazard.
You might want to research Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare - health and welfare regulations.
My Spanish is non existent, so I won't be of any help digging through Mexican government websites.
Still on the table is a requirement in the electric code to use equipment that has an appropriate Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) for the available fault current. See the attachment, and search SCCR.
