Infrared Windows: A Smarter Path to NFPA 70E Compliance

Setting new standards in electrical safety

Improve Electrical Safety and Support NFPA 70E Compliance with Infrared Windows

Safer Inspections. Reduced Risk. Greater Reliability.

Every electrical inspection carries risk when energized equipment must be opened for assessment. Infrared (IR) windows provide a safer alternative by enabling thermal inspections without removing panel covers or exposing personnel to live electrical components. This approach supports the risk-reduction principles outlined in NFPA 70E while helping maintenance teams perform inspections more efficiently.

Key Benefits of ViPIRS Infrared Windows

✅ Enhanced Personnel Safety
IR windows allow thermographers to inspect energized electrical equipment while maintaining a closed and guarded condition, reducing exposure to arc flash and shock hazards.

✅ Support for NFPA 70E Compliance
By minimizing the need to open energized panels during routine inspections, infrared windows help organisations align maintenance practices with NFPA 70E electrical safety objectives.

✅ Reduced PPE Requirements
When inspections can be performed without opening equipment, the need for high-level arc flash PPE may be reduced, improving comfort and productivity for inspection personnel.

✅ Faster, More Efficient Inspections
Permanent inspection ports eliminate the time required to remove and replace panel covers, reducing inspection duration and improving maintenance efficiency.

✅ Improved Reliability and Uptime
Routine thermal inspections can be conducted more frequently and safely, allowing maintenance teams to identify developing faults before they become failures or unplanned outages.

A Simple Step Towards a Safer Workplace

Infrared windows transform electrical inspections from a high-risk activity into a safer, repeatable process. By enabling closed-panel thermography, organisations can strengthen compliance efforts, improve worker safety, and gain greater confidence in the reliability of their critical electrical assets.
