Insulating Shock Safety Mats.IS: 15652 is Indian Standard Specification for rubber insulating mats for electrical purposes. It deals with insulating mats made of elastomeric (that includes rubbers, latex and elastomeric compounds that may be natural or synthetic or a mixture or a combination of both) for use as floor covering for the protection of workers on ac and dc installations with the system voltages WS33KV HT up to BD 66kVHT. As standard defines.Specifically designed for use in front of high-voltage equipment such as switchboards, electrical safety matting is a special grade of rubber in mat form that has excellent insulating properties. Providing safety for operators and maintenance staff from electrical shock, it should be used in any area where the health and safety risk assessment has shown possible exposure to high-voltage shock.

Classification: Safety Mats for Electrical Applications are divided in to three main classes based on Voltage Ratings. Recommended division is as follows:VOLTAGE RATINGS
