General Instructions
Orion, a company with more than 100 years of experience in rubber transformation and more than 60 years
of experience in the manufacturing of insulating gloves, and always committed to safety of electric sector
professionals, has a line of Personal (PPE) and Collective (CPE) Protection Equipment for high and low voltage,
according to NR10.
All products are tested in Orion’s Safety Testing Lab, according to the specifications and criteria established by
the national and international norms. The protection equipment is sent together with Opinions and Approval
Certificates, as regulated by the Ministry of Labor and Employment – MTE, thus providing greater safety and
reliability to users.

ADVANTAGES AND
BENEFITS
Technical assistance;
More than 60 years of experience in insulating
gloves production;
100% tested products;
Certified Company
Traceability (serial number);
Individual opinions delivered with each product.
This Insulation Device Catalogue’s purpose is to inform on the specifications of Orion’s entire line of Insulation
Devices, as well as to clarify common doubts such as care when using the product, storage, guaranty, testing
and retesting, among others, in order to contribute to indicate, acquire and provide the most adequate
Personal (PPEs) or Collective (CPEs) Protection Equipment.
CARE WHEN USING THE PRODUCT
Care and the adequate use of these products are essential for the user’s safety. The equipment should be
visually inspected whenever they are utilized. In the case of PPE, the inspection should include the internal
part and the external surface, a careful cleaning of the part being also recommended. The use of rings,
watches, jewels, sharp and/or cutting objects when using rubber insulating products is forbidden.
Chemical compounds, especially those based on petroleum, such as oil, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, inhibitors,
creams, pastes and ointments, may damage rubber insulating products. In the case of contact, the
contaminated area should be immediately washed with a cloth and neutral detergent. After being washed,
the area should be thoroughly rinsed with water and air-dried.
If any sign of physical damage or deterioration is found, the product’s use should be suspended and it should
be forwarded for retesting.
Insulation products are exclusively destined to electric use.

General Instructions
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep it in the original packaging when stored or during transportation;
Do not fold, wrinkle, compress or stretch it;
Keep it in a place free of ozone, chemicals, oils, solvents, harmful vapors, fumes and electric discharges;
Keep it away from the direct action and from irradiation of any heat source;
Keep it in a places at ambient temperature below 35° C.
It is recommended that the products are stored in the original packaging when they are not being utilized.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The period to replace insulation products should be less than 5 years;
The product’s durability will depend on factors involving the type of activity, use frequency, user care,
cleaning and storage.
Its durability is also determined by the product’s periodical and mandatory approval in electric essays,
according to Regulatory Norm - NR 10.
ELECTRIC AND PHYSICAL ESSAYS
Raising the safety level of the Personal (PPEs) and Collective (CPEs) Protection Equipment is a highly
important factor to preserve a worker’s physical integrity, especially when executing services with electricity,
due to the great risk of accidents. Thus, protection equipment requires a high degree of reliability and safety,
ORION S.A., being concerned with safety, tests all individual and collective protection equipment, by
following the norms established for each product.
Ge to know below the tests applied to the insulation products manufactured by ORION.

PERIODICITY OF ELECTRIC ESSAYS
The periodicity of dielectric essays is defined by norm NR 10, which establishes:
"Insulating equipment, tools and devices or equipment bearing insulating materials, and
destined to work at high voltage, should be submitted to the electric tests or periodical lab tests,
in compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications and the company’s procedures, and in
their absence, annually."
ORION recommends undertaking revalidation tests every 6 months for the products being used and every 12
months (at most) for stored products, according to the table below:

ORION’S gloves provide greater durability, since they are of TYPE II: Resistant to Ozone (03);
• Ozone is a gas naturally found in the atmosphere (as the active form of oxygen that
may be produced by an electric discharge, corona effect or ultraviolet rays). Its
presence leads to faster deterioration of the product.

ORION has as its differential a high control over production, and that’s why it has developed a customized
lower plate that is attached to the platform’s base, thus enabling a larger area of contact and greater efficiency
in electric tests. That differential is Orion’s unique and exclusive feature.
