The JIC, which is no longer in existence, had a standard EGP-1-1967 which stated the panel door had to be closed and latched before turning on disconnect. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a copy of said standard? Any history on why this is no longer a standard? If the NFPA and OSHA require electricians to wear protective gear to open said panels because of Arc Flash concerns, why would they want to be able to turn the disconnect on without the door being latched.
