IEEE P1067/D9

P1067/D9 is a technical standard focused on the service use, care, maintenance, and testing of conductive clothing used on voltages up to 765 kV AC and 750 kV DC. It is relevant to power and energy applications where conductive garments are part of an electrical safety program. By addressing how these items are handled and verified in service, the document helps support safer operations, more consistent inspection practices, and better control of equipment condition.

P1067/D9 overview

This standard addresses the practical requirements for conductive clothing intended for high-voltage environments. P1067/D9 is centered on maintaining performance during service, including care procedures, routine maintenance, and testing methods that help confirm continued suitability for use. In an electrical utility or industrial context, such guidance can be important for controlling degradation, supporting worker protection practices, and keeping garment-related safety measures aligned with operating conditions up to the stated AC and DC voltage limits.

Typical use cases

P1067/D9 may be used by organizations that issue conductive clothing for work near energized transmission or substation equipment, especially where high-voltage exposure is part of normal maintenance activity. It is relevant to teams responsible for inspection, laundering, repair, storage, and periodic testing of garments used in power system work. The standard can also support procurement and acceptance decisions when comparing conductive clothing programs across utilities, contractors, and industrial electrical maintenance operations.

Why this standard matters

For conductive clothing systems, performance depends not only on design but also on condition over time. P1067/D9 helps create consistency in how clothing is cared for, tested, and returned to service, which can reduce uncertainty and help lower operational risk. It also supports clearer compliance expectations, since maintenance and inspection practices are often central to safety management and equipment control. For users of high-voltage protective apparel, that consistency can be as important as the original product specification.
