Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Clause 130.5(E) of NFPA 70E-2027 locates the arc flash boundary either by incident energy analysis or from the PPE category tables of clause 130.7(C)(15); clause 130.4(E) makes it independent of the shock protection boundaries, so it may be larger than the limited approach boundary, and clause 130.5(H) puts it on the equipment label.
