COBAswitch Insulation Matting (BS921:1976)

The COBAswitch BS 921 Insulation Mat provides proven operator protection in electrical environments where safety, compliance, and durability are critical. Manufactured from high-grade natural rubber with a fine fluted finish, it combines slip resistance with excellent electrical insulation properties.

BS 921:1976 - Specification for Rubber Matting for Electrical Purposes (Switchboard Matting) - is the traditional British Standard used across UK industries for protecting operatives working on or near live switchgear. Testing for this product was carried out by ERA Technology Ltd (Cobham Technical Services), confirming compliance with dielectric and mechanical performance criteria defined in the standard. While newer international standards such as BS EN 61111 have since been introduced, BS 921-rated matting remains widely accepted in established facilities and retrofit projects throughout the UK, offering trusted protection and consistent quality.
