HIGH VOLTAGE (HV) INSULATED GLOVES RE-CERTIFICATION
The purpose of this Pitstop is to remind dealer personnel about the importance of having the
High Voltage (HV) insulated gloves, used by technicians to service hybrid electric vehicles, recertified on a six month or yearly basis (see below). With the upcoming release of the Soul EV,
it becomes even more critical to ensure technician safety by checking the current certification
date stamped on each pair of HV insulated gloves and to send those gloves with out-of-date
certifications in for re-certification. For more information on HV insulated glove re-certification,
refer to TSB SST 028.
If the glove package has NOT been opened
(i.e. still sealed) – the gloves MUST be recertified when beyond one (1) year from the date
code stamped on the label.

If the glove package has been
opened – the gloves MUST be recertified once six months have passed
from the date stamped on the glove
and every six (6) months, thereafter.
