  • Term
    Definition
  • Applies to rigid insulating covers for live working on a.c. installations, including those described in IEC 60743.
  • applicable to portable equipment, with or without matching connection points, for temporary earthing or earthing and short-circuiting of electrically isolated or de-energized a.c. and d.c. installations, distribution and transmission networks, whether they are overhead or underground or of low(...)
  • Describes the test method for determination of hydrolytic stability of moulded thermosets made of room temperature or oven-curing reaction resins when subjected to simultaneous influence of water and high temperature.
  • Applies to insulating hollow tubes made of synthetic materials and intended for tools and equipment for work on systems operating at voltages above 1 kV.
  • Applies to saddles, stick clamps and their accessories, used for live working. The products designed and manufactured according to this standard contribute to the safety of the users provided they are used by skilled persons, in accordance with safe methods of work and the instructions for use.
  • This standard is applicable to portable voltage detectors with or without a built-in power source to be used on electrical systems for voltages of 1 kV to 36 kV a.c., and frequencies from 15 Hz to 60 Hz. This part applies only to resistive voltage detectors used in contact with the part to be(...)
  • Applicable to hand-held two-pole voltage detectors with its accessories (crocodile clips and detachable leads) to be used in contact with parts of electrical systems: - for a.c. voltages not exceeding 1 000 V at nominal frequencies between 16 2/3 Hz and up to 500 Hz, and/or - for d.c. voltages(...)
  • This standard is applicable to voltage detecting systems that are single-pole and are capacitively-coupled to live parts. They are used to detect the presence or absence of operating voltage on a.c. electrical systems for voltages from 1 kV to 52 kV, and for frequencies from 16 2/3 Hz to 60(...)
  • Defines the requirements for instrumentation needed to detect leakage from reactor coolant systems of light water nuclear reactors. Methods of leak detection are described, and characteristics of different methods of detection and of differentiating between allowable and abnormal leakages are given.
  • Applies to instruments for measurement of A-frequency- weighted sound exposure resulting from steady, intermittent, fluctuating, irregular, or impulsive sound. Specifies acoustical and electrical performance requirements for personal sound exposure meters of one accuracy grade.
  • Relates to assemblies that are used to monitor clothing for radioactive contamination. Applies to monitoring that is performed after the clothing has been washed and prior to re-use to determine its acceptability for re-use.
  • Applicable to a portable or transportable photon spectrometry assembly using a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector to survey, in situ, generally at 1 m above ground level, areas in the environment for discrete radionuclides. This standard specifies for such an assembly the general(...)
  • Describes the physical requirements for the safe operation of the process analyser measuring system installed in an AH in order to ensure its protection against fire, explosion and health hazards. This standard extends beyond IEC 60079-16 to include houses with Zone 2 interiors and to apply to(...)
  • IEC 61300-3-47:2014(E) describes a procedure to measure the end face geometry of a spherically polished ferrule or connector. Within this standard the words “ferrule” and “connector” can be used interchangeably. 
  • Defines a data-busing technique that is optimized for the class of applications for which NIM modules are typically utilized. Will be of use to both designers and users of NIM equipment.
  • Provides the user with a means of verifying the performance of typical liquid-scintillation courting systems.
  • Specifies requirements for visual, acoustic and tactile methods of indicating safety-related information, at the human-machine interface and to exposed persons. It specifies a system of colours, safety signs, markings and other warnings, intended for use in the indication of hazardous(...)
  • General rules on marking for identification of machinery, for safe use related to mechanical and electrical hazards, and for the avoidance of hazards arising from incorrect connections.
  • Specifies safety-related requirements for actuators, operated by the hand or by other parts of the human body, at the human-machine interface. It gives general requirements for the standard direction of movement for actuators; the arrangement of an actuator in relation to other actuators; the(...)
  • Provides elements for product conformity assessment. Critical defects on tools, devices and equipment for live working are not acceptable. Major defects on tools, devices and equipment for live working are likely to result in failure or in a significant reduction of functionality, while minor(...)
