(Specification)Standard Specification for Rubber Insulating Sleeves
Standard Specification for Rubber Insulating Sleeves
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers manufacturing and testing of rubber insulating sleeves for protection of workers from electrical shock.
1.2 Two types of sleeves are provided and are designated as Type I, nonresistant to ozone, and Type II, resistant to ozone.
1.3 Five classes of sleeves, differing in electrical characteristics, are provided and are designated as Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4.
1.4 Two styles of sleeves, differing in configuration, are provided and are designated as Style A, straight taper, and Style B, curved elbow.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. See ASTM SI 10.
1.6 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Sections 16-19, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific safety hazards statements are given in 18.2.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
