Live working - Telescopic sticks and telescopic measuring sticks

Covers telescopic sticks and telescopic measuring sticks to be used for live working on a.c. or d.c. electrical installations at 1 000 V and above for a.c. and 1 500 V and above for d.c. The telescopic sticks are designed to accept attachments that meet appropriate live working standards and, together with these attachments, may be used to perform mechanical work on live parts at a distance. Telescopic sticks are also designed to accept diagnostic devices that meet appropriate live working standards and are used to make the diagnostic devices reach parts of an installation to be tested. Telescopic measuring sticks, or tele-scopic sticks equipped with graduations, are used to measure distances to or between live parts. The tools (telescopic sticks and telescopic measuring sticks) covered by this standard are for use under dry conditions but could also be used under very humid conditions, using appropriate working procedures.

Arbeiten unter Spannung - Teleskopische Stangen und teleskopische Messstangen

Travaux sous tension - Perches télescopiques et perches de mesure téléscopiques

Est applicable aux perches télescopiques et aux perches de mesure télescopiques destinées à être utilisées pour les travaux sous tension sur des installations électriques en courant alternatif ou continu ayant une tension nominale égale ou supérieure à 1 000 V en alternatif et 1 500 V en continu. Les perches télescopiques sont conçues pour accepter des outils adaptables appropriés aux travaux sous tension et peuvent, avec ces outils, réaliser à distance des travaux mécaniques sur des pièces sous tension. Les perches télescopiques sont aussi conçues pour accepter des dispositifs de diagnostic appropriés aux travaux sous tension et sont utilisées pour permettre à ces dispositifs d'atteindre l'installation à vérifier. Les perches de mesure télescopiques ou les perches télescopiques munies de graduations sont utilisées pour mesurer des distances aux, ou entre, pièces sous tension. Les outils (perches télescopiques et perches de mesure télescopiques) couverts par la présente norme sont destinés à un usage à sec mais pourraient aussi être utilisés sous conditions très humides, en utilisant des méthodes de travail appropriées.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62193 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 78: Live
working.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
78/513/FDIS 78/523/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until 2010.
