Live working - Electrical insulating gloves
Scope:
This International Standard is applicable to electrical insulating gloves and mitts that provide
protection of the worker against electric shock.
Unless otherwise stated, the use of the term “glove” includes both gloves and mitts.
This standard also covers electrical insulating gloves with additional integrated mechanical
protection referred to in this document as “composite gloves”.
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.
NOTE Insulating gloves are normally to be used in conjunction with leather protector gloves to provide
mechanical protection. Composite insulating gloves are normally used without over-gloves.
