ASTM F1825 outlines the specifications for insulated hand tools used on or near live electrical conductors and equipment. It includes requirements for design, materials, and dielectric testing to ensure protection against electric shock.
This standard specifies the requirements for insulated hand tools designed for use on or near energized electrical conductors and equipment. It aims to ensure these tools provide adequate electrical insulation to protect workers from electric shock.
The standard covers design, construction, and testing of insulated hand tools, including requirements for the insulating material, handle design, and dielectric strength. It typically requires tools to be tested at a specified voltage to ensure their insulating capabilities. ASTM F1825 is vital for the production of safe and reliable insulated hand tools, a critical component of electrical safety programs.
