BS EN 60832-2:2010 PDF Download

The BS EN 60832-2:2010 standard provides the necessary requirements for attachable devices that can be connected to and removed from insulating sticks used for live working on AC electrical installations. This standard aims to ensure the safety of users when these devices are used correctly by skilled individuals following safe work practices and the provided instructions.

This standard is an update to the original IEC 60832 published in 1988. The updated BS EN 60832-2 separates the requirements and testing procedures for insulating sticks from those of attachable universal devices. It includes various changes and improvements such as an updated list of devices, clarification on the applicability of the standard to attachment systems other than splined end-fittings, and the introduction of conformity assessment for products that have completed the production phase according to IEC 61318:2007 (Edition 3). This assessment focuses on the classification of defects and the introduction of alternative testing methods for production follow-up.
