IEC 62193:2003 PDF (Not Available)

The IEC 62193:2003 standard establishes requirements for telescopic sticks and telescopic measuring sticks used in live working procedures on electrical installations. These sticks are specifically designed for use on AC or DC installations with voltages of 1,000 V or above for AC and 1,500 V or above for DC.

Telescopic sticks featured in this standard are capable of accepting attachments that meet relevant live working standards. These attachments, in conjunction with the sticks, enable workers to perform mechanical tasks on live parts while maintaining a safe distance. Additionally, the telescopic sticks can also accommodate diagnostic devices that meet appropriate standards, enabling workers to perform tests on different parts of the installation by extending the reach of the diagnostic tools.

Telescopic measuring sticks referred to in this standard include graduations, allowing workers to measure distances between or to live parts accurately. It is important to note that the tools covered in this standard are intended for use in dry conditions but can also be used in very humid environments, provided appropriate working procedures are followed.
