IEC 60900 is an international standard that specifically addresses the requirements and testing methods for insulated hand tools used in electrical work. The IEC 60900 certification ensures that these tools meet stringent safety standards and are suitable for use in potentially hazardous electrical environments.
To obtain the IEC 60900 certification, hand tools must undergo rigorous testing to assess their insulation properties, mechanical strength, and resistance to high voltages. The certification covers a wide range of tools, including screwdrivers, pliers, cutters, and wrenches, among others.
By using IEC 60900-certified tools, professionals can have confidence in the safety and reliability of their equipment, knowing that these tools have been extensively tested and verified to protect against electric shock. This certification provides peace of mind to electricians, technicians, and other individuals working with electrical systems, ensuring that they can carry out their tasks safely and efficiently.
