Resumen (inglés):
IEC 60855-1:2009 is applicable to insulating foam-filled tubes and solid rods, of a circular cross-section, made of synthetic materials and intended to be used for the manufacture and construction of tools and equipment for carrying out live work on electrical systems operating at voltages above 1 kV. Tubes and rods of cross-section other than circular are not covered by this part of IEC 60855. This first edition of IEC 60855-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60855 published in 1985; and constitutes a technical revision. Technical committee 78 is considering the preparation of IEC 60855-2, which would cover tubes and rods of cross-section other than circular.
