CENELEC - EN IEC 60895

Live working - Conductive clothing

active, Most Current
Organization: CENELEC
Publication Date: 1 June 2020
Status: active
Page Count: 74
ICS Code (Electrical equipment for working in special conditions in general): 29.260.01
ICS Code (Power transmission and distribution lines): 29.240.20
ICS Code (Protection against electric shock. Live working): 13.260
scope:

This document is applicable to conductive clothing, worn during live working (especially barehand working) on AC and DC electrical installations, to provide electrical continuity between all parts of the clothing and a reduction of electric field inside the clothing.

This document is applicable to conductive clothing assembled from a conductive garment (jackets and trousers or coveralls forming a one-piece garment) and from conductive component parts (gloves, hoods or helmets, shoes or boots, overshoe socks and socks) in electrical systems with nominal voltage up to 1 000 kV AC and up to ±800 kV DC.

This document does not indicate values of protection from the effects of the electric arc, because any value indicated would not guarantee the necessary protection from the effects of electric arcs, or the operator would need to wear very heavy and rigid conductive clothing, which would not allow the execution of the work in safety.

The products designed and manufactured according to this document contribute to the safety of the users provided they are used by persons trained for the work, in accordance with the live working methods and the instructions for use.
