EN/IEC 60900:2018 is the standard for tools used for live working

Why is this important?

  • The standard is a key safety benchmark for electrical work and helps in selecting suitable insulated tools.

Here you’ll find our tools, which are manufactured in accordance with this standard


By the way:

Live-line working – hand tools for use up to 1000 V AC (alternating current) and 1500 V DC (direct current).
[Wikipedia / Further explanation: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_DIN-VDE-Standards/Gruppe_6]

AC is the abbreviation for Alternating Current
DC stands for Direct Current

Alternating current (AC) changes polarity 50 times per second (= 50 hertz or 50 Hz)
