AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard
14、requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and mater
15、ially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely vol
16、untary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards
17、and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be ad

22、ican National Standard is an adoption of IEC 60974-11, edition 2, Arc welding equipment Part 11: Electrode holders, and was developed and approved in accordance with procedures set forth by the American National Standards Institute. Any reference in this standard to an IEC 60974 part is understood t
23、o mean a reference to the equivalent ANSI/IEC 60974 part, where it exists. This standard contains all the original text from IEC 60974-11, edition 2, in addition to a number of U.S. Differences to the IEC standard that were identified by Accredited Standards Committee W1, Requirements for Apparatus
24、Designed for Use in Arc Welding, Plasma Arc Cutting, and Allied Processes. Each U.S. Difference is found both in a compilation of U.S. Differences following this foreword, and inserted in the appropriate place(s) in the standard relating to the difference. Each insertion is in red text and is marked
25、 by three lines on its left (two thin, one thick). Each difference is identified with the following format: Clause/Subclause NumberDVNumber of Difference for the Given Clause/Subclause Following this format, the example 17.1DV.3 signifies that it is the third U.S. Difference to subclause 17.1.

35、 _ ARC WELDING EQUIPMENT Part 11: Electrode holders FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operatio
36、n on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IE
37、C Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparat
38、ion. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensu
39、s of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are
40、made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications tran
41、sparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot b
42、e rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and member
43、s of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or
44、any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may
45、 be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60974-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 26: Electric welding. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992. This
46、 edition constitutes a technical revision. This new edition aligns test conditions (environmental, rated current) with the other parts of the IEC 60974 series. The modification of EN 60974-11:1995 has been adopted. This part of IEC 60974 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60974-1. 60974-11 IEC:20

This publication has been drafted in accordance with th
48、e ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be rec
49、onfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition, or amended.
