36、0 November 2002 1 Scope This international standard is applicable to insulating sleeves for the protection of workers from accidental contact with live electrical conductors, apparatus or circuits. 1.1 Five classes of sleeve, differing in electrical characteristics, are provided and designated as: C
37、lass 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4. 1.2 Five categories of sleeve with different properties are provided, related to the following: resistance to acid, resistance to oil, resistance to ozone, combined resistance to oil and ozone, and also resistance to extreme low temperature. These are d
38、esignated as Categories A, H, Z, S and C respectively. 1.3 Two styles of sleeve, differing in configuration, are provided and designated as straight taper and curved elbow. 2 Definitions For the purpose of this standard, the terms hereafter have the following meanings: elastomer a generic term that
39、includes rubbers, latex and elastomeric compounds that may be natural or synthetic, or a mixture, or a combination of both type test a test of one or more devices made to a certain design to show that the design meets certain specifications (IEV 1)151-04-15) routine test a test to which each individ
40、ual device is subjected during or after manufacture to ascertain whether it complies with certain criteria (IEV 151-04-16) sampling test a test on a number of devices taken at random from a batch (IEV 151-04-17) acceptance test a contractual test to prove to the customer that the device meets certai
