In
16、1995 the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) accepted IEC 1235:1993, together with common modifications, as European Standard EN 61235:1995. As a consequence of implementing the European Standard this British Standard is numbered as BS EN 61235 and any reference to BS 7

General 1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to insulating hollow tubes made of synthetic materials and intended for tools and equipment for work o
32、n systems operating at voltages above 1 kV. Separate special technical standards give details of tests for fittings and attachments to these hollow tube terminal parts or complete tools. Other dimension such as tube diameters 64 mm, 77 mm and 100 mm are under consideration. Other manufacturing metho
33、ds are under consideration. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to r
