Unless otherwise stated, the use of the term “glove” includes both gloves and mitts. The use of
34、the term “insulating gloves” designates gloves providing electrical protection only. The use of the term “composite gloves” designates gloves providing electrical and mechanical protection. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this docume
