5、L/78, Tools for live working, which has the responsibility to:The UK technical committee, PEL/78, actively participated in the development of EN 62237 but consistently opposed some of its provisions. In particular, the committee is concerned that the electrical test severely restricts the availabili
6、ty of non-conductive hoses used for live working. It is expected that the tests will be reviewed as part of the maintenance process for EN 62237.The view of the committee is that this standard imposes more onerous test requirements than have previously been necessary for these applications, e.g. in
7、SAE J343 and SAE J517, with the consequence that users will have a more limited choice of non-conductive hoses without any real increase in safety and those that meet the requirements attract an increase in cost.A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its

28、HYDRAULIC TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT 1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to mobile insulating hoses with fittings used with hydraulic tools and equipment for live working at nominal voltages exceeding 1 kV r.m.s. at power frequency. The use under D.C. conditions is not covered by this standar
29、d. Insulating hoses with fittings are used to provide a connection between the hydraulic tool and the pump which are at different potentials. They are not considered as a fixed component of a live working device (e.g. aerial device). They can be connected and disconnected under negligible pressure.
30、They can be directly handled by the user. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

36、tion or by being suitably treated. NOTE When two metallic materials are used, they should be selected in such a way as to avoid electrolytic action. 4.2 Finishing and mechanical protection The various components shall be designed so that they do not create the potential for injury. 4.3 Insulating pa
37、rts Insulation is achieved by using a proper length of insulating hose. End fittings shall not impair the dielectric properties of the tool. The insulating parts shall be characterized by a special colour that shows their insulating property. NOTE Orange is a preferred colour to indicate insulating
38、parts. EN 62237:2005 8 4.4 Conductive parts All conductive parts fixed to insulating parts shall be easily identifiable. The exterior surface of the insulating part that contains a conductive element shall be clearly marked by a line indicating the extreme position of the internal conductive part. A
39、ll conductive parts shall be designed and manufactured so as to limit the risk of short-circuits. 4.5 Markings Each insulating hose with fittings shall be marked with the following permanent markings: manufacturers name or trademark: date of manufacture (month and year) and possibly identification n
40、umber; maximum operating pressure (bar or MPa); insulating length of the insulating hose with fittings; symbol IEC-60417-5216(DB:2002-10) Suitable for live working; double triangle (see Annex A); NOTE The exact ratio of the height of the figure to the base of the triangle is 1,43. For the purpose of
41、 convenience, this ratio can be between the values of 1,4 and 1,5. number of the relevant European Standard immediately adjacent to the symbol (EN 62237). The tolerance of the insulating length is 50 mm. Markings shall be clearly legible to a person with normal or corrected vision, without additiona
42、l magnification. The markings shall be resistant and shall not reduce the performance of the insulating hose with fittings. 4.6 Instructions for use Each insulating hose with fittings shall be supplied with the manufacturers written instructions for use and care. These instructions shall be prepared
43、 in accordance with the general provisions given in IEC 61477. These instructions shall include as a minimum: characteristics of required insulating liquid(s), NOTE When the insulating hoses with fittings are to be used at low temperatures, user and manufacturer should make sure that information on
44、adequate insulating liquid(s) are included. minimum burst pressure; dimensions of the fittings, with tolerance 1 mm; diameters (internal and external) of the insulating hose, with tolerance 2 mm; minimum bending radius, with tolerance 25 mm; weight; instructions for cleaning, storage and transportat
45、ion; instructions for periodic testing, possible repair and disposal of the hose. EN 62237:2005 9 5 Type tests 5.1 General In order to show compliance with this standard, the manufacturer shall provide evidence that the following tests have been carried out successfully. Insulating hoses with fittin
46、gs can be used indoors and outdoors. Unless otherwise specified for a particular test or measurement, the tests are carried out in a normal ambient atmosphere, (see IEC 60212): temperature range 15 C to 35 C; relative humidity 45 % to 80 %. The insulating liquid used for the tests shall meet the cha
47、racteristics specified by the manufacturer in the instructions for use (see 4.6). The references of liquid used for the type tests shall be recorded with the test results. 5.1.1 Preparation of test pieces Before each test, the test pieces shall be prepared by cleaning using isopropanol (CH3-CH(OH)-C
48、H3) and dried in air at room temperature for a period of not less than 15 min, before being filled up if the need arises. Before each electrical test, the parts of the test pieces to be in contact with electrodes shall be covered with conductive adhesive tape, this to be done after the humidity cond
49、itioning when the case arises. Tests are carried out on three groups of test pieces: Group I : the test piece is the whole insulating hose with fittings. Group II : each test piece consists of an insulating hose, at least 600 mm long, filled with insulating liquid at atmospheric pressure, and made watertight with suitable stoppers, which let free the wall section of the hose (see Figure 1). Several test pieces may be formed
