This exacting standard was introduced to ensure the best possible protection from potential harm when working on or in close proximity to live conductor cables. Each tool is tested to 10,000v ac, and each tool is supplied with individual traceable certificate of conformity.

If the outer protection abrades in use and the white sleeve becomes visible, the tool should be removed from use around live working systems.
