17、e and Use4.1 This specification covers the minimum electrical,chemical and physical properties guaranteed by the manufac-turer and the detailed procedures by which such properties areto be determined. The purchaser may as his/her option, performor have performed any of these tests in order to verify

18、 theguarantee. Claims for failure to meet the specification aresubject to verification by the manufacturer.4.2 Rubber Insulating Sheeting is used for personal protec-tion; therefore, when authorizing its use a margin of safetyshall be allowed between the maximum voltage at which it isused and the pr

19、oof-test voltage at which it is tested. Therelationship between proof-test and the maximum voltage atwhich Sheeting shall be used is shown in Table 1.4.3 Work practices vary from user to user, depending uponmany factors. These factors may include, but are not limited tooperating system voltages, des

20、ign, work procedures and tech-niques, weather conditions, etc. Therefore, except for therestrictions set forth in this specification because of designlimitations, the use and maintenance of the equipment isbeyond the scope of this specification.4.3.1 It is common practice and the responsibility of t

21、he userof this type of protective equipment to prepare completeinstructions and regulations to govern the correct and safe useof such equipment.5. Classification5.1 Sheeting covered under this specification shall be des-ignated as Type I or Type II: Class 00, Class 0, Class I, Class2, Class 3, or Cl

Any such fabric

26、insert shall not affect adversely the dielectric characteristics ofthe sheeting.7.2 The sheeting shall be marked clearly and permanently ata maximum interval of 0.33 m (1ft) with the name of themanufacturer or supplier, ASTM (this specification#), Type,and Class.8.
