A list oforganizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to itssecretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 8020:2002, which is to be withdrawn on31 December 2011.Relationship with other publicationsWhile BS EN 60900 provides a s

10、pecification for hand-held insulated andinsulating tools for live working, these are tools primarily used by electriciansand other electrical personnel. That standard does not provide an appropriatespecification for the larger, purpose-designed, specialist tools employed in trackwork. However, full

11、account has been taken of the requirements of BS EN 60900in drafting this standard to ensure uniformity of approach and commonrequirements where practicable.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard and introduces the following principalchanges:a) additional requirements

12、 concerning the design and construction of hybridtools are included, i.e. tools that include both insulating and insulated parts;b) an additional mechanical test for verifying the insulation bond of hybridtools is included;c) an additional mechanical test for verifying the insulation wear of hybridt

13、ools and all other tools incorporating an insulating sleeve is included;d) a type and sampling wet electrical test for verifying the electrical insulationof finished hybrid tools is included in addition to the routine dry electricaltest;e) the determination of sample sizes in Annex E has been simpli

14、fied to reflectthe fact that many tools are manufactured in small batch sizes.Assessed capability. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider thedesirability of quality system assessment and registration against the appropriatestandard in the BS EN ISO 9000 series by an accredited third-

19、nd tools, where the applied insulation for the latter is acombination of the measures used separately for insulated and insulating tools.This British Standard does not provide a specification according to the definitionof an insulated tool because the size, design and construction of specialist trac

20、ktools makes this method of insulation application alone impracticable.The tools specified in this British Standard are for work on or in close proximityto ground-level, fully exposed live conductor rails providing traction supplies forelectrified railways. Such traction supply systems are in wide u

21、se in certain areasof Great Britain, particularly in London and southern England. These tractionsystems date from the early days of railway electrification and their design andconstruction impose special requirements concerning tools used for track work,in order to meet modern safety requirements. T

22、hese specialist tools are intendedto protect the user from electric shock and minimize the risk of causingshort-circuits by bridging between two conductive parts at different potentials.NOTE BS EN 50163 specifies requirements for the supply voltages of tractionsystems.1 ScopeThis British Standard sp

23、ecifies requirements for insulating hand tools and hybridinsulating hand tools used for work on or in close proximity to conductor railsproviding traction supplies, in accordance with BS EN 50163, to electrifiedrailways and mass transit systems operating at voltages up to 1 000 V a.c. or1 500 V d.c.
