The marking shall be durable, clearly visible and legible to a person with normal or corrected vision without additional magnification. The marking shall be placed in a position remote from the strip indicating the positions of internal metal parts.
Other characteristics or information not needed at the work location, like the year of publication of the standard, shall be associated to the product item by other means, such as coded information (bar codes, microchips, etc.), or shall be associated to its packaging.
No marking shall adversely affect performance of Insulating parts. Where a removable marking (e.g. a stick-on label) is used, the electrical performance 01 the tool shall remain unaffected when the marking is removed.
4.8 InstructIons for use
Each tool shall be supplied with the manufacturer’s written instructions for use and care.
These instructions shall be prepared in accordance with the general provisions given in
IEC 61477.
These instructions shall include, as a minimum, recommendations for maximum mechanical load (see 4 4,2), cleaning, storage and transportation, periodic testing, possible repair and disposal of the tool.
5 Tests
51 General
The present standard provides testing provisions to demonstrate compliance of the product to the requirements of Clause 4. These testing provisions are primarily intended to be used as type tests for validation of the design input. Where relevant, alternative means (calculation. examination, tests, etc.), are specified within the test subclauses for the purpose of insulating sticks having completed the production phase.
To show compliance with this standard, the manufacturer shall prove that the type tests referred to in Tables B.1 and B.2 have been successfully carried out on at least three tools of each type of assembly.
However, when differences between various types of tools are limited in number, tests that are unaffected by the differing characteristics of the tools can be carried Out on a single type of tool and the results can be used for the other tool types.
Tensile force tests need not be repeated when tool types Only differ in the length of the Insulating foam-filled tube or solid rod.
The tests referred to in Tables B.1 and B.2 shall be performed In the specified numbered order,
The required values of mechanical forces specified in Clause 5 shall be reached using a rate of increase between 1 % and 10 % of the rated force per second. The forces shall be applied with an accuracy of ±5 %.
NOTE For .z5mpi., if the rated fined. force stated by the manufacturer for, given tool is = 100 N. th, rat, of increase will be between 1 Ne and 10 Nis and tie applied force to th, tool will be between 95 N and 105 N
The dimensions specified in mm in Clause 5 shall be verified with an accuracy of +2 % Unless otherwise specIfied, room temperature shall be (25 ± 10) C.
5.2 Visual inspection
Each tool shall be visually inspected to detect manufacturing defaults and to check proper functioning and compliance with requirements included in 42. 4.5. 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 where applicable.
5.3 DImensional check
Each tool shall be measured to ensure that Its dimensions match the manufacturers rated
dimensions.
5.4 Durability of marking
The durability of the marking shall be verified by thoroughly cleaning the marking for at least
1 mm with a piece of lint-free cloth dampened with water and then rubbing It vigorously for a
further minimum of 1 mm with a piece of lint-free cloth dampened with isopropanol
(CH3-CH(OH)-CH3).
NOTE 1 It is the employers duty to ensure that iy retevant legreiet.on and any specific safety instruct,ons regarding th. use ol isopropanol ar• fully observed
The test shall be considered as passed if the marking remains legible and the letters do not smear
The surface of the tool may change. No Signs of loosening shall be present for labels.
NOTE 2 Marlung made by moulding 0 engraving need not be sublected to this test
5.5 MechanIcal tests
5.5.1 Cold impact test on the end fitting
If the tool has more than one end fitting, each different type of end fitting shall be tested.
The end fitting of the tool shall be left in a chamber at a temperature of (—25 t 3) C for at least 2 h. The impact test shall be performed at a time interval not greater than 120 s after removing the end fitting from the chamber.
NOTE Depending on the relative dimensions of the test cfla,nber and ol the tool under test, It Is permitted to have only the tested •strernity of the tool inserted in the test chamber by a porthole.
The height (H) of fall of the hammer shall be calculated in relation to Its weight (P). so that the impact force on the end fitting shall be equal to that of the complete tool falling from a height of 0,6 m on a hard surface.
