AS/NZS IEC 60903:2020
Live working - Electrical insulating gloves
Objective of this Standard is to specify the requirements for electrical insulating gloves and mitts that provide protection of the worker against electric shock. This standard also covers electrical insulating gloves with additional integrated mechanical protection, referred to in this document as “composite gloves”. AS/NZS IEC 60903:2020 constitutes an identical adoption of IEC 60903:2014 Live working – Electrical insulating gloves.
