Defines requirements for insulating hand tools and hybrid insulating hand tools used for work on or in close proximity to conductor rails providing traction supplies, in accordance with BS EN 50163, to electrified railways and mass transit systems operating at voltages up to 1000 V a.c. or 1500 V d.c.

This British Standard specifies requirements for insulating hand tools and hybrid insulating hand tools used for work on or in close proximity to conductor rails providing traction supplies, in accordance with BSEN50163, to electrified railways and mass transit systems operating at voltages up to 1000V a.c. or 1500V d.c.

It is not applicable to hand-held insulated and insulating tools conventionally used by electricians and others for work on live electrical apparatus, which are specified in BSEN60900.
