NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with IEC 61318 : 2021 'Live working - Methods for assessment of defects and verification of performance applicable to tools, devices and equipment' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Tools And Equipment for Live Working Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.

This standard was published in 2001 and subsequently revised in year 2014 to bring it in line with latest IEC. The second revision has been undertaken to align it with latest version of IEC 61318 to make pace with the latest developments that have taken place at international level.

The text of the IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
