NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) which is identical with IEC 61243-2 : 2002 ‘Live working — Voltage detectors — Part 2: Resistive type to be used for voltages of 1 kV to 36 kV a.c.’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) incorporating Amendment No. 1 published in 1999 and Amendment No. 2 published in 2002 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.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and 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’.

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.
