INSULATED TOOLS

Regulated by standards
Only trained professionals are allowed to work on live installations
Such work is subject to strict occupational health and safety standards
such as the German DIN VDE 0105 and the international EN 50110
and IEC 6036 In each case they must deploy special tools that have
been speciƂcally manufactured and tested for this work Which
