Applies to electrode holders designed for use with welding power sources complying with AS 1966, Parts 1 and 2. The electrode holders are divided into three major types depending on the insulation level, and further divided into five classes depending on the current rating and duty cycle. Construction performance requirements and test methods are also included.

This standard specifies requirements for electrode holders intended for use in manual metal-arc welding, and suitable for use with welding power sources complying with AS 1966, Parts 1 and 2.
