Specifies the performance and safety requirements and tests for lance devices with matching fixed contacts, guiding arrangements, enclosure, insulating elements and earthing cables. Only covers equipment using copper bars, aluminium bars or iron bars as short circuiting medium. Coverage includes: insulation co ordination with assemblies; lance insertion and removal test; lances, lance contacts and guiding components; testing durability of marking. Also gives definitions, diagrams, tables and annexes.
