LIVE WORKING –
INSULATING ROPES


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62192 has been prepared by technical committee 78: Live
working.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
78/773/FDIS 78/787/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be

INTRODUCTION
Insulating ropes designed and manufactured according to this standard contribute to the
safety of the users, provided they are used by skilled persons, in accordance with safe
methods of work and the instructions for use.
This International Standard defines the required electrical properties of insulating ropes which
already meet other specifications relating to mechanical strength, physical and construction
properties, for use in live working at the power frequency system voltages up to and including
800 kV r.m.s.
This standard does not propose to address all the safety factors associated with the use of
the insulating rope. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety practices.
Ropes which meet this standard can bridge two or more live phase conductors, or one phase
conductor and earth as required during live working. Effects of the use of insulating ropes on
the dielectric strength of the installation have to be evaluated. Depending on the configuration
of an installation, the use of insulating ropes will have different effects on its dielectric
strength.
Cotton, sisal and hemp ropes are unsuitable for this application, as are any other ropes that
exhibit electrical conductivity. Examples of ropes which are able to meet the requirements of
this standard are formed from fibres that have been treated with a wax or other chemical
which causes the surface of the rope to become hydrophobic.
This document has been prepared according to the requirements of IEC 61477 where
applicable.
The product covered by this standard may have an impact on the environment during some or
all stages of its life cycle. These impacts can range from slight to significant, be of short-term
or long-term, and occur at the global, regional or local level.
Except for a requirement for the selection of a testing dye and the disposal statement in the
instructions for use, this standard does not include requirements and test provisions for the
manufacturers of the product, or recommendations to the users of the product for
environmental improvement. However, all parties intervening in its design, manufacture,
packaging, distribution, use, maintenance, repair, reuse, recovery and disposal are invited to
take account of environmental considerations.
