Is applicable to insulating gloves and mitts made of plastic or elastomer with appropriate mechanical protection for use without over-gloves. Unless otherwise stated, the use of the term glove only includes gloves and mitts. The gloves are intended to be used for working live or close to live parts at nominal voltages up to 7 500 V a.c. or 11 250 V d.c.
