    If it’s for live LV working, they should be to an international standard. WEL issue all staff insulated tools complying with ESN 60900. Re testing: no as the tooling is only secondary protection i.e. stopping contact with another live conductor or at earth potential potential equipment. Your primary protection is use insulating gloves with insulating mats to cover up all second points of contact
