This prestandard applies to switching sticks to work on live parts with nominal voltages of 1 kV to 420 kV. It is applicable only in conjunction with DIN V VDE 0681-1 (VDE V 0681-1). The devices can be used indoor and outdoor. With the appropriate design, they can also be used for short periods under the influence of weather conditions which moisten the switching stick. Switching sticks complying with this prestandard may only be used to a limited extent in factory-fabricated systems or parts of systems, for example in accordance with DIN EN 62271-200 (VDE 0671-200) and DIN EN 62271-201 (VDE 0671-201). DIN VDE V 0681-1 (VDE V 0681-1), 4.2.2 shall be observed. This standard differs from DIN 57681-2 (VDE 0681-2):1977-03 as follows: a) The restriction to a maximum permissible handle length of 1 000 mm, which is not in line with practical requirements, has been deleted. b) The marking according to DIN 48699 "Insulator" has been replaced by the marking according to IEC 60417-5216 (DB: 2002-10) "Double triangle". c) The normative and informative references to other standards as well as the Bibliography have been updated. d) The scope of the recurrent test has been specified (informative). The responsible committee is DKE/UK 214.4 "Ausrüstung und Geräte zum Arbeiten unter Spannung; Prüfgeräte, Isolierstangen und Vorrichtungen zum Erden und Kurzschließen" ("Equipment and devices for live working; test apparatus, insulating rods and devices for grounding and short circuiting") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
This document replaces DIN 57681-2:1977-03; DIN VDE 0681-2:1977-03; VDE 0681-2:1977-03 .
