Are your pliers VDE?
When buying 1000V insulated tools, the most important consideration is ensuring the official double-triangle 1000V icon, along with the full standard – in our case, IEC 60900:2018 – is hard-marked on the product.
Manufacturers can choose to get products certified by the VDE institute, but the IEC 60900 standard does not require it.
