本标准适用于带电作业中使用的工具和设备的术语。本标准并非提供带电作业中使用的所有术语的详细定义的词典，而是仅提供必要的详细信息，而不说明其部件和使用方法，以便识别工具和设备，并使其名称标准化。本指南中使用的术语代表北美通常使用的术语。IEC出版物743（1983）中的英语术语，即带电作业中使用的工具和设备的术语，通常使用“杆”而不是“杆”，使用“榫”而不是“舌”。还应注意的是，本指南中未显示其他可用且目前正在使用的工具。

This standard applies to terminology for tools and equipment used in live line working. This standard is not intended to be a dictionary giving detailed definitions of all the terms used in live line working, but only the necessary details, without indications of their components and their methods of use, to permit identification of the tools and equipment and to standardize their names. Terms used in this guide represent the terms normally used in North America. English terms in the IEC Publication 743 (1983), Terminology for Tools and Equipment to Be Used in Live Working, will typically use the word pole instead of stick and tenon instead of tongue. It should also be noted that there are other tools available and presently in use that are not shown in this guide.
