VDE insulated tools from Wiha
Because safety comes first
How does the Wiha safety test procedure according to IEC work?
Voltage testing: All Wiha VDE-tools, which have special markings, are individually tested at 10,000 V AC and are approved for 1,000 V AC and 1,500 V DC.
Cold shock test: Cooling down to -25° C. The skinning material must retain its toughness, so that it doesn´t break when subjected to shock and knocks. .
Test of electrical skinning properties: 24 hours storage in water, then 3 minutes test at 10,000 V AC. There must neither be flashover nor disruptive discharge
Test of the adhesion of the skinning material coating: 168 hours storage at 70° C, then test of adhesion at 500 N.
Pressure tests: Test at 20 N pressure load, 70° C temperature and 5,000 V AC test voltage. No disruptive discharge may occur.
Test of combustion behaviour: The tools are subjected to a flame for 10 seconds. The skinning material must then extinguish and not continue to burn.
Multi-certified - For guaranteed safe working
Who is the VDE?
VDE stands for Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V. This was founded in 1893 under the name Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE). The association is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. The VDE unites science, standardization, testing, certification and application consulting under one roof. For 100 years, the VDE symbol has been synonymous with the highest safety standards and consumer protection. (Source: vde.com)
