I. Notes when working in electrical environment with VDE tools

VDE (Verband Der Elektrotechnik) is one of the largest scientific and technical associations in Europe, responsible for the testing and certification of electrical tools and equipment. The VDE Testing and Certification Institute is a nationally and internationally recognized organization in the fields of electrical equipment, components and systems. VDE is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main and has main branches in Brussels and Berlin with more than 36,000 members including 1,300 business and organization members and 8,000 students, who always strive to study and dedicate themselves to their work.

VDE-certified tools are tools that have been thoroughly tested, ensure electrical safety, and can work in high voltage environments. Especially when working with live electricity, standard insulated tools are indispensable companions. In addition, there are 8 basic safety notes that you must remember when working in an electrical environment:

1. Check the insulation carefully before starting any work.

The insulation of the tool must be free of any damage before handling. External factors such as temperature, UV rays or other natural factors can cause damage to the insulation of the tool. Such tools shall not be used in an electrical environment.

2. Turn off the circuit breaker and circuit breaker before operating.

If the work does not require working with live power, turn off all circuit breakers/circuit breakers before starting, and make sure they will not turn back on while you are working.

3. Check with electrical measuring tools

Check for power with the appropriate tools. Working with live electricity is dangerous, so unless necessary, make sure the equipment you are working on is not energized.

4. Make sure the tool is free of water before handling.

VDE standard tools are only insulated in dry conditions, if you leave the tool wet and work with live electricity, the water will still conduct electricity and create danger.

5. Use the correct products in the set

For VDE products with removable parts such as screwdriver handles and replaceable blades, the correct handle must be used according to regulations, do not use with external equipment such as drills...

6. Proper maintenance after use

Proper maintenance will keep your tools in top condition and also help protect the insulation on your tools. For example, with VDE insulated screwdrivers, use a soft, damp cloth to clean after use. For stubborn stains, soapy water can be used to clean.

7. Store under suitable conditions

Store VDE tools in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

8. Choose a reputable brand

Look for high-end, reputable brands, especially for tools that require a high level of safety. Some of the top European brands you can consider are PB Swiss Tools, Wera, Knipex, Holex…
