Abstract

Defines performance and safety requirements for: a) Pliers suitable for cutting wire; b) Long nose, long reach pliers; c) Hand shears generally used for cutting sheet metal; d) Wire twister pliers, which are used primarily for securing safety wires; e) Pliers suitable for inserting and removing internal and external retaining rings, including those covered by ASME B18.27; f) Pliers having gripping surfaces and/or cutting edges; g) Cutters and pliers less than 6 in. long, equipped with a spring, typically used in the manufacture of electronic equipment; h) Adjustable joint and slip joint pliers. i) Locking pliers that are suitable for gripping, clamping, pinching, and wrenching; j) Functional testing of pliers and shears; k) Pliers (also known as Cannon Plug Pliers) that are used primarily for connecting or disconnecting threaded lock collars of electrical connectors; and l) Wire strippers, and the cutting and stripping functions of multipurpose tools, for use on solid and stranded copper wire.
