Live working gloves refer to protective gloves designed for use in situations involving live electrical work. These gloves are made from insulating materials that provide a barrier against the flow of electric current, thereby protecting the hands of individuals working with live electrical equipment. The insulating materials used in these gloves are typically high-dielectric-strength materials, such as rubber or other elastomers. These materials are chosen for their ability to resist electrical conductivity and provide an effective barrier against the transmission of electric current.
Workers in various industries, including electric utilities, telecommunications and electrical maintenance, use live working gloves to safeguard themselves while performing tasks on live electrical equipment. The use of proper live working gloves is crucial to minimize the risk of electric shock and ensure the safety of individuals working in environments with live electricity.
These gloves undergo rigorous testing to ensure their effectiveness in protecting against electrical hazards. They are categorized based on their voltage rating, indicating the maximum voltage they can withstand.
All live working gloves of insulating material has been included in the mandatory ISI Certification Scheme under IS 13774: 2021.
This standard applies to gloves and mitts made of insulating material.
This product cannot be exported, imported, or sold in the Indian consumer market without bearing the ISI Mark.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
