How about
this thread, Mike ... it's probably the most recent one that mentions 62353.
When you were saying before about folk needing to adopt (follow) 62353 ... actually, I agree with you.
But, as I don't have the actual document to hand (but only John Backes' handy booklet), perhaps you could spell out exactly what's involved.
For instance, can we regard 62353 simply as a sub-set of 60601 ... thereby allowing us to carry on using our old EST's (Electrical Safety Testers)? Or do we need to think about investing in new test kit? And apart from the Rigel *288, which others are available?
And, apart from the introduction of "new models" of testing methods (the Differential, and Alternative methods), what compelling reasons are there to "change over" (from previous or current testing regimes)? BTW: do those two new testing methods have any great (practical) value, would you say?
Also, where is 62353 mandated? DB- (or MDD) this or that? What's the latest (or current) status of 62353 from the "official guidelines" point of view (in the UK, that is)?
From my own (limited) research it also gets a mention in other
domains, by the way. In some ECRI documents, for example.
The bottom line being:- if folk want to align their procedures with the latest thinking here, what do they actually need to do? What steps do they need to take?

There's nothing wrong with Rigel test kit, but its always nice to be aware of what else is out there!
