Specifies standards of performance. Does not apply to service lines.

This standard sets out performance and general requirements for insulator and conductor fittings (other than helical fittings which are covered in AS 1154, Part 3) for use on overhead electric power lines, excluding insulated service lines.NOTE: The term 'manufacturer' in this standard shall also be taken to mean 'supplier'.
