This Section of the A. I. E. E. Standards, "Insulator Tests" is a revision of a former A. I. E. E. Standard No. 41, entitled "Insulator Test Specifications". The work of revision was handled by a Sectional Committee organized under the procedure of the American Standards Association. It has received approval as an American Standard through presentation to the American Standards Association under the joint sponsorship of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.

These Standards are not to be interpreted as forming complete insulator specifications but rather as defining the methods of making the various tests described when they are required.
