Conformance tests and requirements for the coating integrity of pole-mounted enclosures containing apparatus energized in excess of 600 V, and for application in coastal environments, are specified in this standard. These enclosures are typically located out of reach of the general public, and include, but are not limited to, the following types of equipment enclosures: pole-mounted distribution transformers, pole-mounted switches, pole-mounted regulators, pole-mounted metering equipment, pole-mounted reclosers, and pole-mounted switchgear.

This standard covers conformance tests and requirements for the enclosure integrity of pole-mounted equipment for installations in coastal environments, containing apparatus energized in excess of 600 V, typically not accessible to the general public, such as but not limited to the following types of equipment: a) Pole-mounted distribution transformers b) Pole-mounted switches c) Pole-mounted regulators d) Pole-mounted metering equipment e) Pole-mounted reclosers/sectionalizers f) Pole-mounted capacitors

The purpose of this standard is to describe the requirements for a comprehensive enclosure integrity system for pole-mounted equipment providing long service life with minimum maintenance.
