1. PCD 03 : 1 : P1 This working group will focus on the design, functionality, and safety standards for combination side cutting pliers used in various electrical, mechanical, and industrial applications. The group will define material requirements, ergonomic considerations, cutting edge durability, and handle insulation for electrical safety. Additionally, it will establish performance benchmarks for cutting efficiency across different wire gauges and hardness levels. Testing methodologies for wear, force requirements, and long-term reliability will be developed, along with guidelines to ensure compliance with industry standards. The group will also address user safety, including slip resistance and hand fatigue during prolonged use. 15-05-2024 15-05-2026 14
2. PCD 03 : 2 : P1 Formulation of standard on test method for evaluating the accuracy of quartz watches 30-09-2024 28-02-2025 2
3. PCD 03 : 1 : P2 The working group will focus on the development, testing, and standardization of non-sparking tools designed for use in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The group will define material compositions, such as copper alloys, aluminum-bronze, or beryllium-copper, that ensure tools do not produce sparks during use. Performance standards will be established for durability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. Additionally, the group will develop testing protocols for verifying spark resistance, as well as guidelines for safe use, maintenance, and inspection of non-sparking tools to prevent accidents in explosive or flammable atmospheres. 15-05-2024 15-05-2026 10
