 Amer ¡can Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the re-
quirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by
National the standards developer.

Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review,
substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Sub-
stantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanim-

ity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted
effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not
in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from man-
ufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not con-
forming t o the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no cir-
cumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no per-
son shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National
Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for inter-
pretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the
title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at
any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that
action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from
the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current infor-
mation on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard C29.6-1984.)

The first edition of this standard was based essentially on the EEI-NEMA (Edison Electric
Institute-National Electrical Manufacturers Association) Standards for Wet-Process Porce-
lain Insulators (High-Voltage Pin Type), EEI TDJ-56, NEMA 144-1952. Subsequent revi-
sions were developed by the Standards Committee on Insulators for Electric Power Lines,
C29.
The principal differences between this edition and the 1977 edition are: movement of the
section on packing to an Appendix, the inclusion of a table for metric equivalents, and
additional dimensions for Figures 1-5.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to
the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 2101 L Street, NW, Washington, DC
20037.
This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by American National
Standards Committee on Insulators for Electric Power Lines, C29. Committee approval of
the standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval.
At the time it approved this standard, the C29 Committee had the following members:

Packing

Packaging of insulators should be such as to afford reasonable and proper protection to the insulators
in shipping and handling.
Each box or container should be marked with: the number of pieces contained therein; the catalog
number, or class number, or description of the contents; and the manufacturer's name.

Ready Access to the

World's Standards through ANSI
Are you seeking a standard vital to your interests?Turn to the American National
Standards Institute, which performs a unique function as America's clearinghouse
and information center for national, international, regional, and foreign standards.
ANSI is the sole source of all approved American National Standards. In addition,
the Institute is the U.S. source for all international standards and drafts of the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International E lectrotechni-
cal Commission (IEC), and of the publications of I S 0 member bodies. And that's
not all . . .

Here's a capsule summary of the wealth of materials available from ANSI -

 American National Standards
The standard in this booklet is one of 8000 standards approved to date by
the American National Standards Institute.
The Standards Institute provides the machinery for creating voluntary stan-
dards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld
conflicting standards into single, nationally accepted standards under the
designation "American National Standards."
Each standard represents general agreement among maker, seller, and user
groups as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem.
Thus the completed standards cut across the whole fabric of prodLiction,
distribution, and consumption of goods and services. American National
Standards, by reason of Institute procedures, reflect a national consensus
of manufacturers, consumers, and scientific, technical, and professional orga-

--`,,`,,,,`,,,`,,,,`,`,,,``,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
nizations, and governmental agencies. The completed standards are used
widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal
governments.
The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, i s the
United States clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards
activity on the national level. It is a federation of trade associations, techni-
cal societies, professional groups, and consumer organizations. Some 1O00
companies are affiliated with the Institute as company members.
The American National Standards Institute is the United States member of
the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO) and the Interna-
tional Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Through these channels U.S. stan-
dards interests make their positions f e l t on the international level. American
National Standards are on file in the libraries of the national standards bodies
of more than 60 countries.
