BS EN 60974-12:1996 is a European Standard titled "Arc welding equipment - Part 12: Coupling devices for welding cables". This standard specifies the requirements for coupling devices used to connect welding cables to welding equipment in manual metal arc welding (MMA) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.
Coupling devices are used to connect welding cables to welding equipment, such as power sources, electrode holders, and workpieces. They play an important role in ensuring that the welding process is safe, reliable, and efficient.
BS EN 60974-12:1996 covers a range of requirements for coupling devices, including their electrical and mechanical properties, insulation, marking, and testing procedures. It provides guidance on the selection, use, and maintenance of coupling devices to ensure that they are safe and effective for use in welding applications.
This standard was first published in 1996 and has since been updated and revised to reflect changes in technology and industry best practices. It is recognized as a harmonized standard by the European Union and is widely used by manufacturers of welding equipment to ensure that their coupling devices comply with the necessary safety and performance requirements.
