This guide is for the application of high-voltage suspension and line post composite insulators used to insulate and support overhead transmission and distribution lines. It deals with composite insulators that include a solid core rod, which in turn consists of a matrix of axially aligned glass fibers and a resin, an elastomeric material housing and weathersheds, and metal end-fittings. It is based on utility field experience, results of research laboratory tests, and manufacturers' recommendations.

IEEE Guide for Monitoring, Managing, and Cleaning of Contaminated Insulators
Procedures for cleaning contaminated electrical insulators (excluding nuclear, toxic, and hazardous chemical contaminants) of all types, using various equipment and techniques, are provided in this guide.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
