ISO 17874-5:2007

The purpose of ISO 17874-5:2007 is to provide guidance for the selection, installation and use of manually-operated remote handling tongs within nuclear installations. ISO 17874-5:2007 covers only the specific engineering aspects of manually-operated remote handling tongs and their interfaces with the nuclear facilities in which these devices are to be installed. Specifically, ISO 17874-5:2007 does not address design options concerning aspects such as the process and general maintenance arrangements that lead to the selection of any particular type of remote handling device.
