FAQ

What does IEC 60900 certification mean?

IEC 60900 is the international standard for insulated hand tools used on live systems up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC. Certified tools have passed rigorous electrical insulation tests and carry the double-triangle symbol with the voltage rating.

Is the R18 VDE safe to use on live systems?

Yes. All 118 tools carry IEC 60900-certified insulation rated for 1000V AC. Always inspect insulation condition before use — tools with damaged insulation must not be used on live systems.

How does the R18 VDE differ from other RETTER models?

The R18 VDE is the only RETTER model built exclusively for electrical work. Unlike R12, R13, R22S, and R23, it contains no standard workshop tools — all 118 pieces are IEC 60900 VDE-insulated, making it a specialist electrical workstation.

What warranty covers the R18 VDE?

3-year warranty on manufacturing defects, with proof of purchase and original packaging.
