Summary

Recommendation ITU-T K.64 describes working practices for service personnel to help them work safely in telecommunication installations in three specific environments.

The specific environments covered in this Recommendation are characterized by wet conditions or close proximity to exposed metallic parts.

The working practices apply to telecommunication plants with voltage levels higher than the limits defined for analogue PSTN circuits, such as remote feeding telecommunication current or voltage (RFT-C or RFT-V) circuits.

This version of Recommendation ITU-T K.64 includes a warning regarding contact with terminals carrying RFT circuits with small parts of the body, e.g., back of the hand. The references have been updated to include the IEC 62368 series.
