Summary

For a long time, new tower designs have been validated by loading tests. IEC 60652, Loading Tests on Overhead LineStructures, was first published in 1979 to standardize and provide guidance for performing Tests. After some years of practical experience with that standard, WG B2.08 decided to review its application. With this objective two questionnaires were circulated. A summary of the answers and the relevant conclusions are shown in the TB.
