This part of IEC 60216 specifies the calculation procedures used for deriving thermal
endurance characteristics from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions
of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 [1]1, using fixed ageing temperatures and variable ageing
times.
The experimental data can be obtained using non-destructive, destructive or proof tests. Data
obtained from non-destructive or proof tests can be incomplete, in that it is possible that
measurement of times taken to reach the end-point will have been terminated at some point
after the median time but before all specimens have reached end-point.
The procedures are illustrated by worked examples, and suitable computer programs are
recommended to facilitate the calculations.

This document specifies the method of test for the determination of the proof and comparative
tracking indices of solid insulating materials on pieces taken from parts of equipment and on
plaques of material using alternating voltage.
This document provides a procedure for the determination of erosion when required.
NOTE 1 The proof tracking index is used as an acceptance criterion as well as a means for the quality control of
materials and fabricated parts. The comparative tracking index is mainly used for the basic characterization and
comparison of the properties of materials.
This test method evaluates the composition of the material as well as the surface of the
material being evaluated. Both the composition and surface condition directly influence the
results of the evaluation and are considered when using the results in material selection
process.
Test results are not directly suitable for the evaluation of safe creepage distances when
designing electrical apparatus.
NOTE 2 This is in compliance with IEC 60664-1, Insulation coordination for equipment within low-voltage
systems – Part 1: Principles, requirements and tests.
NOTE 3 This test discriminates between materials with relatively poor resistance to tracking, and those with
moderate or good resistance, for use in equipment which can be used under moist conditions. More severe tests of
longer duration are available for the assessment of performance of materials for outdoor use, utilizing higher
voltages and larger test specimens (see the inclined plane test of IEC 60587). Other test methods such as the
inclined method can rank materials in a different order from the drop test given in this document.
This basic safety publication focusing on a safety test method is primarily intended for use by
technical committees in the preparation of safety publications in accordance with the
principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.

EN-IEC 61857 series is focused on applications where other possible factors need to be incorporated to evaluate any influence on the performance of the electrical insulation system (EIS). Multi- factor evaluation is the most complex type of project to design and conduct. Clear guidelines are needed to give the user of this document a uniform approach and a method to analyse the test results. This document is for applications where the stresses are some combination of other factors of influence identified in IEC 60505. The multi-factor stresses are applied during the diagnostic portion of each test cycle. A few examples of other factors of influence or multi-factor stresses are: - high vibration; - submersion in oils, water, or solutions; - voltage higher than the test voltage of the reference EIS; - decreased cold shock temperature.

This part of IEC 60071 constitutes application guidelines and deals with the selection of
insulation levels of equipment or installations for three-phase electrical systems. Its aim is to
give guidance for the determination of the rated withstand voltages for ranges I and II of
IEC 60071-1 and to justify the association of these rated values with the standardized highest
voltages for equipment.
This association is for insulation co-ordination purposes only. The requirements for human
safety are not covered by this document.
This document covers three-phase systems with nominal voltages above 1 kV. The values
derived or proposed herein are generally applicable only to such systems. However, the
concepts presented are also valid for two-phase or single-phase systems.
This document covers phase-to-earth, phase-to-phase and longitudinal insulation.
This document is not intended to deal with routine tests. These are to be specified by the
relevant product committees.
The content of this document strictly follows the flow chart of the insulation co-ordination
process presented in Figure 1 of IEC 60071-1:2006. Clauses 4 to 7 correspond to the squares
in this flow chart and give detailed information on the concepts governing the insulation coordination
process which leads to the establishment of the required withstand levels.
This document emphasizes the necessity of considering, at the very beginning, all origins, all
classes and all types of voltage stresses in service irrespective of the range of highest voltage
for equipment. Only at the end of the process, when the selection of the standard withstand
voltages takes place, does the principle of covering a particular service voltage stress by a
standard withstand voltage apply. Also, at this final step, this document refers to the
correlation made in IEC 60071-1 between the standard insulation levels and the highest
voltage for equipment.
The annexes contain examples and detailed information which explain or support the
concepts described in the main text, and the basic analytical techniques used.

The actual size and wall thickness shall be agreed between the user and supplier depending on the electric strength of the installed tubing offered and the requirements of the user. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.

This part of IEC 60684 gives the requirements for heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, antitracking with a nominal shrink ratio of 3:1. This sleeving has been found suitable for use at temperatures up to 100 °C. Typically: medium wall, internal diameter up to 110 mm. These sleevings are normally supplied in the colours red or brown. Since these types of sleevings cover a significantly large range of sizes and wall thicknesses, Table A.1 in this standard provides guidance on the range of sizes available. The actual size shall be agreed between the user and the supplier. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. This sleeving is designed to be used in medium voltage cable accessories and as such electrical performance must be proven as part of the assembly. Examples of this are described in HD 629 and IEC 60502 series.
