IEC 60092-352:2025 provides the basic requirements for the selection, installation and operating conditions of electrical cables intended for fixed electrical systems on board ships at voltages (U) up to and including Um 18/30 (36) kV, symmetrical category cables and fibre optic cables.
The reference to fixed systems includes those that are subjected to vibration (due to the movement of the ship) or movement (due to motion of the ship) and not to those that are intended for frequent flexing.
Cables subject to frequent or continual flexing use, which can withstand the mechanical stress and the environment they are exposed to, are detailed in other IEC specifications such as IEC 60227 and IEC 60245. Flexible cables are frequently used for retractable thrusters, elevators, moving decks, cranes, shore connections and other moving applications on board ships.

IEC TS 63263:2025 describes a test method for evaluating the lifetime of winding wires under electrical high frequency voltage impulses (with partial discharges) at elevated temperatures. This method is only applicable as a comparative examination under a given sample preparation and testing environment. The comparative nature of this document lies in the fact that the lifetime under partial discharges depends on a large number of influencing factors in the sample preparation and test conditions which could not all be thoroughly investigated so far.
This document applies to round and rectangular magnet wires.

IEC TR 63162:2025, which is a Technical Specification, provides failure rates at reference conditions for electric components, considering reference conditions defined in IEC 61709.
Reference conditions are useful since they provide a known standard basis from which failure rates can be modified to account for differences in environment from the environments taken as reference conditions.
To perform reliability prediction, which is described in IEC 61709:2017, Annex C, failure rates, together with assumptions and limitations, are used.
IEC 61709 does not provide failure rates for components, but only provides models that allow failure rates obtained by other means to be converted from one operating condition to another operating condition.
This document provides generic failure rates considering those contained in the list of selected sources, calculated at reference conditions, as defined in IEC 61709. In fact, although models are different, calculated values at reference conditions do not appear to be so different, hence allowing a consistent converging process. See also IEC 61709:2017, 4.6.
Each user can easily calculate failure rates at any condition using IEC 61709.

IEC 60332‑1‑2:2025 specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions using a 1 kW pre-mixed flame. The apparatus is described in IEC 60332‑1‑1.
NOTE 1 Testing to IEC 60332‑1‑2 can be performed simultaneously with that to IEC 60332‑1‑3, if required.
This group safety publication focusing on test method(s) is primarily intended to be used as a product safety standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of standards for products similar to those mentioned in the scope of this group safety publication, in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51.
NOTE 2 The performing of this test method on a single insulated conductor or cable or optical fibre cable does not provide compliance with fire propagation requirements in relevant standards in the case that the single insulated conductor or cable or optical fibre cable is installed with or amongst other cables as a group. (See the IEC 60332‑3 series).
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications and/or group safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
