This document provides criteria for the re-use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and its mixtures after recovery and reclaiming from electrical equipment (e.g. for maintenance, at the end-oflife). Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen (N2) and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), are gases commonly used for electrical equipment. Taking into account environmental concerns, particular attention is paid to re-use criteria for SF6 and its mixtures with N2 and CF4 for its use in electrical equipment. Procedures for recovering and reclaiming used SF6 and its mixtures are outside the scope of this document and are described in IEC 62271-4. This document provides several annexes on the description of the different methods of analysis, on by-products, on the procedure for evaluating the potential health effects from byproducts, on cryogenic reclaiming of SF6, and on reclaiming recommendations.

This part of IEC 61347 specifies particular safety requirements for battery supplied electronic
controlgear for maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting purposes.
It includes specific requirements for electronic controlgear and control units for self-contained
luminaires for emergency lighting as specified by IEC 60598-2-22.
It is intended for controlgear for fluorescent lamps, but it is also applicable to other lamp types
e.g. incandescent, high pressure discharge lamps and LEDs.
This standard covers the emergency mode operation of a controlgear. For controlgear with a
combination of normal and emergency lighting operation, the normal lighting operation
aspects are covered by the appropriate part 2 of IEC 61347.
DC supplied electronic controlgear for emergency lighting may or may not include batteries.
This standard also includes operational requirements for electronic controlgear, which, in the
case of d.c. supplied electronic controlgear, are regarded as performance requirements. This
is because non-operational emergency lighting equipment presents a safety hazard. It does
not apply to d.c. supplied electronic controlgear for emergency lighting, which are intended for
connection to a centralised emergency power supply system. A centralised emergency power
system could be a central battery system.
NOTE Annex J of IEC 61347-2-3 applies to a.c., a.c./d.c. or d.c. supplied electronic controlgear for connection to
centralised emergency power supply systems that are also intended for emergency lighting operations from

This standard is applicable to mineral insulating oils, originally supplied conforming to IEC 60296, and used in transformers, switchgear and other electrical apparatus where oil sampling is reasonably practicable and where the normal operating conditions specified in the equipment specifications apply. This standard assists the power equipment operator to evaluate the condition of the oil and maintain it in a serviceable condition. It also provides a common basis for the preparation of more specific and complete local codes of practice. This standard includes recommendations on tests and evaluation procedures and outlines methods for reconditioning and reclaiming oil and the decontamination of oil contaminated with PCB. NOTE The condition monitoring of electrical equipment, for example by analysis of dissolved gases, furanic compounds or other means is outside the scope of this standard. The main changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: This standard has been revised to take into account changes in oil and equipment technology and to have due regard for the best practices currently in use world-wide. The action limits for all oil tests have been revised and changes made where necessary to enable users to use current methodology and comply with requirements and regulations affecting safety and environmental aspects. This guidance incorporates changes introduced in associated standards since the publication of the second edition.

This International Standard defines the quality requirements and properties for technical grade sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for use in electrical equipment. It covers the properties and methods of test applicable to SF6 when this substance is supplied for use in connection with any electrical equipment. This second edition differs widely from the first one. The focus is now on the specification of the gas needed for electrical applications. As a consequence, the term employed to name this gas is "technical grade" in place of "new". Based on experience, the acceptable impurity levels have been increased. However, the gas as defined in this new second edition has the same performance in electrical equipment as the gas previously defined in the first edition. The analytical methods for the SF6 analysis have been removed as it has been found confusing to prescribe methods that can become obsolete very rapidly.

Concerns the re-use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) after removal from electrical equipment (for maintenance, or at the end of life). This standard recommends procedures for reclaiming used SF6 and for restoring its quality to an acceptable level, which would allow the filling of new or existing electrical equipment. This standard provides guidance to operational and maintenance personnel for the testing and safe handling of used SF6 . The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
- updating of standard as it relates to environmental issues, storage and analytical methods;
- addition of specification for the re-use of gas;
- inclusion of a regeneration process for sulfur hexafluoride taken from electrical equipment.

Covers specifications and test methods for unused mineral insulating oils. It applies to oil delivered to the agreed point and time of delivery, intended for use in transformers, switchgear and similar electrical equipment in which oil is required as an insulant and for heat transfer. These oils are obtained by distillation and refining of crude petroleum. Oils with and without additives are both within the scope of this standard. This standard is applicable only to unused mineral insulating oils. Reclaimed oils are beyond the scope of this standard. This standard does not apply to mineral oils used as impregnants in cables or capacitors. NOTE Mineral insulating oils complying with the requirements of this standard, of the same class and containing no additives (see 3.4), are considered to be compatible with one another and can be mixed in any proportion. This does not apply to oils containing additives. Where the user wishes to mix such oils, a check is recommended to be made to ensure that the mixture meets the requirements of this standard. Main changes with regard to previous edition include: the three classes of previous edition have been replaced by only two: transformer oil and low temperature switchgear oil, but a new concept, the lowest cold start energizing temperature, has been included; new properties have been added (i.e. charging tendency); values for properties have been revised.
