High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 4: Handling procedures for sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and its mixtures
IEC 62271-4:2013 applies to the procedures for handling of SF6 during installation, commissioning, normal and abnormal operations, disposal at the end of life of high voltage switchgear and controlgear. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC/TR 62271-303 published in 2008. This first edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the description of the potential effects on health of SF6 by products (former Annex D of IEC/TR 62271-303:2008) has been replaced by the calculation methods for evaluating of the potential effects on health of SF6 by products (see Annex H); b) information about cryogenic reclaim of SF6. Have been added (see Annex I); c) handling procedures for the most popular SF6 mixtures have been added (see Annex J).

Appareillage à haute tension - Partie 4: Utilisation et manipulation de l'hexafluorure de soufre (SF6) et des mélanges contenant du SF6
La CEI 62271-4:2013 s'applique aux procédures de manipulation du SF6 lors de l'installation, de la mise en service, du fonctionnement normal ou anormal, et de l'élimination en fin de vie de l'appareillage à haute tension. Cette première édition annule et remplace la première édition de la CEI/TR 62271-303 parue en 2008. Cette première édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) remplacement de la description des effets potentiels sur la santé des produits de décomposition du SF6 (anciennement Annexe D de la CEI/TR 62271-303:2008) par les méthodes de calcul pour évaluer les effets potentiels sur la santé des produits de décomposition du SF6 (voir Annexe H); b) ajout d'informations concernant la régénération cryogénique du SF6 (voir Annexe I); c) ajout de procédures de manipulation pour les mélanges contenant du SF6 les plus courants (voir Annexe J).
Visokonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 4. del: Ravnanje z žveplovim heksafluoridom (SF6) (IEC 62271-4:2013)
Ta del standarda IEC 62271 se uporablja za postopke za ravnanje z žveplovim heksafluoridom (SF6) med vgrajevanjem, zagonom, normalnim in nenormalnim delovanjem, odstranitvijo po koncu življenjske dobe visokonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav. Ti postopki se obravnavajo kot minimalne zahteve za zagotavljanje varnosti osebja, ki dela s SF6, in čim večjo omejitev emisij SF6 v okolje. Ta standard se na splošno uporablja tudi za plinske zmesi, ki vsebujejo SF6. Posebnosti, ki veljajo za ravnanje z njimi, so obravnavane v dodatku J.
