EN 60893-1:2004

Insulating materials - Industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes - Part 1: Definitions, designations and general requirements

Contains the definitions related to, and the general requirements to be fulfilled by, industrial rigid laminated sheets for electrical purposes, made with any of the following resins as the binder: epoxy (epoxide), melamine, phenolic, polyimide, silicone and unsaturated polyester. The following reinforcements may be used either singly or in combination; cellulosic paper, cotton cloth, glass cloth, glass roving, glass mat, polyester cloth and wood veneers. 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. The major changes from the previous edition of EN 60893-1 are the following: a) new material types have been included; b) changes have been made to the property requirements of some existing types; c) a new method for testing permittivity and dissipation factor has been added; d) all non-specification data for each type has been moved to a new Part 4 of EN 60893.

Matériaux isolants - Stratifiés industriels rigides en planches à base de résines thermodurcissables à usages électriques - Partie 1: Définitions, désignations et exigences générales

Contient les définitions apparentées et les exigences générales à respecter pour les planches de stratifiés industriels à usages électriques fabriqués avec l'une des résines suivantes comme liant: résine époxyde, mélamine, phénolique, polyimide, silicone et polyester insaturé. Les matériaux de renfort suivants peuvent être utilisés, seuls ou combinés: papier de cellulose, tissu de coton, tissu de verre, stratifil (roving) de verre, mat de verre, tissu de polyester et placages de bois. Les matériaux conformes à la présente spécification satisfont aux niveaux de performances établis. Cependant, il convient que le choix d'un matériau, par un utilisateur, pour une application spécifique, soit fondé sur les prescriptions réelles nécessaires pour obtenir les performances satisfaisantes pour cette application, et qu'il ne soit pas fondé sur cette seule spécification. Les modifications majeures effectuées par rapport à l'édition précédente de la EN 60893-1 sont les suivantes: a) de nouveaux types de matériaux ont été introduits; b) des modifications ont été faites aux prescriptions pour les propriétés de certains types existants; c) une nouvelle méthode pour l'essai de la permittivité et du facteur de dissipation a été ajoutée; d) pour chaque type, les valeurs n'étant pas des spécifications ont été déplacées dans la nouvelle Partie 4 de la EN 60893.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees
