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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

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 and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 62631-3-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 112:

Evaluation and qualification of electrical insulating materials and systems.

This edition of IEC 62631-3-4 cancels and replaces IEC 60345 “Method of test for electrical

resistance and resistivity of insulating materials at elevated temperatures”, published in 1971.

This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60345:

a) The revised standard becomes part of the series IEC 62631-3-x. Title of the standard is

changed and adapted to the series as Part 3-4.

b) Clauses 2 "Normative references", 3 "Terms and definitions", and 4 "Significance" are

added.
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST EN IEC 62631-3-4:2019
– 4 – IEC 62631-3-4:2019 © IEC 2019

c) Subclauses 5.2 "Power supply, Voltage", 5.3.1.2 "Number of test specimens" and 5.3.1.3

"Conditioning and pre-treatment of test specimens" are added.

d) In 5.3.5 "Special precautions during measurements", errors analysis in the measurement

of current are modified, and aligned with IEC 62631-3-1.

e) In 6.2 "Increasing the temperature by steps (method B)", the method for more than one

specimen is removed.

f) The standard atmospheric conditions for testing and conditioning, especially the

temperature, are replaced according to IEC 60212.

g) The circuit diagram of test apparatus is modified, and the structure diagram and pictures

of test apparatus are added in Annex A.
h) The orders of part clauses are adjusted.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
112/406/CDV 112/445/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in

the report on voting indicated in the above table.

This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

A list of all parts in the IEC 62631 series, published under the general title Dielectric and

resistive properties of solid insulating materials, can be found on the IEC website.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the

stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to

the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
