IEC 60454-3-4:2007

Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for electrical purposes - Part 3: Specifications for individual materials - Sheet 4: Cellulose paper, creped and non-creped, with rubber thermosetting adhesive

IEC 60454-3-4:2007 contains the requirements for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes made with cellulose paper, creped and non-creped, with rubber thermosetting adhesive. 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. This third edition of IEC 60454-3-4 replaces the second edition, published in 1998, as well as IEC 60454-3-5, published in 1998. It constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with regard to the second edition is the consolidation of this part with IEC 60454-3-5. All requirements were confirmed. IEC 60454-3-5 is to be withdrawn at the time of this publication. Keywords: pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes made with cellulose paper, creped and non-creped, with rubber thermosetting adhesive

Rubans adhésifs sensibles à la pression à usages électriques - Partie 3: Spécifications pour matériaux particuliers - Feuille 4: Papier cellulosique crêpé et non crêpé, avec un adhésif en caoutchouc thermodurcissable

L'IEC 60454-3-4:2007 contient les exigences relatives aux rubans adhésifs sensibles à la pression faits de papier cellulosique crêpé et non crêpé, avec un adhésif en caoutchouc thermodurcissable. Les matériaux qui sont conformes à cette spécification satisfont à des niveaux de performances établis. Cependant, il convient que le choix d'un matériau par un utilisateur et pour une application particulière soit fondé sur les exigences réelles nécessaires pour obtenir les performances satisfaisantes pour cette application, et non pas fondé sur cette seule spécification. Cette troisième édition de la CEI 60454-3-4 remplace la deuxième édition, parue en 1998, ainsi que la CEI 60454-3-5, parue en 1998. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications par rapport à la deuxième édition sont la consolidation de cette partie avec la CEI 60454-3-5. Toutes les exigences ont été confirmées. La CEI 60454-3-5 doit être supprimée au moment de cette publication.

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 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.
