EN 60465:1990 - Specification for unused insulating mineral oils for cables with oil ducts

Overview

EN 60465:1990 (CLC) is a European specification for unused insulating mineral oils intended for use in cables with oil ducts. The standard covers the requirements and test methods applicable to oils as delivered, for use in oil-filled cable constructions such as hollow-core cables, pipe-type cables and any cable design that permits oil circulation. EN 60465 is identical to IEC 60465:1988 and is referenced in national adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 60465:2002).

Key topics

The standard focuses on the specification and verification of mineral insulating oils used in cable systems. Core topics include:

  • Scope and intended use - oils for cables with oil ducts and circulating oil designs.
  • Specification requirements - minimum quality and performance criteria for oils as delivered (chemical and physical characteristics, purity and acceptability for cable systems).
  • Test methods - procedures for verifying that delivered oils meet the specification.
  • Delivery and documentation - requirements for marking, certificates and supplier information to ensure traceability and conformity.

Note: EN 60465 defines these general categories of requirements and test methods rather than prescribing system-level design rules for oil-filled cables.

Applications

EN 60465 is primarily used for:

  • Quality control of unused insulating mineral oils at point of delivery.
  • Procurement specifications for utilities and cable manufacturers ordering oil for oil-filled or oil-circulated cable systems.
  • Type approval and acceptance testing performed by testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies.
  • Ensuring compatibility of insulating oil with cable materials and operational practices where oil flow is part of the cable design.

Typical users include cable and cable accessory manufacturers, electricity transmission and distribution utilities, procurement teams, testing laboratories, and standards/quality engineers who specify or verify insulating oils for oil-filled cable installations.

Related standards

  • IEC 60465:1988 - the international counterpart; EN 60465 is identical to this IEC publication.
  • National adoptions such as SIST EN 60465:2002 reflect the same technical content for local use.
