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.
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 61788-10 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 90:
Superconductivity.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. It constitutes a
technical revision. Modifications made to the second edition mostly increase covered
composite superconductors in this standard, i.e. Cu/Nb Al and metal-sheathed MgB
3 2
composite superconductors and Yttrium- or rare-earth-based coated conductors are added.
Furthermore, examples of technical change made are the base plate dimension and definition
of the bending strain.

INTRODUCTION
In addition to critical current and critical field, critical temperature is an important, basic
property of materials that exhibit superconductivity. Also, critical temperature is practically
important in applications of superconductors, since the higher the critical temperature is, the
larger is temperature margin and the lower the cooling power consumption. Thus,
standardization of the measurement method of critical temperature is quite beneficial to
conductor users and is urgently required.
There are a lot of test methods to measure the critical temperature of superconductors,
including the resistance method, d.c. susceptibility methods using a SQUID magnetometer
and VSM (vibrating-sample magnetometer), a.c. susceptibility methods, specific heat
methods etc.
Test methods, other than the resistance method, may generally be more sensitive and
informative compared to the resistance method and may be more appropriate for non-
homogeneous materials or for thick films, thin films, bulks and powders, for which the
resistance method is difficult to apply.
In this International Standard, however, the resistance measurement method is employed.
This is because the resistance method is simpler and more reliable and can be applied to
most of the composite superconductors in industrial use.
The outline of this standard was basically prepared by the Japan Fine Ceramics Association,
a member institution of VAMAS (Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards),
TWA16 (Superconducting materials). The extensive revisions of the outline were primarily
made by the New Materials Center supervised by the Japan National Committee and VAMAS.
