23 FOREWORD
24 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
25 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to p
26 2) romote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
27 fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical
28 Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred
29 to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National
30 Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International,
31 governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
32 IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
33 conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
34 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
35 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
36 interested IEC National Committees.
37 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
38 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
39 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
40 misinterpretation by any end user.
41 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
42 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
43 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
44 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
45 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
46 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
47 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
48 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
49 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
50 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
51 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
52 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
53 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
54 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
55 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
56 The International Standards of the IEC 61810 have been prepared by IEC technical committee
57 94: All-or-nothing electrical relays.

227 4 Clearances, creepage distances and solid insulation
228 4.1 General provisions
229 The requirements and tests indicated in this clause are based on IEC 60664-1.
230
231 NOTE 1 In case insulating media (solid, gaseous) are used which are not covered by this standard other clearance
232 and creepage distances may be applicable when verified for the entire lifetime of the relay.
233 a) If the construction or dedicated use of the relay allows, one or more of the following options
234 a) to c) may be applied for the determination of insulation capabilities of a relay:When all
235 the conditions of IEC 60664-5: 2007 are fulfilled, the dimensioning of clearances and
236 creepage distances for spacings up to 2 mm as given in that standard may be applied
237 instead.
238 NOTE 2 IEC 60664-5 applies in the case of printed wiring boards and similar constructions where the
239 clearances and creepage distances are identical and along the surface of solid insulation (see examples 1, 5
240 and 11 shown in Annex A). Smaller dimensioning than that based on IEC 60664-1 can be achieved dependent
241 on the water absorption characteristics of the solid insulating material. According to IEC 60664-5, the dimensions
242 for reinforced or double insulation can exceed 2 mm.
243 b) For constructions in accordance with IEC 60664-3, where protection against pollution is
244 achieved by using adequate bonding, coating, potting or moulding, the reduced clearances
245 and creepage distances as specified in IEC 60664-3 may be used. All the requirements and
246 tests of IEC 60664-3 shall be fulfilled. The following items apply when specified in the basic
247 safety standards:
248 – value for lower temperature under 5.7.1 of IEC 60664-3:2003, −10 °C;
249 – temperature cycle under 5.7.3 of IEC 60664-3:2003, Severity 1;
250 – the partial discharge test under 5.8.5 of IEC 60664-3:2003;
251 – none of the additional tests under 5.9 of IEC 60664-3:2003.
252 The temperature for preconditioning 5.7.2 of IEC 60664-3:2003 and upper temperature,
253 5.7.3 of IEC 60664-3:2003 shall be determined during a heating test on a single sample
254 under nominal conditions and maximum ambient temperature. The thermocouple has to be
255 placed next to interested area under consideration. In accordance with IEC 60079-15:2010,
256 22.5 the measured temperature shall be increased by 10 °C. It is permitted to reduce the
257 test duration of the dry heat test by using the following formula:
−0,0693×(𝑇𝑇−𝑇𝑇 )
2 1
258 Duration[ℎ] = 2685×10
259 where
260 T  is the chosen test temperature, under consideration of all material temperature limits

261 in the investigated area;
262 T  is the measured temperature + 10 °C.

263 NOTE 3 The functional, mechanical and electrical properties of the involved materials can be considered.
264 The provisions for solid insulation (see 13.3) remain unchanged.
265 NOTE 4 In Annex F, examples 5b, 6b, 7b, and 8b show the determination of clearance and creepage distances
266 in this case.
267 c) In the case of relays to be used for frequencies of the working voltage above 30 kHz, it is
268 strongly recommended to apply the provisions for insulation coordination as given in
269 IEC 60664-4.
270 Clearances and creepage distances
271 Clearances and creepage distances shall be dimensioned according to the criteria given in
272 Table 1.

Clearances for reinforced insulation shall be dimensioned using one of the values for the rated impulse voltage
taken from Table 2 by the manufacturer, if necessary taking into account the overvoltage category as given in
Annex B and the pollution degree according to Annex C, but one step higher in the preferred series of values
given in Table 2 than that specified for basic insulation. If the impulse withstand voltage required for basic
insulation is other than a value from the preferred series, reinforced insulation shall be dimensioned to withstand
160 % of the impulse withstand voltage required for basic insulation.
b
In case of relays provided with double insulation, where basic and supplementary insulation cannot be
tested separately, the insulation system is considered as reinforced insulation.
c
In case of a foreseeable single failure condition – e.g. broken wire or loosened coil windings- the
requirements for basic insulation shall remain fulfilled by design.
d
The requirements for micro-disconnection also include those for micro-interruption.
e
At least basic insulation shall be given between terminals of opposite polarity (all possibilities):
- between uninsulated live parts and the relay housing with the contacts open and closed;
- between terminals of opposite polarity with the contacts closed;

This voltage is
– for basic insulation directly exposed to or significantly influenced by transient overvoltages from the low-
voltage mains: the rated impulse voltage of the equipment;
– for other basic insulation: the highest impulse voltage that can occur in the circuit;
– for reinforced insulation, see notes a and b of Table 1.
In special cases (particularly for existing designs) intermediate values derived by interpolation may be used for
the dimensioning of clearances.
b
 Preferred values for relating to the overvoltage category (see Annex B).
c
 For printed wiring material, the values for pollution degree 1 apply except that the value shall not be less than
0,04 mm, as specified in Table 4.
d
 As the dimensions in Table 2 are valid for altitudes up to and including 2 000 m above sea level, clearances for
altitudes above 2 000 m are to be multiplied by the altitude correction factor specified in Table A.2 of IEC 60664-
1:2007.
e
 Details regarding pollution degrees are specified in Annex C.
280 When an overvoltage control component is used (e.g. surge suppressor), clearances may be
281 defined in accordance with Table 3.

284 The relationship between the material group and the proof tracking index (PTI) is given in Table
285 4.
286 Table 4 – Material groups
Material group I 600 ≤ PTI
Material group II
400 ≤ PTI < 600
Material group IIIa 175 ≤ PTI < 400
Material group IIIb (for existing designs only) 100 ≤ PTI < 175
