Mineral insulating oils in electrical equipment - Supervision and maintenance guidance
This International Standard gives guidance on the supervision and maintenance of the quality of the insulating oil in electrical equipment. This standard is applicable to mineral insulating oils, originally supplied conforming to IEC 60296, in transformers, switchgear and other electrical apparatus where oil sampling is reasonably practicable and where the normal operating conditions specified in the equipment specifications apply. This standard is also intended to assist the power equipment operator to evaluate the condition of the oil and maintain it in a serviceable condition. It also provides a common basis for the preparation of more specific and complete local codes of practice. The standard includes recommendations on tests and evaluation procedures and outlines methods for reconditioning and reclaiming oil and the decontamination of oil contaminated with PCBs. NOTE The condition monitoring of electrical equipment, for example by analysis of dissolved gases, furanic compounds or other means, is outside the scope of this standard.

Huiles minérales isolantes dans les matériels électriques - Lignes directrices pour la maintenance et la surveillance
La CEI 60422:2013 donne les lignes directrices pour la surveillance et la maintenance de la qualité des huiles isolantes dans les appareils électriques. La présente norme est applicable aux huiles minérales isolantes, satisfaisant à l'origine aux exigences de la CEI 60296, et présentes dans les transformateurs, appareillages de connexion et appareils électriques similaires, pour lesquels la prise d'échantillons d'huile est possible, et auxquels les conditions normales d exploitation prévues dans les spécifications du matériel sont appliquées. Cette norme est également destinée à aider le personnel d'exploitation à évaluer l'état de l'huile des matériels et à la maintenir en état d'être utilisée. Elle fournit également une base commune à l'élaboration de codes de pratique locaux plus complets et plus spécifiques. La norme inclut des recommandations sur les essais et les procédures d'évaluation, et indique des procédés de retraitement et de régénération de l'huile, et de décontamination de l'huile contaminée par les PCB. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition, publiée en 2005, et constitue une révision technique. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - Cette nouvelle édition représente une révision importante de la troisième édition, qui a pour objet d'aligner la présente norme sur les derniers développements de la surveillance de l'état de l'huile, contenant de nouvelles limites pour les paramètres relatifs aux huiles, les actions correctives suggérées dans les tableaux et de nouvelles méthodes d'essais. - Les limites d'action pour tous les essais effectués sur les huiles ont été mises à jour et des changements ont été faits lorsque c'était nécessaire pour permettre à des utilisateurs d'employer la méthodologie courante et de se conformer aux exigences et aux règlements affectant la sécurité et les aspects environnementaux. - Cette norme incorpore, également, les modifications introduites dans les normes associées depuis que la troisième édition a été publiée.
Mineralna izolacijska olja v električni opremi - Napotki za nadzorovanje in vzdrževanje
Ta mednarodni standard podaja napotke za nadzorovanje in vzdrževanje kakovosti izolacijskih olj v električni opremi. Ta standard se uporablja za mineralna izolacijska olja, originalno dobavljena v skladu s standardom IEC 60296, v transformatorjih, stikalnih napravah in drugih električnih napravah, kjer je vzorčenje olj smiselno in kjer veljajo običajni pogoji delovanja, ki so navedeni v specifikaciji opreme. Cilj tega standarda je tudi, da upravljavcu z električno opremo omogoča, da oceni stanje olja in ga vzdržuje v uporabnem stanju. Podaja tudi skupno osnovo za pripravo bolj specifičnih in popolnih lokalnih kodeksov ravnanja. Ta standard vključuje priporočila o postopkih preskušanja in ocenjevanja ter podaja metode za obnavljanje in ponovno uporabo olj. Podaja tudi metode za dekontaminacijo olj, ki so onesnažena s polikloriranimi bifenili. OPOMBA Nadzor stanja električne opreme (npr. z analizo raztopljenih plinov, furanskih spojin ali z drugimi sredstvi) ne spada v področje uporabe tega standarda.

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.

INTRODUCTION
Insulating mineral oils are used in electrical equipment employed in the generation,
transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy, so that the amount of oil in service,
worldwide, amounts to hundreds of millions of kilograms.
Monitoring and maintaining oil quality is essential to ensure the reliable operation of oil-filled
electrical equipment. Codes of practice for this purpose have been established by electrical
power authorities, power companies and industries in many countries.
A review of current experience reveals a wide variation of procedures and criteria. It is
possible, however, to compare the value and significance of standardized oil tests and to
recommend uniform criteria for the evaluation of test data.
If a certain amount of oil deterioration (by degradation or contamination) is exceeded, there is
inevitably some erosion of safety margins and the question of the risk of premature failure
should be considered. While the quantification of the risk can be very difficult, a first step
involves the identification of potential effects of increased deterioration. The philosophy
underlying this standard is to furnish users with as broad a base of understanding of oil
quality deterioration as is available, so that they can make informed decisions on inspection
and maintenance practices.
Unused mineral oils are limited resources and should be handled with this in mind. Used
mineral oils are, by most regulations, deemed to be controlled waste. If spills occur this may
have a negative environmental impact especially if the oil is contaminated by persistent
organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
This International Standard, whilst technically sound, is mainly intended to serve as a
common basis for the preparation of more specific and complete codes of practice by users in
the light of local circumstances. Sound engineering judgement will have to be exerted in
seeking the best compromise between technical requirements and economic factors.
Reference should also be made to instructions from the equipment manufacturer.
General caution
This International Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate health
and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
The mineral oils and oil additives which are the subject of this standard should be handled
with due regard to personal hygiene. Direct contact with the eyes may cause slight irritation.
In the case of eye contact, irrigation with copious quantities of clean running water should be
carried out and medical advice sought. For more information, refer to the safety data sheet
provided by the manufacturer. Some of the tests specified in this standard involve the use of
processes that could lead to a hazardous situation. Attention is drawn to the relevant standard
for guidance.
Environment
This standard is applicable to mineral oils, chemicals and used sample containers.
Attention is drawn to the fact that, at the time of writing this standard, some mineral oils in
service are known to be contaminated to some degree by PCBs.

SIST EN 60422:2013
60422 IEC:2013 – 7 –
Because of this, safety countermeasures should be taken to avoid risks to workers, the public
and the environment during the life of the equipment, by strictly controlling spills and
emissions. Disposal or decontamination of these oils should be carried out strictly according
to local regulations. Every precaution should be taken to prevent release of mineral oil into
the environment.
