IEC 60317-36:2013 specifies the requirements of solderable enamelled round copper winding wire of class 180 with a dual coating. The underlying coating is based on polyesterimide resin, which may be modified providing it retains the chemical identity of the original resin and meets all specified wire requirements. The superimposed coating is a bonding layer based on a thermoplastic resin. NOTE - A modified resin is a resin that has undergone a chemical change, or contains one or more additives to enhance certain performance or application characteristics. The range of nominal conductor diameters covered by this part is:
- Grade 1B: 0,020 mm up to and including 1,600 mm;

IEC 60317-68:2017 specifies the requirements of enamelled rectangular aluminium winding wire of class 120 with a sole coating based on polyvinyl acetal resin, which may be modified providing it retains the chemical identity of the original resin and meets all specified wire requirements. The range of nominal conductor dimensions covered by this standard is      Minimum Maximum   Width 2,0 mm 16,0 mm   Thickness 0,80 mm 5,60 mm      Wires of grade 1 and grade 2 are included in this part of IEC 60317 and apply to the complete range of conductors. The specified combinations of width and thickness as well as the specific ratio width/thickness are given in IEC 60317-0-9:2015.

IEC 60851-2:2009 specifies the following method of test: Test 4: Dimensions. For definitions, general notes on methods of test and the complete series of methods of test for winding wires, see IEC 60851-1. Technical revisions of note include recognition of the use of optical micrometers in determining the dimensions of round and rectangular enamelled wire.

IEC 60317-0-7:2017 establishes general requirements for fully insulated (FIW) zero-defect enamelled round copper wires. The nominal conductor diameter range is given in the relevant technical specification. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- reduction in the number of grades of FIW from 3 through 9 to 4, 6 and 8 only;
- reduction of the wire diameter range from (0,040 to 1,000) mm to (0,090 to 0,900) mm for several requirements;
- revision of Clause 5 to delete the Table 2 resistance requirements;
- revision of Clause 13 to clarify that breakdown is determined when a calculated minimum test voltage is reached, which can be less than 10 000 V;
- expansion of Annex A to include requirements for FIW 3, 5, 7 and 9 and for all grades, wire diameters below 0,090 mm and above 0,900 mm.

IEC 60317-56:2017 specifies the requirements of solderable fully insulated (FIW) zero-defect enamelled round copper wire, class 180, with a single coating based on polyurethane resin, which may be modified providing it retains its chemical identity and satisfies all the required technical specifications. The range of nominal conductor diameters of the wires covered by this standard is as follows: Grade of FIW 4, 6, 8: 0,090 mm up to and including 0,900 mm. Nominal conductor diameters are specified in IEC 60317-0-7. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Clause 1: revision of the scope, reducing the number of grades of FIW from 3 through 9 to 4, 6 and 8 only;
- Clause 1: revision of the scope, reducing the wire diameter range from (0,040 to 1,600) mm to (0,090 to 0,900) mm;
- addition of an informative annex for abrasion resistance requirements for grades FIW 3 to 9.

IEC 60317-72:2017 specifies requirements of polyester glass-fibre wound fused, silicone resin or varnish impregnated bare, grade 1 or grade 2 enamelled round copper winding wire, temperature index 200. The impregnating agent is a silicone containing resin or varnish. NOTE - For this type of wire, the heat shock test is inappropriate and therefore a heat shock temperature cannot be established. Consequently, a class based on the requirements for temperature index and heat shock temperature cannot be specified.
