IEC EN 60544-3 Test for Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Insulating Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60544-3 testing. IEC EN 60544-3 is a standard that provides guidance on the determination of the effects of ionizing radiation on insulating materials. Part 3 of the standard outlines test procedures for measuring the residual effects of ionizing radiation on insulating materials.

The standard covers the following test procedures:

• Measuring Electrical Properties: This test determines changes in electrical properties of insulating material such as dielectric strength, insulation resistance and capacitance after exposure to ionizing radiation.
• Measurement of Physical Properties: This test determines the changes in the physical properties of the insulation material such as tensile strength, elongation and hardness after exposure to ionizing radiation.
• Measurement of Thermal Properties: This test determines the changes in the thermal properties of the insulation material, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat, after exposure to ionizing radiation.
• Measurement of Chemical Properties: This test determines the changes in the chemical properties of the insulation material, such as molecular weight and chemical structure, after exposure to ionizing radiation.

The standard also provides guidelines for test conditions such as the radiation source, dose rate, and total dose that should be used during the test process. In addition, it provides recommendations for reporting test results.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized approach for determining the effects of ionizing radiation on insulating materials, which is important to industries where such materials are commonly used, such as nuclear power, aerospace, and medical devices.
