EN 60672-3 Ceramic and Glass Insulating Materials Part 3: Specifications for Individual Materials

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 60672-3 standard. This part of the EN 60672 standard can be applied to ceramic, glass-ceramic, glass-mica and glass materials for electrical insulation purposes. As a guide, it provides a classification of materials for general electrical insulation purposes and shows typical numerical values ​​for the characteristics associated with each subgroup or material type determined by the test methods defined in EN 60672-2.

These numerical values ​​are valid only for the specified test samples and test methods. They cannot be necessarily extended to test samples of other shapes and sizes and products or manufacturing methods.

Materials conforming to this specification meet established performance levels as evaluated on test specimens for properties suitable for the application of the material. However, the selection of a material by a user for a particular application should be based not only on this specification but also on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application.

This part of EN 60672 describes typical properties of electrically insulating ceramics for use as satisfactory insulating components. Certain items are specified with maximum or minimum values. These items can be used as a property specification that can be applied to test pieces.

When using this standard as a minimum specification, the user should appreciate that since test pieces and final components may not have equivalent properties as a result of manufacturing and geometric factors, the specification of the final product should and should be based on actual requirements.
