IEC 60893-1 Standard Test for Insulating Materials, Industrial Rigid Laminated Boards Based on Thermosetting Resins for Electrical Purposes

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60893-1 standard. This includes the definitions for industrial rigid laminate sheets for electrical purposes made with any of the following resins as the binder, and the general requirements that must be met:

• Epoxy (epoxide),
• Melamine,
• phenolic,
• polyimide,
• Silicone and unsaturated polyester.

Some supplements can be used alone or in combination, these are; cellulosic paper, cotton fabric, glass fabric, glass roving, glass mat, polyester fabric and wood coatings. Materials conforming to this specification meet specified performance levels.

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.

The main changes in the previous edition of IEC 60893-1 are:

• New material types are included;
• Changes have been made to the ownership requirements of some existing species;
• Added a new method to test permeability and diffusion factor;
• All non-specification data for each type has been moved to the new 60893th part of IEC 4.
