Guide to modern insulation testing Standards

8. Standards
Most electrical products - equipment, device, apparatus, component - are covered by
various general and product standards. Some standards are mentioned in previous text.
If standard contains safety provisions, these provisions usually consist of insulation
resistance measurement and withstanding test. For specific applications, the
measurement of insulation resistance is not enough and it has to be improved with
diagnostic test of insulation material to predict its quality and the possibility to be
replaced by a new one.
Standards define common test requirements and through this enable the tractability of
test results worldwide.
Standards are continuously under development based on new aspects, technical
possibilities, methods and materials. However, limit value normally remains the same or
tends to sharpen.

Standard Notice
IEC 60345 - Method of test for electrical resistance and resistivity of insulating
ED. 1.0 materials at elevated temperatures
Abstract
Covers procedures for the determination of insulation resistance and volume
resistivity of insulating materials at temperatures up to at least 800 °C.
IEC 61558-1 Safety of power transformers, power supply units and similar - Part 1:
General requirements and tests
Abstract
Deals with all aspects of safety (such as electrical, thermal and mechanical) of:
a) Stationary or portable, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled (natural
or forced) isolating and safety isolating transformers;
b) Stationary or portable, single-phase or polyphase, air-cooled (natural
or forced) separating transformers, auto-transformers, variable
transformers and small reactors.
IEC 61010-1 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control,
and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements
Abstract
Specifies general safety requirements for electrical equipment intended for
professional, industrial process, and educational use. It applies to 4 main
groups of equipment: (a) Electrical test and measurement equipment such as
signal generators, measurement standards, power supplies, transducers,
transmitters, etc. (b) Electrical control equipment to control specific values by
manual setting, programming or by input variables. (c) Electrical laboratory
equipment to measure, indicate, monitor or analyse substances, including in
vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment. (d) Accessories for use with the above (for
example, sample handling equipment).
