This part of IEC 60216 specifies the experimental and calculation procedures for deriving the thermal endurance characteristics, temperature index (TI) and relative temperature index (RTI) of an electrical insulating material (EIM) using the "fixed time frame method (FTFM)".
In this protocol, the ageing takes place for a small number of fixed times, using the appropriate number of ageing temperatures throughout each time, the properties of the specimens being measured at the end of the relevant time interval. This differs from the procedure of IEC 60216-1, where ageing is conducted at a small number of fixed temperatures, property measurement taking place after ageing times dependent on the progress of ageing.
The diagnostic tests employed in the fixed time frame method are restricted to destructive tests. The method has not yet been applied to non-destructive or proof test procedures.
Both the TI and the RTI determined according to the FTFM protocol are derived from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 as modified in this part of IEC 60216. The calculation procedures and statistical tests are modified from those of IEC 60216-3 and IEC 60216-5.

This part of IEC 60216 specifies the experimental and calculation procedures to be used for
deriving the relative temperature index of a material from experimental data obtained in
accordance with the instructions of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2. The calculation procedures
are supplementary to those of IEC 60216-3.
Guidance is also given for assessment of thermal ageing after a single fixed time and
temperature, without extrapolation.
The experimental data can in principle be obtained using destructive, non-destructive or proof
tests, although destructive tests have been much more extensively employed. Data obtained
from non-destructive or proof tests can be “censored”, in that measurement of times taken to
reach the endpoint have been terminated at some point after the median time but before all
specimens have reached end-point (see IEC 60216-1).
Guidance is given for preliminary assignment of a thermal class for an electrical insulating
material (EIM), based upon the thermal ageing performance.
While the thermal classification of an EIM is not directly related to the thermal classification of
an electrical insulation system (EIS), the thermal classification of an EIS follows the same
concepts as presented in this part of the 60216 series. The calculation procedures of this
standard apply to the determination of the thermal class of an EIS when the thermal stress is
the prevailing ageing factor.

Stretchable substrates handled by this document apply to substrates subjected to repeated bending with wiring elements demanding a high level of performance, such as fabric integrated wearable devices or skin patchable devices.
This document does not define the required characteristics of the stretchable substrate. It provides test methods to characterize (pre-qualify) the substrates that are intended to be used for printing conductors and insulators for the purposes of manufacturing stretchable layers or structures.

This sheet of IEC 60674-3 gives the requirements for biaxially oriented polypropylene film
having a smooth or rough surface, corona treated when required for vacuum metallization. The
films are for use as dielectric in capacitors.
Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However,
the selection of a material by a user for a specific application is based on the actual
requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this
specification alone.
Safety warning: It is the responsibility of the user of the methods contained or referred to in this
document to ensure that they are used in a safe manner

IEC TR 62039:2021(E) presents the important material properties of polymeric materials used in outdoor insulation and, where applicable, lists standardized test methods including minimum requirements. If no standardized tests are available, the test methods reported in literature are summarized.
This document is valid for insulating materials having polymeric insulation, which are used in outdoor high voltage electrical applications with a system voltage greater than 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC (several tests are only defined for alternating current, which are not applicable for direct current). Such applications are relevant where the housing is an integral part of the device, for example in surge arresters and cable terminations. The scope of this document is limited to the insulation materials only and is not generally intended for coating materials (coating materials are, for example, thin layers applied on toughened glass and ceramic). Some tests mentioned in this document are applicable for coating and are under consideration by CIGRE. The performance of insulators in service depends on several factors such as the type of material, the design and environmental conditions. Consequently, the choice of materials that fulfil the requirements listed in Table 1 is a necessary condition but does not guarantee satisfactory performance when used in outdoor insulation.

This part of IEC 60455 gives the requirements for resins for power cable accessories that
conform to this specification and meet established levels of performance. However, the
selection of a material by a user for a specific application will be based on the actual
requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not on this
specification alone.
These materials are designed to be used in low and medium voltage cable accessories and as
such, electrical performance is proven as part of the assembly. Examples of this are described
in EN 50393 and IEC 60502-4.

This part of IEC 60216 specifies the calculation procedures used for deriving thermal
endurance characteristics from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions
of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 [1]1, using fixed ageing temperatures and variable ageing
times.
The experimental data can be obtained using non-destructive, destructive or proof tests. Data
obtained from non-destructive or proof tests can be incomplete, in that it is possible that
measurement of times taken to reach the end-point will have been terminated at some point
after the median time but before all specimens have reached end-point.
The procedures are illustrated by worked examples, and suitable computer programs are
recommended to facilitate the calculations.

This document gives specific requirements for halogen free polyolefin based sheathing compounds used for halogen free communication cables with improved characteristics in the case of fire.
Compounds, described by this document, are commonly also named HFFR or HFFR-LS (halogen free, flame/fire retardant, low smoke), see also EN 50290 2 20.
It is expected to be read in conjunction with EN 50290 2 20, the product standards EN 50288 series, EN 60794 series and other applicable product standards.
Improved characteristics in the case of fire are demonstrated by specific fire tests on cables for flame/fire retardant applications (e.g. single or bunched cable fire test). Additional tests to prove the characteristics in case of fire, e.g. such as smoke emission test, might also be part of the dedicated product standard or specification.
This document describes the compound types as given in Table 1.
