12、ion) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in a
13、ddition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations lia
14、ising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matte
15、rs express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested National Committees. 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
16、of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and region
17、al standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with
18、 one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare I
19、nternational Standards. In exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report of one of the following types: type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts; type 2, when t
20、he subject is still under technical development or where for any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard; type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an Internat
21、ional Standard, for example “state of the art”. Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they pr
22、ovide are considered to be no longer valid or useful. IEC61624, which is a technical report of type 2, has been prepared by subcommittee 15E: Methods of test, of IEC technical committee 15: Insulating materials. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Full information

Committee draft Report on voting 15E/4/CDV 15E/20A/RVCBSIEC 61624:1997 iv BSI 04-1999 This document is issued in the type 2 technical report series of publications (according to
24、 G.4.2.2 of Part 1 of the IEC/ISO Directives) as a “prospective standard for provisional application” in the field of polymeric compounds because there is an urgent requirement for guidance on how standards in this field should be used to meet an identified need. This document is not to be regarded
25、as an “International Standard”. It is proposed for provisional application so that information and experience of its use in practice may be gathered. Comments on the content of this document should be sent to the IEC Central Office. A review of this type 2 technical report will be carried out not la
26、ter than three years after its publication, with the options of either extension for a further three years or conversion to an International Standard or withdrawal. Annex A and Annex B are for information only.BSIEC 61624:1997 BSI 04-1999 1 1 Scope This technical report gives guidance to technical c
27、ommittees wishing to develop lists of maximum allowable temperatures for polymeric compounds under normal and abnormal operating conditions. It discusses and makes recommendations concerning: a) the factors which influence the choice of an appropriate method of describing polymeric compounds, bearin
28、g in mind the complex recipes of many compounds and the resulting wide ranging properties (see5.1); b) the factors which influence the selection of data for inclusion in lists of maximum allowable temperatures for polymeric compounds under normal operating conditions (see5.2 and5.3); c) lists for th
29、e maximum allowable temperatures for polymeric compounds under abnormal operating conditions (see clause6). In this report the term “temperature” is used, although it is realized that it is customary to use “temperature rise” for practical reasons. One may be converted into the other, given an appro
30、priate reference point, e.g.25C. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this technical report. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to re
31、vision, and parties to agreements based on this technical report are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.

40、he product is the result of thermally activated chemical reactions 4 General discussion 4.1 Background The plastics industry worldwide manufactures upwards of one million different polymeric compounds, many of which find use in electrotechnical equipment as moulded, cast or machined parts. The range
41、 and magnitude of temperature/time exposure over which these parts may be used are dependent upon the property levels that have to be retained for safe storage, handling and use. The properties of these types of materials change with time and temperature with the rate of change also being dependent
42、on temperature. The different properties may change at different rates. Frequently the mode of use and the local environmental conditions also lead to additional stresses which have an effect on the useful life of the materials/parts. A number of IEC committees have used normative lists of maximum a
43、llowable temperatures for parts made of insulating materials under normal operation for many years with apparent success and safety. However, these lists consisted of data for either products manufactured to other IEC standards which gave limiting conditions of use, or parts based on recognized and
44、proven insulation systems, for example motor windings, or insulating materials of the thermosetting type. Thermoplastic insulating materials were specifically excluded from these lists. Parts made from thermoplastic materials were required to be tested separately with requirements being based on act
45、ual temperatures that had been measured during normal and abnormal operation. The question has now to be asked whether these lists can be safely extended to include thermoplastic materials as well as a wider selection of thermosetting types. In order to attempt an answer to this question and give gu
46、idance, a first requirement is to recognize the major differences between thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers. Thermoplastics can be softened by the action of heat in a reversible manner (Figure 1) and can be more deleteriously affected by common everyday materials than thermosetting types. The
47、se, when once formed as cross-linked entities, cannot be melted and are resistant to exposure to many classes of chemicals and everyday environments. A natural consequence of this behaviour is that under conditions of unforeseen overheating or of unforeseen exposure to deleterious environmental mate
48、rials in an equipment, thermoplastic parts are likely to present much more of a hazard than parts made from thermosetting types. It is suspected that this factor is the main reason why specific temperatures for thermoplastic materials were excluded from the lists in IEC60335-1. Therefore, it is sugg
49、ested that a) the present lists should be extendible to include a wider range of thermosetting polymers, and b) a more detailed analysis of the difficulties surrounding the inclusion of thermoplastic types should be made. 4.2 Thermoplastics 4.2.1 Materials These materials are usually fabricated at elevated temperatures where the viscosity has fallen to a value appropriate to the shaping process. A wide range of additives including other polymers, may be added during that process to tailor the properties of the resulting produ
