The product covered by this standard may have an impact on the environment during some or all stages of its life cycle. These impacts can range from slight
34、 to significant, be of short-term or long-term, and occur at the global, regional or local level. Except for a disposal statement in the instructions for use, this standard does not include requirements and test provisions for the manufacturers of the product, or recommendations to the users of the
35、product for environmental improvement. However, all parties intervening in its design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, use, maintenance, repair, reuse, recovery and disposal are invited to take account of environmental considerations.

43、nch “amorage”) is used when a disruptive discharge occurs in a gaseous or liquid dielectric. NOTE 2 The term “flashover” (in French “contournement”) is used when a disruptive discharge occurs at least partly along the surface of a solid dielectric surrounded by a gaseous or liquid medium. NOTE 3 The
44、 term “puncture” (in French “perforation”) is used when a disruptive discharge occurs through a solid dielectric producing permanent damage. IEV 651-01-18 and definition 2.7.7 of IEC 60743, modified 3.2 elastomer macromolecular material which returns rapidly to its initial dimensions and shape after
45、 substantial deformation by a weak stress and release of the stress NOTE 1 The definition applies under room temperature test conditions. NOTE 2 Elastomer is a generic term that includes rubber, latex and elastomeric compounds that may be natural or synthetic or a mixture or a combination of both. I
46、t also includes thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. ISO 472 modified 3.3 electrical insulating matting flexible sheeting made of elastomer, used to cover the surface on which the worker is standing (the potential of this surface is usually that of earth) NOTE The sheeting is either of various de
47、finite shapes or in roll allowing the workers to custom-cut the material to fit the application. Definition 5.2.3 of IEC 60743 and IEV 651-04-07, modified 3.4 nominal voltage (of a system) suitable approximate value of voltage used to designate or identify a system IEV 601-01-21 3.5 proof test volta
