Overview
This part of IEC 60455-3-8 is one of a series of standards which deals with requirements for reactive resin compounds and their components for electrical insulation. The series consist of three parts: Part 1: Definitions and general requirements (IEC 60455-1); Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60455-2); Part 3: Specifications for individual materials (IEC 60455-3). This standard consists of the following sheet of Part 3: Sheet 8: Resins for cable accessories. This sheet 8 of IEC 60455-3 specifies requirements for resins for power cable accessories which conform to this specification and meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not on this specification alone. The responsible body is DKE/K 181 "Feste elektrische Isolierstoffe" ("Solid electrical insulating materials") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
