What is BS EN 60371-1- Insulating materials based on mica about?   
BS EN 60371 discusses specification for insulating materials based on mica. BS EN 60371-1 is the first part of BS EN 60371 multi-series and discusses definitions and general requirements.  
BS EN 60371-1 is a part of IEC 60371 gives definitions of terms used to describe built-up mica materials, products based on them and mica paper. It also deals with general requirements and conditions of supply.
BS EN 60371-1 outlines about specification for insulating materials based on mica definitions and general requirements, methods of test and specifications for individual materials.
Who is BS EN 60371-1- Insulating materials based on mica for?  
BS EN 60371-1 on insulating materials based on mica is useful for:  
- Insulating materials manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
 Why should you use BS EN 60371-1- Insulating materials based on mica?   
Mica is a good electrical insulator at the same time as it is a good thermal conductor.
The leading use of block mica is as an electrical insulator in electronic equipment. It offers high thermal stability as it is non-flammable, and its low thermal conductivity makes it an excellent thermal insulator.
Using BS EN 60371-1 you will be able to facilitate clear communication across the insulating materials industry that, in turn, facilitates innovations. BS EN 60371-1 enables customers to have access to the innovative product a result of this.
What’s changed since the last update?
