What is BS EN 60626-1 – Combined flexible materials for electrical insulation about?
BS EN 60626-1 is the European standard on solid insulating materials. BS EN 60626-1 is the first part of a multi-series that contains the definitions related and the general requirements to be fulfilled by combined flexible materials for electrical insulation.
Materials that conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.
Who is BS EN 60626-1 - Combined flexible materials for electrical insulation for?
BS EN 60626-1 on combined flexible materials for electrical insulation is relevant to:
- Electrical equipment manufacturer
- Insulation material manufacturer
- Flexible materials manufacturer
- Mechanical industry
- Electrical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 60626-1 - Combined flexible materials for electrical insulation?
An electrically insulating material is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. Particular types of combined flexible insulating materials may be designated by using the relevant combinations of code letters for the form and nature of the main components, separated by a hyphen.
BS EN 60626-1 provides terms, designation, description of commonly used flexible materials, general requirements, dimensions, joins, and conditions of supply these features ensure the performance of combined flexible materials for electrical insulation.
By adopting BS EN 60626-1 the user can increase the efficacy of flexible materials and enhance the product’s standard and quality.
