IEC 62631-3-12:2024 specifies a method of test for the determination of volume resistance and volume resistivity of electrical insulation materials by applying a DC voltage. It covers casting resins described in IEC 60455-3-1, IEC 60455-3-2, IEC 60455-3-3, IEC 60455-3-4, IEC 60455-3-8 and similar products.
For other specific types of materials, other standards or the general method described in IEC 62631-3-1 can be more suitable.

This document covers the construction, requirements and particular test methods for flat, flexible PVC or halogen-free insulated and sheathed cables, of rated voltage Uo/U 300/500 V and above 1 mm2, Uo/U 450/750 V for use in passenger and goods lifts (elevators), and Uo/U 450/750 V for general purposes and for special applications such as hoists and travelling cranes. NOTE 1 This revision is in accordance with an agreement with CEN TC 10 to specify in the same standard a) flexible cables for lifts as required by EN 81-series, and b) flexible cable for applications such as hoists and travelling cranes, previously found in HD 359. In accordance with this agreement, only those cables in Clauses 5 and 6 are suitable for use with EN 81-series. NOTE 2 The limits for the overall diameter of the cables have been calculated in accordance with EN 60719.

IEC 62631-2-3:2024 specifies the measuring technology and the test method for the relative permittivity and dielectric dissipation factor of thin single layer insulating polymer film without any additional metallization on the sample surface. The adaptive thickness range is approximately 10 μm to 100 μm. The proposed frequency is the power frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz), and it is also suitable in the technical frequency range from 1 Hz to 1 MHz.

This part of IEC 60684 gives the requirements for non-heat-shrinkable sleeving, extruded from
compounds based on polychloroprene elastomer. This sleeving has been found suitable for
temperatures up to 95 °C.
Sleeving of this type is normally available with internal diameters up to 25 mm, and in the
following opaque colours: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, grey, white and
pink. Sizes or colours other than those specifically listed in this document can possibly be
available as custom items. These items are considered to comply with this document if they
comply with the other property requirements listed in Table 2.
Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However,
the selection of a material by a user for a specific application will be based on the actual
requirements necessary for adequate performance in the application and not based on the
specification alone.

IEC TS 61934:2024 is available as IEC TS 61934:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC TS 61934:2024 is applicable to the off-line electrical measurement of partial discharges (PDs) that occur in electrical insulation systems (EISs) when stressed by repetitive voltage impulses generated from power electronics devices.
Typical applications are EISs belonging to apparatus driven by power electronics, such as motors, inductive reactors, wind turbine generators and the power electronics modules themselves.
NOTE Use of this document with specific products can require the application of additional procedures.
Excluded from the scope of this document are:
- methods based on optical or ultrasonic PD detection,
- fields of application for PD measurements when stressed by non-repetitive impulse voltages such as lightning impulse or switching impulses from switchgear.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) background information on the progress being made in the field of power electronics including the introduction of wide band gap semiconductor devices has been added to the Introduction;
b) voltage impulse generators; the parameter values of the voltage impulse waveform have been modified to reflect application of wide band gap semiconductor devices.
c) PD detection methods; charge-based measurements are not described in this third edition nor are source-controlled gating techniques to suppress external noise.
d) Since the previous edition in 2011, there have been significant technical advances in this field as evidenced by several hundreds of publications. Consequently, the Bibliography in the 2011 edition has been deleted in this third edition.

This document specifies performance requirements for type tests for transition joints for use between extruded
insulated power cables as specified in HD 620 and impregnated paper insulated power cables as specified in
HD 621 or another relevant standard.
Once type test for an accessory is successfully completed, it is not necessary to repeat the test, unless
changes are made in the materials, design or manufacturing process, which might affect the performance
characteristics.
Possible extra thermo-mechanical forces due to high current loads from renewable sources of power
generation are not covered by these tests (under consideration).
Accessories for special applications such as submarine cables, ships cables or hazardous situations (explosive
environments, fire resistant cables or seismic conditions) are not included.
Test methods are included in EN IEC 61442:— and Annex E.
NOTE 1 This document does not invalidate existing approvals of products achieved on the basis of national standards
and specifications and/or the demonstration of satisfactory service performance. However, products approved according
to such national standards or specifications cannot directly claim approval to this document.
NOTE 2 It might be possible, subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser, and/or the relevant conformity
assessment body, to demonstrate that conformity to the earlier standard can be used to claim conformity to this document,
provided an assessment is made of any additional type testing that might need to be carried out. Any such additional
testing that is part of a sequence of testing cannot be done separately.
