FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60893-3-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 15:
Solid electrical insulating materials.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2003 and constitutes
a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with
respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of new material types according to the third edition of IEC 60893-3-2 (in
preparation).

A list of all the parts in the IEC 60893 series, under the general title Insulating materials –
Industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes, can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60893 is one of a series which deals with industrial rigid laminated sheets
based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes.
The series consists of four parts:
– Part 1: Definitions, designations and general requirements (IEC 60893-1)
– Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60893-2)
– Part 3: Specifications for individual materials (IEC 60893-3)
– Part 4: Typical values (IEC 60893-4)
IEC 60893-3-1 contains one of the sheets comprising Part 3, as follows:
Sheet 1: Types of industrial rigid laminated sheets.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60893 provides requirements for various materials. Their properties are given
in subsequent Part 3 specification sheets.
Materials which conform to this specification 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 ad
