This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2008-10-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,

Foreword
The text of document 36A/134/FDIS, future edition 6 of IEC 60137, prepared by SC 36A, Insulated
bushings, of IEC TC 36, Insulators, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved
by CENELEC as EN 60137 on 2008-10-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60137:2003.
– long duration power-frequency voltage for transformer bushings;
– special requirements for type and acceptance tests applicable to transformer and GIS bushings;
– specific insulation levels for bushings fitted to transformers and GIS;
– according to IEC Guide 111, clauses relating to safety and the environment have been added;
– the altitude correction procedure has been revised ( > 1 000 m).
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-07-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2011-10-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
