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 60317-0-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 55:
Winding wires.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997,
Amendment 1:1999 and Amendment 2:2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) addition of dimensional requirements for grade 1 enamelled wire in Table 4;
b) addition of dielectric breakdown requirements for grade 1 enamelled wire in Table 7.

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting
55/1550/FDIS 55/1565/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on

voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

A list of all the parts in the IEC 60317 series, published under the general title Specifications
for particular types of winding wires, can be found on the IEC website.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 60851 series. The clause numbers
used in this standard are identical with the respective test numbers of the IEC 60851 series.
In case of inconsistencies between IEC 60851 and this standard, the latter prevails.
The numbering of clauses in this standard is not continuous from Clauses 21 through 30 in
order to reserve space for possible future wire requirements prior to those for wire packaging.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website 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.

23 Pin hole test
Test inappropriate.
30 Packaging
The kind of packaging can influence certain properties of the wire, for example springback.

Therefore the kind of packaging, for example the type of spool, shall be agreed between

purchaser and supplier.
The wire shall be evenly and compactly wound on spools or placed in containers. In order to
reduce the risk of wire damage, the spool with the wire shall be delivered and used with its
axis in the horizontal position. No spool or container shall contain more than one length of
wire unless agreed between purchaser and supplier. Marking of the label when there is more
than one length and/or identification of the separate lengths in the package shall be agreed
between purchaser and supplier.
Labels shall be attached to each packaging unit as agreed between supplier and user and
shall include the following information:
a) manufacturer’s name and/or trade mark;
b) type of wire and insulation, for instance trade name and/or IEC specification number;
c) net mass of wire;
d) nominal dimension(s) of wire and grade of insulation;
e) date of manufacture.
