SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 is the Slovenian edition of a European Standard from SIST for industrial, rigid, moulded, laminated tubes and rods of rectangular and hexagonal cross-section based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes. It specifies material grades, designation rules, dimensions and performance requirements for tubes and rods used in electrical applications.
What does SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 specify?
SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 specifies the requirements for industrial, rigid, moulded, laminated tubes and rods of rectangular and hexagonal cross-section based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes. It also gives the typical applications and distinguishing properties for the listed material types.
The document is organized around four main clauses and one normative annex:
- Clause 1 - Scope
- Clause 2 - Normative references
- Clause 3 - Designation
- Clause 4 - Requirements
- Annex ZA - Normative references to international publications with corresponding European publications
Table 1 gives the material types and their typical applications. Clauses 3 and 4, together with Tables 2 to 8, provide the practical specification data used to identify, test and accept the products.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004?
SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 sets both identification rules and material requirements. In practice, it tells suppliers what to call a product and tells buyers and laboratories what to check before acceptance.
Designation identifies the exact form and grade
Clause 3 requires the designation method from IEC 62011-1. The code combines the standard reference, resin abbreviation, reinforcement abbreviation, serial number, relevant dimensions, length and a finish letter.
For a user, this matters because the designation is the ordering and traceability code. It distinguishes a rectangular tube, rectangular rod or hexagonal rod, and it fixes the size format used in purchasing and records.
Table 1 links grades to typical use
Table 1 groups the materials by resin and reinforcement, using serial numbers such as PF CC, PF CP, PF GC, EP CC and EP GC. It also gives the applications and distinguishing properties, such as mechanical and electrical applications, good machining characteristics, good track resistance, or good electrical properties under normal relative humidity.
For a reader, this is the first place to compare grades and choose a material family that fits the intended service.
Dimensional tolerances are specified by product form
Clause 4 requires compliance with the dimensional tables. Table 2 covers external dimensions of rectangular moulded tubes and rods, Table 3 covers internal dimensions of rectangular moulded tubes, Table 4 covers wall thickness of rectangular moulded tubes, and Table 5 covers the distance between opposing faces of hexagonal moulded rods.
This matters because the material must fit its assembly, machining and insulation function. The document fixes the allowed size variation rather than leaving it to supplier practice.
Mechanical, electrical and water-related properties are controlled
Tables 6 and 7 specify the main performance requirements for tubes and rods. They include axial compressive strength or flexural strength, breakdown voltage in oil at 90 C, electric strength perpendicular to laminations in oil, insulation resistance after 24 h immersion in water, water absorption after 24 h immersion in water, and density.
In practice, these are the values used to judge whether a grade is suitable for load-bearing, insulating and moisture-exposed service.
Electric strength depends on wall thickness for tubes
Table 8 gives the electric strength requirement for rectangular moulded tubes perpendicular to laminations in oil at 90 C. The required level changes with wall thickness and with type.
That means the insulating performance of a tube is not treated as a single fixed value. The wall thickness is part of the acceptance decision.
Test methods are tied to IEC 62011-2
Clause 4 refers each property to a test subclause in IEC 62011-2, including dimensions, strength, electrical tests, water absorption and density. This gives a common test basis for manufacturers, laboratories and inspectors.
What terms does SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 define?
SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 relies on the terms and abbreviations from IEC 62011-1, and uses them consistently in the designation and tables.
- Industrial, rigid, moulded, laminated tubes and rods - the product family covered by the standard, made from thermosetting resin-based laminated material.
- Rectangular tube - a tube with a rectangular cross-section, identified by internal dimensions and wall thickness.
- Rectangular rod - a rod with a rectangular cross-section, identified by external dimensions.
- Hexagonal rod - a rod with a regular hexagonal cross-section, identified by the distance between opposing faces.
- Designation - the coded product identification used to specify the exact material and form.
- Reinforcement abbreviation - the code element that identifies the reinforcement in the designation.
- Finish letter - the final letter in the designation that identifies the finish.
Who uses SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004?
SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 is used by material manufacturers, electrical equipment designers, buyers, quality managers and test laboratories. They use it to specify grades, compare suppliers, check dimensions, and verify mechanical and electrical performance of insulating tubes and rods for electrical and electronic applications.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004?
The document depends on two companion parts:
- IEC 62011-1:2002 - gives definitions, designations and general requirements, and provides the designation method used in this part.
- IEC 62011-2 - gives the methods of test used to measure the dimensions and properties listed in Tables 2 to 8.
What does the SIST EN 62011-3-1:2004 document contain?
The document contains a grade table, designation rules, dimensional tolerances and property requirements for rectangular and hexagonal moulded tubes and rods. Table 1 summarizes the resin and reinforcement families and their typical uses. Tables 2 to 8 provide the acceptance data for dimensions, strength, electrical performance, water absorption and density. The document also includes designation examples and Annex ZA, which lists the normative references and their European equivalents.

The object of IEC is to promote internationalco-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and inaddition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,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 thispreparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordancewith 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 internationalconsensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from allinterested IEC National Committees.3)IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC NationalCommittees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IECPublications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for anymisinterpretation by any end user.4)In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publicationstransparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence betweenany IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.5)IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.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 andmembers of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage orother damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) andexpenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IECPublications.8)Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication.
