Overview
EN IEC 60674-3-2:2019 (CLC adoption of IEC 60674-3-2:2019) specifies requirements for balanced biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films used for electrical insulation. It is part of the IEC 60674 series on plastic films for electrical purposes and replaces earlier editions. The document sets out material classification, designation, general requirements, dimensional limits and the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties needed for PET insulating films.
Safety warning: It is the responsibility of the user of the methods contained or referred to in this document to ensure that they are used in a safe manner.
Key Topics
The standard covers testable and verifiable requirements organized into clear topics:
- Scope & classification - defines film types and intended electrical insulation applications.
- Designation - how films are identified for procurement and specification.
- Dimensions - requirements for thickness, width and roll diameter/film length.
- Physical properties - properties independent of thickness and those dependent on thickness (tables list required characteristics for different types).
- Electrical performance - AC electric strength testing for all types and DC testing plus electrical weak‑spot criteria for specific types.
- Thermal and environmental resistance - thermal endurance, temperature and hydrolysis resistance (environmental test references included).
- Roll characteristics - windability (bias/camber and sag), joins, roll/core requirements and tolerance between film and roll widths.
- Normative references - links to IEC 60674-1, IEC 60674-2 (methods of test) and environmental test standards (e.g., IEC 60068-2-67).
Note: the 2019 edition introduces technical revisions including additional film types and expanded thickness ranges.
Applications
This standard is practical for:
- Manufacturers of PET insulating films who need to certify product compliance.
- Electrical equipment designers and engineers specifying insulation materials for capacitors, transformers, motors, cables and other high-voltage or precision applications.
- Quality assurance and testing laboratories that perform the standardized electrical, thermal and dimensional tests.
- Procurement teams and standards writers who create material specifications and purchase orders for electrical insulation films.
- Certification and conformity assessment bodies assessing compliance with European and international electrotechnical norms.

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.
