Overview

EN 60893-3-1:2012 (IEC 60893-3-1:2012) is the CLC-adopted European version of the international standard that defines the types of industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes. This Part 3‑1 sheet specifies the designation and classification of laminate types (resin + reinforcement combinations) used as insulating materials in electrical, electronic and mechanical applications. It replaces the 2004 edition and includes new material types introduced in the related Part 3‑2 work.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Provides requirements for various laminate materials; detailed properties for each material are given in the subsequent Part 3 specification sheets. Users are advised to select materials based on application needs, not on the specification alone.
  • Type classification: Defines laminate types by resin and reinforcement combinations (see Table 1). Common resin abbreviations include:
    • EP (Epoxy), PF (Phenolic), MF (Melamine), UP (Unsaturated polyester), SI (Silicone), PI (Polyimide)
    • CR denotes combination reinforcements
  • Reinforcement abbreviations: CC (woven cotton cloth), CP (cellulosic paper), GC (woven glass cloth), GM (glass mat), PC (woven polyester cloth), WV (wood veneers)
  • Application characteristics: For each type the standard describes distinguishing features such as mechanical strength, electrical stability in humidity, tracking and arc resistance, flammability, thermal endurance, and suitability for machining or small parts.
  • Normative references: Cross-references the IEC/EN 60893 series, notably IEC 60893-3-2 for epoxy-laminate requirements and other parts for definitions, test methods and typical values.
  • Technical change: Addition of new material types aligned with updates in Part 3‑2.

Applications

EN 60893-3-1 supports selection and specification of insulating laminated sheets for:

  • Electrical components (busbars, insulators, switchgear parts)
  • Electronic substrates and mounting panels requiring stable dielectric properties
  • Mechanical parts where combined electrical insulation and structural strength are needed
  • High-voltage and oil-filled equipment (where specific laminate types offer higher dielectric strength)
  • Components requiring tracking/arc resistance, low flammability or precision machinability

Who should use this standard

  • Material and laminate manufacturers
  • Electrical/electronic component designers and engineers
  • Test laboratories and quality assurance teams
  • Procurement and specification writers in power, electronics and industrial sectors
  • Regulatory and certification bodies referencing harmonized material types

Related standards

  • EN/IEC 60893-1 (Definitions, designations, general requirements)
  • EN/IEC 60893-2 (Methods of test)
  • EN/IEC 60893-3-2 (Requirements for epoxy-based laminates)
  • EN/IEC 60893-4 (Typical values)

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
