JWG 34 - TC 27/JWG 34

IEC/IEEE 62395-2:2024 provides detailed recommendations for the system design, installation, maintenance and repair of electrical resistance trace heating systems in industrial and commercial applications. This document does not include or provide for any applications in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC 62395-2:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This standard includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62395-2:2013:
a) Design considerations for trace heating on sprinkler systems have been expanded and a figure has been added to illustrate how to avoid undue shadowing of spray patterns from insulated sprigs close to sprinkler heads;
b) Specific details of design considerations for trace heating for emergency eyewash units and safety showers have been added.
This document is published as an IEC/IEEE Dual Logo standard.

IEC/IEEE 62395-1:2024 specifies requirements for electrical resistance trace heating systems and includes general test requirements.
This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes, apart from general revisions of IEC 62395-1 and harmonization with IEEE 515 [1] and IEEE 515.1 [2], with respect to the previous edition:
a) Added control and monitoring requirements for fire sprinkler systems and safety showers.
b) Provided a supplemental ice bath method for verification of rated output.
c) Provided constructional and type test requirements for glands used to terminate heating devices to an exposed enclosure.
