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. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: the document was updated including new thicknesses and relevant values as from Table 1.

Specifies requirements for the electroacoustical performance of systems of instruments used to measure sound for the purposes of aeroplane noise certification, and recommends methods by which tests may be made periodically to verify that the performance continues to comply with the requirements given within stated tolerances. The requirements apply to the instruments used to measure the sound produced by jet-or propeller-driven transport-category aeroplanes of maximum certificated takeoff mass over 9 000 kg, or their propulsion systems when installed on a suitable outdoor engine test stand.[

IEC 60684-3-283:2010 gives the requirements for two types of heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving for bus-bar insulation, with a nominal shrink ratio of 2,5:1. This sleeving has been found suitable up to temperatures of 100 °C.
- Type A: Medium wall Internal diameter up to 170,0 mm typically
- Type B: Thick wall Internal diameter up to 165,0 mm typically.

IEC 60684-3-214:2013 gives the requirements for two types of heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, not flame retarded, thick and medium wall with a nominal shrink ratio of 3:1. This sleeving has been found suitable for use at temperatures of up to 100 °C.
Type A: Medium wall - internal diameter up to 200 mm typically;
Type B: Thick wall - internal diameter up to 200 mm typically. These sleevings are normally supplied in colour black. Since these types of sleevings cover a significantly large range of sizes and wall thicknesses, Tables A.1 and A.2 of this document provides a guide to the range of sizes available. The actual size will be agreed between the user and supplier. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: Alignment with IEC 60684-3-247 (dual wall) since this Part 3 specification represents a single wall option using identical material. Keywords: heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving

IEC/TR 62655:2013 provides information for understanding the construction, operation and application of high-voltage fuses in general. Current-limiting, expulsion, electronic, and other, non-current-limiting, fuses rated above 1 kV a.c. are all covered, as are North American, European and other application practices. As a technical report, this document contains no requirement and is informative only. Key words: high-voltage fuses

IEC 61212-3-1:2013 gives requirements for industrial rigid round laminated rolled tubes for electrical purposes, based on different resins and different reinforcements. Applications and distinguishing properties are given in Table 1. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Details of test for insulation resistance after immersion in water and values for permissible deviation from nominal external diameter of round rolled tubes in the "as rolled and cured" condition are changed. Key words: industrial rigid round laminated rolled tubes

IEC 61212-3-2:2013 gives requirements for industrial rigid round laminated moulded tubes for electrical purposes, based on different resins and different reinforcements. Applications and distinguishing properties are given in Table 1. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Details of test for insulation resistance after immersion in water are changed. Key words: industrial rigid round laminated moulded tubes

IEC 60455-3-8:2013 gives the requirements for resins for power cable accessories which conform to this specification and meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not on this specification alone. Key words: requirements for resins for power cable accessories

Describes the voltage endurance graph, lists test methods illustrating their limitations, and gives guidance for evaluating the a.c. voltage endurance of insulating materials from the results of the tests.

IEC 60893-3-1:2012 provides requirements for various materials. Their properties are given in subsequent Part 3 specification sheets. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: addition of new material types according to the third edition of IEC 60893-3-2 (in preparation). Keywords: industrial rigid laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins.
