  • Term
    Definition
  • Applies to electrical and electronic equipment associated with semiconductor fabrication equipment for the manufacture, measurement, assembly, and test of semiconductors. It is applicable to the electrical equipment or parts of the electrical equipment that operate with nominal supply voltages(...)
  • IEC 60269-1:2006+A1:2009+A2:2014 is applicable to fuses incorporating enclosed current-limiting fuse-links with rated breaking capacities of not less than 6 kA, intended for protecting power-frequency a.c. circuits of nominal voltages not exceeding 1 000 V or d.c. circuits of nominal voltages(...)
  • IEC 60282-1:2009+A1:2014 applies to all types of high-voltage current-limiting fuses designed for use outdoors or indoors on alternating current systems of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and of rated voltages exceeding 1 000 V.
  • IEC 60287-1-1:2006+A1:2014 Applicable to the conditions of steady-state operation of cables at all alternating voltages, and direct voltages up to 5 kV, buried directly in the ground, in ducts, troughs or in steel pipes, both with and without partial drying-out of the soil, as well as cables in air.
  • IEC 60297-3-108:2014 provides dimensions and features for R-type subracks and plug-in units, i.e. ruggedized variants of the mechanical structures of the 482,6 mm (19 in) series, with enhanced vibration and shock resistance and/or improved EMC performance, for use in more harsh environment.
  • Deals with the definition and the characteristics of control systems. It is not limited to the actual controller tasks but also includes other tasks which may be assigned to a control system, such as sequence control tasks, safety and provision for the actuating energy.
  • Recommends a limited family of preferred standard coaxial connectors for nuclear laboratory instruments. Applies to coaxial connectors for electrical instruments used in nuclear laboratories.
  • Lays down standard requirements and gives examples of acceptable methods, and also specifies general characteristics, general test conditions, radiation characteristics, electrical safety, environmental characteristics, and the requirements of the identification certificate for alpha, beta and(...)
  • Specifies the test apparatus and procedure and gives the performance requirements, including recommended flame application times, for low voltage power cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and control cables with a rated voltage which are required to maintain circuit(...)
  • Specifies the test apparatus and procedure and gives the performance requirements, including recommended flame application times, for low-voltage power cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and control cables with a rated voltage which are required to maintain circuit(...)
  • Specifies the test apparatus and procedure and gives the performance requirements, including recommended flame application times, for low-voltage power cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV, and control cables with a rated voltage which are required to maintain circuit(...)
  • Specifies the test apparatus to be used for testing cables required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire alone when the test condition is based upon a flame with a controlled heat output corresponding to a temperature of at least 750 °C. Provides the method of verification of the(...)
  • Specifies the test procedure and gives the performance requirement, including a recommended flame application time, for cables of rated voltages up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV required to maintain circuit integrity when subjected to fire under specified conditions. Describes the means of(...)
  • Specifies the test procedure and gives the performance requirement, including a recommended flame application time, for electric data cables required to maintain circuit integrity when subjected to fire under specified conditions. Describes the means of sample preparation, continuity checking(...)
  • Specifies the test procedure and gives the performance requirement, including a recommended flame application time, for optical fibre cables required to maintain circuit integrity when subjected to fire under specified conditions. Describes the means of sample preparation, continuity checking(...)
  • Specifies the test apparatus for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions. The procedure, together with an informative annex of recommended requirements for performance, is(...)
  • Specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions. The apparatus is given in IEC 60332-1-1.
  • Specifies a test procedure for assessment of falling flaming droplets/ particles when a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, is subjected to defined fire conditions.
  • Specifies the test apparatus for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single small vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions. The procedure, together with an informative annex of recommended requirements for(...)
  • Specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single small vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical cable, under fire conditions. The apparatus is given in IEC 60332-2-1. This standard gives the procedure for testing small optical(...)
