0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 7 August 1985, after the draft finalized by the
Solid Electrical Insulating Materials Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1958. Its revision was under-
taken to bring it in line with the latest IEC Publication 85 ( 1984 ).
0.4 This revision does not include any material as was given in Table 1
of its earlier version.
O.!j This revision does not relate to the definitions of classes to specific
materials as has been the case. In the field of electrical insulation, no
general classification of materials or systems according to generic type or
chemica) identity is justified. Alternative approaohes, such as compilation
of data for insulating materials according to IS : 8504* are being
considered.
0.6 This revision gives basic guidance and makes it clear that the
technocrats following this guidance are responsible for preparing the
particular requirements for insulating materials and insulation systems
used in their products. These technocrats shall make use of appropriate
standards prepared by ISI.
0.7 In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from
IEC Publication 85 ( 1984 ) ‘Thermal evaluation and classification of

2.2.4 Other Factors of lnjluence - Apart from thermal factors, the ability
of insulation to continue to fulfil its function is influenced by such
conditions as mechanical stresses imposed upon it and its supporting
structure, and by such factors as vibration and differential thermal
-expansion which may become of increasing importance as the size of the
product increases. Moisture in the atmosphere and the presence of dirt,
chemicals, or other contaminants may ‘have injurious effects. All such
factors should be taken into account when designing particular products
and further guidance on this aspect may be found in IS : 11182
( Part 1 )-1984*.

user of such materials should satisfy himself that they are suitable in
the above respect for the duties to be imposed to them.
3.1 Many insulating materials of the same generic type are available in
a number of variants of different thermal endurance capability.
Therefore, the generic chemical designation of insulating materials is
inadequate to characterize their thermal capabilities.
