DIN EN IEC 60893-2:2024-09

This part of IEC 60893 describes test methods for panels made of engineering laminates for electrical purposes. The materials are defined in IEC 60893-1. Materials that comply with this standard meet recognized requirement levels. However, the selection of a material by a user for a particular application should be based on the actual requirements for adequate performance in that application and not on this standard alone. The standard differs from DIN EN 60893-2 (VDE 0318-2):2005-02 as follows: a) removal of reference to withdrawn specification IEC 60167:1964; b) inclusion of reference to IEC 62631-3-3:2015, which supersedes IEC 60167:1964. Details in 6.3 have been updated accordingly. The actual performance of the test has not changed; c) normative references have been updated. Typical examples of applications for this document are panels made of technical laminates manufactured with one of the following binding resins: epoxy, melamine, phenolic, polyimide, silicone, and unsaturated polyester resin.
