Anotation

CORRECTED VERSION 2026-02 IEC 60112:2025 CMV contains both the official standard and its commented version. The commented version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between IEC 60112:2025 edition 6.0 and the previous IEC 60112:2020 edition 5.0. Furthermore, comments from IEC TC 112 experts are provided to explain the reasons of the most relevant changes, or to clarify any part of the content. IEC 60112:2025 specifies the method of test for the determination of the proof and comparative tracking indices of solid insulating materials on pieces taken from parts of equipment and on plaques of material using alternating voltage. This document provides a procedure for the determination of erosion when required. The proof tracking index is used as an acceptance criterion as well as a means for the quality control of materials and fabricated parts. The comparative tracking index is mainly used for the basic characterization and comparison of the properties of materials. This test method evaluates the composition of the material as well as the surface of the material being evaluated. Both the composition and surface condition directly influence the results of the evaluation and are considered when using the results in material selection process. The described test method is designed for a test voltage up to 600 V AC, because higher test voltages and DC voltage will lead to a reduced test severity. Test results are not directly suitable for the evaluation of safe creepage distances when designing electrical apparatus. The results of this method have been used for insulation coordination of equipment. It is important that use of these results also considers the overvoltage levels, creepage distances, and establishes the pollution degree to which the product insulation system will be expected to be subjected. This is in compliance with IEC 60664-1. This basic safety publication focusing on a safety test method is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of safety publications in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and lSO/lEC Guide 51. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - In 7.3, the term "resistivity" has been replaced by "conductivity". It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. The content of the corrigendum 1 (2026-02) has been included in this copy.
