1 Scope
This part of IEC 60684 gives methods of test for flexible insulating sleeving, including heat-shrinkable
sleeving, intended primarily for insulating electrical conductors and connections
of electrical apparatus, although they can be used for other purposes.
The tests specified are designed to control the quality of the sleeving but it is
recognized that they do not completely establish the suitability of sleeving for impregnation
or encapsulation processes or for other specialized applications. Where necessary,
the test methods in this document will be supplemented by appropriate impregnation
or compatibility tests to suit the individual circumstances.
