It is the responsibility of IEEE Technical Committees to prepare functional Test Procedures for the thermal evaluation and classification of the insulation systems used in electric equipment. These Test Procedures involve accelerated thermal aging based on conditions of use and specify tests that the Committees deem pertinent. The objective of these Test Procedures is to provide for the classification of insulation systems for electric equipment in accordance with their temperature limits by test rather than by chemical composition of the component materials of the system. It is recognized that a given insulation system may be used under different conditions...

Test procedures for the thermal evaluation of insulation systems for electric and electronic equipment should include introductory remarks necessary for a clear understanding of the objectives of the particular tests with respect to the industry served and of the special requirements that exist. If any different or new concepts of insulation behavior, or use, are embodied in a Test Procedure,they should be clearly stated. Technical Committees should attempt to assure that each Test Procedure: (a) gives statistically consistent results, (b) provides data free from bias of the tester, (c) includes, if models are used, results of these models representative of ...
