scope:

This standard deals with silicone liquids to be used as insulating liquids in transformers and other electrical equipment. It comprises three sections as follows: - section One describes the silicone liquids and gives general guidance on their properties, safety, storage and disposal. It also gives requirements for packaging, labeling and sampling. - section Two describes the test methods that shall be employed to test the properties of silicone liquids. - Section Three specifies the required characteristics of a liquid polydimethylsiloxane primarily intended for use in transformers. Other specification sheets will be added when required.
