scope:

This standard applies to finished industrial fluids used in electrical transformers.

A transformer fluid that is intended for use in an application that allows for contamination of the certified fluid product with other fluids that are not certified is not eligible to be certified under this standard. Additionally, the use of a certified transformer fluid product in such an application will void the certification for that particular lot/batch of product.

This standard is intended to evaluate only those hazards investigated. Toxicity has not been evaluated.

Purpose

This standard states testing and certification requirements for the fire performance of transformer fluids.

Testing and certification criteria may include, but are not limited to, performance requirements, marking requirements, examination of manufacturing facility(ies), audit of quality assurance procedures, and a surveillance program.
