About This Item
IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008 is a supporting amendment to the parent document on magnetic materials, focused on methods of measuring magnetic properties of electrical steel strip and sheet by means of an Epstein frame. For organizations involved in material selection, laboratory evaluation, or procurement review, it provides a relevant technical reference for documenting measurement practice and maintaining consistency across testing workflows. IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008 is best viewed as a modification to the underlying technical document rather than a standalone specification.
Overview of IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008
This amendment is connected to IEC 60404-2:1996, which addresses how magnetic properties of electrical steel strip and sheet are measured using an Epstein frame. Its likely role is to update or refine the parent methodology so that engineering teams and laboratories can align test practice with the current published text. In technical review and conformity assessment work, the document supports a more controlled basis for comparison, documented evaluation, and compliance preparation when magnetic performance data must be assessed consistently.
Compliance applications of IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008
IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008 is relevant where electrical steel is specified, tested, or purchased for use in electromagnetic devices and related electrical equipment. It may be used by laboratories performing verification activities, by suppliers preparing product evaluation data, and by buyers checking whether test records follow the referenced methodology. In quality workflows, it can help support technical assessment of material data, reduce ambiguity in reporting, and improve traceability between measured results and the parent measurement method.
Importance of compliance with IEC 60404-2:1996/AMD1:2008
Using the amendment together with the parent document helps reduce risk in engineering and procurement decisions where magnetic property data influences design, performance criteria, or acceptance review. Consistent test interpretation is important for quality assurance, especially when results are used in conformity assessment or comparison between suppliers. For organizations that rely on documented evaluation, the reference can support technical validation, operational consistency, and clearer preparation for audits, specifications, and internal compliance workflows.
