TS EN 60674-1

TS EN 60674-1 defines the terminology and the general requirements for plastic films intended for electrical purposes. As the first part of the series, it establishes the common framework for describing and supplying these films, so manufacturers, suppliers and users can refer to the same product features in a consistent way.

How the document frames the product

Plastic films used for electrical purposes are thin polymer materials employed in insulation and related electrotechnical applications. In this field, terminology matters because features such as film thickness, rolls, joins, cores and dimensions affect handling, conversion and suitability in use. This standard provides a shared vocabulary for those basic product characteristics.

According to the scope, the document covers general requirements for quality, rolls, joins, cores, dimensions, packaging and labelling. In practical terms, that makes it useful for understanding how the product is identified and supplied. In polymer film applications, packaging and marking are especially important for protecting the material in storage and helping it reach the intended electrical application.

• Roll and core terminology describes the form in which the film is wound and shipped.
• Joins are splice points that may occur in continuous production or large rolls.
• Dimensional information is considered together with the film’s electrical and mechanical behaviour.
• Packaging and labelling support correct identification and use.
