BS EN 60544-4:2003

What is BS EN 60544-4 - Classification system for service in radiation environments about?     

BS EN 60544 discusses electrical insulating materials.  

BS EN 60544-4 is the fourth part of the BS EN 60544 multi-series and discusses the classification system for service in radiation environments.   

BS EN 60544-4 is a part of IEC 60544 and provides a classification system that serves as a guide for the selection and indexing of insulating materials intended to serve in the radiation environment of nuclear reactor facilities, reactor fuel-processing facilities, irradiation facilities, particle accelerators, and X-ray apparatus. 

Who is BS EN 60544-4 - Classification system for service in radiation environments material for?    

BS EN 60544-4 on classification system for service in radiation environments is useful for:     

• Electrical components manufacturers  
• Insulation material manfuacturers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 60544-4- Classification system for service in radiation environments material?     

The classification system provides a set of parameters defining the utility of the three types of polymeric materials (rigid plastics, flexible plastics, elastomers) for use in devices which are exposed to ionizing radiation.    

BS EN 60544-4 guidelines outline the basis for a quantitative statement of the suitability of such materials for radiation environments and therefore provide a guide for material specifications and for procurement agreements between suppliers and users.
