Description / Abstract:
This Part of IEC 60544 specifies the controls maintained over
the exposure conditions during and after the irradiation of
insulating materials with ionizing radiation prior to the
determination of radiation-induced changes in physical or chemical
properties.
This standard specifies a number of potentially significant
irradiation conditions as well as various parameters which can
influence the radiation-induced reactions under these
conditions.
The objective of this standard is to emphasize the importance of
selecting suitable specimens, exposure conditions and test methods
for determining the effect of radiation on appropriately chosen
properties. Since many materials are used either in air or in inert
environments, standard exposure conditions are recommended for both
of these situations.
It should be noted that this standard does not consider
measurements which are performed during the irradiation.
