IEC 61039 pdf – Classification of insulating liquids
1Scope
This International Standard establishes the detailed classification of the N family (insulating liquids) that belongs to class L (lubricants, industrial oils and related products) in accordancewith IS0 8681 and lSO 6743-99, affecting product categories that include products derived
from petroleum processing, synthetic chemical products and synthetic and natural esters.

3lso classification system
ISO 8681 sets out the main rules of the classification system that applies to petroleumproducts,lubricants and related products.
ISO 8681 suggests, as far as possible, to choose the application field as the main principle forthe classification of petroleum products, lubricants,and related products. It also suggestsclassifying on the basis of the product typology, e.g. fuels are classified first of all on thebasis of typology and secondly on the basis of end use.
The lSO classification principle is based on the allocation of a code consisting of letters andnumbers for the main classes and categories of petroleum products.
The complete nomination consists of:
– the initials “ISO”;
– the class of the petroleum product or related product, indicated by a letter (see Table 1),
which has to be clearly separated from the other symbols;
the category, indicated by a group of letters ranging from 1 to 4, the first one alwaysidentifying the family to which it belongs and the others assuming a meaning.
appropriately explained in the reference standard,which depends on the particularcategory of concerned products;
(optional) some numbers, which can be added, to complete the nomination and that havea meaning appropriately explained in the reference standard for that particular category ofproducts.
ln compliance with ISO 8681, the code should have the following general form:
ISo- CLAss – CATEGORY -(eventual)NUMBERS
or the short form:
CLAsS – CATEGORY -(eventual)NUMBERS
4Classification of insulating liquids
ln accordance with lSO 8681, the classification system indicates the products with anomination that includes:
– the abbreviation “ISO””;
the class of the petroleum products or related products is indicated by a letter that in thisstandard has the meaning defined in Table 1;
the category is indicated by four letters whose meaning is explained in 4.2;- a seven-figure number that makes up the identification code (described in 4.3).
