This standard BS EN 60371-3-5:2006 Insulating materials based on mica is classified in these ICS categories:
13.110 Safety of machinery
35.100.05 Multilayer applications
29.020 Electrical engineering in general
29.035.50 Mica based materials
29.035.10 Paper and board insulating materials
It addresses the application of closed serial digital communications systems (often termed fieldbuses) used for transmission of safety-related data in the realisation of safety functions at machinery. It offers guidance on the issues that need to be considered during the specification, system design, installation, commissioning, modification and maintenance of such applications. It assumes that the SRECS safety requirements specification (SRS) has been developed and the design of the SRECS (Safety-Related Electrical Control Systems) is intended to include a safety-related communication system. This Technical Report is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 62061.
