IEC 60811-507:2012 gives the procedure for the hot set test, which typically applies to cross-linkable compounds used for insulating and sheathing materials. IEC 60811-507:2012 cancels and replaces Clause 9 of IEC 60811-2-1:1998, which is withdrawn. Full details of the replacements are shown in Annex A of IEC 60811-100:2012. There are no specific technical changes with respect to the previous edition, but see the Foreword to IEC 60811-100:2012.[ ] This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60811-100:2012.
