This Indian Standard (Part 3/Sec 8) which is identical with IEC 60371-3-8 : 1995 ‘Insulating materials based on mica - Part 3: Specifications for individual materials - Sheet 8: Mica paper tapes for flame-resistant security cables’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Solid Electrical Insulating Materials and Insulating Systems Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.

This standard is a part of series of standards based on IEC 60371 series. The committee has now decided to adopt the IEC Standard to harmonize it with the latest developments taken place at international level.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
