The main changes from the previous edition are as follows:
a) All clauses re-numbered.
b) Relevant template of ISO 67 has been added to this standard as Annex A.
c) Clause 8: Tensile strength and elongation at break
Procedure modified to give "rate of movement" instead of "time limit". Different rate of movement for raw mica as opposed to reinforced and/or impregnated mica.
d) Clause 11: Stiffness
Size of test specimen revised. Wording modified so that standard covers materials using carriers other than woven glass cloth and materials that are 3-ply. Revision of terms ""machine direction" and "transverse direction". (These were incorrect in second edition (1987).)
e) Clause 13: Elastic compression and plastic compression
Tolerance on measurement of height of stack changed to within 0,01 mm.
Times for change in pressure in procedure changed to 1 min.
f) Clause 16: Electric strength
Modified in line with Amendment 1 (1994) to the second edition (1987). Changes relate to latest edition of IEC 60243-1.
g) Clause 19: Detection of defects and conductive particles
Revised subclause.
