FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as IEC
Publication(s)). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.

International Standard IEC 62067 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20: Electric
cables.
This second edition of IEC 62067 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, and
its Amendment 1 (2006), and constitutes a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
addition of the extension of prequalification test, requiring significant less time to be

completed compared with the full prequalification test;
during the routine tests on the main insulation of prefabricated accessories the required
sensitivity level for the partial discharge test is reduced from 10 pC to 5 pC.

INTRODUCTION
As a result of major developments in cable systems with extruded insulation for voltages above
150 kV, CIGRE Study Committee (SC) 21 set up Working Group (WG) 21.03 in 1990. The
terms of reference of WG 21.03 were "to prepare recommendations for electrical type tests,
sample and routine tests, based on extending IEC 60840:1988 up to 400 kV and to make
proposals for prequalification/development tests which, as a minimum, should be performed ".
WG 21.03 reported that the extension of IEC 60840 to voltages above 150 kV needed extra
consideration because of the following factors:
such cables form part of the backbone of the transmission system and, therefore, reliability
considerations are of the highest priority;
these cables and their accessories operate with higher electrical stresses than cables up to
150 kV and, as a result, have a smaller safety margin with respect to the intrinsic
performance boundaries of the cable system;
such cables and accessories have a thicker insulation wall than those up to 150 kV and, as
a result, are subjected to greater thermomechanical effects;
the design and coordination of the cables and accessories becomes more difficult with
increasing system voltage levels.
The recommendations of the WG 21.03 were published in Electra No. 151 in December 1993
and taken into account by IEC in 1995 in the preparation of this standard for cable systems
with extruded insulation for voltages above 150 kV. IEC considered that the new standard
should also cover the 500 kV level. Thus, at its meeting in September 1996, CIGRE SC 21 set
up task force 21.18 to study the extension of the initial recommendations to the 500 kV level.
The updated recommendations were cited in Electra No. 193 in December 2000 and thus were
also taken into account by IEC Technical Committee (TC) 20 in the preparation of the first
edition of this standard.
On the advice of CIGRE, a long term accelerated ageing test was introduced in the first edition,
in order to gain some indication of the long term reliability of a cable system. This test, known
as the "prequalification test", was to be performed on the complete system comprising the
cable, joints and terminations in order to demonstrate the performance of the system.
In addition, CIGRE WG 21.09, published recommendations for tests after installation on highvoltage extruded insulation cable systems in Electra No 173 in August 1997. These
recommendations (which state, amongst other things, that d.c. tests should be avoided on the
main insulation, as they are both ineffective and potentially damaging) were also taken into
account in the first edition of this standard.
At its meeting in November 2004, TC 20 concluded that the next revision of IEC 62067 should
include the recommendation for testing of HV and EHV extruded cables that was under
preparation by the CIGRE SC B1 (previously SC 21) WG B1.06. This was made available as a
CIGRE Technical Brochure 303 before the meeting of TC 20 in October 2006, which confirmed
this view. Therefore Technical Brochure 303 has been considered by TC 20 and major parts
implemented in this standard. This has resulted in some modifications to the prequalification
test requirements, a major change being the addition of the extension of prequalification test.
The latter test requires approximately one quarter of the time to complete when compared with
the full prequalification test.
A list of relevant CIGRE references is given in the bibliography.
62067 IEC:2011

Scope
This International Standard specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems,
cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for fixed installations, for rated voltages
above 150 kV (U m = 170 kV) up to and including 500 kV (U m = 550 kV).
The requirements apply to single-core cables and to their accessories for usual conditions of
installation and operation, but not to special cables and their accessories, such as submarine
cables, for which modifications to the standard tests may be necessary or special test
conditions may need to be devised.
This standard does not cover transition joints between cables with extruded insulation and
paper insulated cables.

INTRODUCTION
En raison des dveloppements importants des rseaux de cbles isolation extrude pour
les tensions suprieures 150 kV, le Comit dtudes (CE) 21 de la CIGRE a constitu un
Groupe de Travail (GT) 21.03 en 1990, dont les termes de rfrence taient de prparer
des recommandations pour les essais de type lectriques, les essais sur prlvements et les
essais individuels, en tendant la norme CEI 60840:1988 jusqu 400 kV, et de faire des
propositions pour les essais de prqualification/dveloppement qui doivent tre effectus a
minima .
Le GT 21.03 a indiqu que lextension de la CEI 60840 aux tensions suprieures 150 kV
mritait une considration particulire en raison des facteurs suivants:
ces cbles constituent lun des lments essentiels des rseaux de transport et, par
consquent, les considrations de fiabilit sont de la plus haute importance;
ces cbles et leurs accessoires fonctionnent sous des contraintes lectriques suprieures
celles des cbles de tensions jusqu 150 kV et, de ce fait, ont une marge de scurit
plus restreinte par rapport la performance intrinsque des liaisons par cbles;
ces cbles et leurs accessoires ont une paisseur disolation plus forte que celle des
matriels jusqu 150 kV et sont donc soumis des contraintes thermomcaniques plus
fortes;
la conception et la compatibilit des cbles et de leurs accessoires deviennent plus

difficiles avec laccroissement des niveaux de tension des rseaux.
Les recommandations du GT 21.03 ont t publies dans Electra n151 en dcembre 1993 et
prises en compte par la CEI en 1995 dans la prparation de la prsente norme pour les
rseaux de cbles isolation extrude de tensions suprieures 150 kV. La CEI a cependant
considr que cette norme devrait aussi couvrir le niveau 500 kV. Ainsi, lors de sa runion de
septembre 1996, le SC 21 de la CIGRE a cr un groupe ad hoc 21.18 pour tudier
lextension des recommandations initiales au niveau 500 kV. Les recommandations mises
jour ont t exposes dans Electra n 193 en dcembre 2000 et ont alors, t galement
prises en compte par le Comit dtudes de la CEI 20 dans la prparation de la premire
dition de cette norme.
Sur avis de CIGRE, un essai de vieillissement acclr de longue dure avait t introduit
dans la premire dition, afin dobtenir des indications sur la fiabilit long terme dun rseau
de cbles. Cet essai dnomm essai de prqualification, devait tre effectu sur le
systme complet comprenant cble, jonctions et extrmits afin de dmontrer la performance
du systme.
En outre, le GT 21.09 de la CIGRE, dont la tche tait dtudier les essais aprs la pose des
rseaux de cbles haute tension isolation extrude, a publi ses recommandations dans
Electra n 173 en aot 1997. Celles-ci avaient galement t prises en compte dans la
premire dition de la prsente norme. Ces recommandations indiquent, entre autres, qu'il
convient que les essais sous tension continue soient vits sur lisolation principale car ils
sont la fois inefficaces et dangereux.
62067 CEI:2011
69
Lors de sa runion de novembre 2004, le TC 20 a dcid que la prochaine rvision de la

CEI 62067 devrait incorporer les recommandations dessais des cbles extruds HT et THT
que prparait le GT B1.06 du Comit Technique B1 (antrieurement appel SC 21). Ces
recommandations parurent sous forme dune Brochure Thmatique 303 avant la runion
doctobre 2006 du TC 20 qui confirma cette position. Pour cette raison, la Brochure
Thmatique 303 a t prise en compte par le TC 20 qui en a introduit d importantes parties
dans cette norme. Il en a rsult quelques modifications aux exigences dessai de
prqualification. Un changement majeur a t lajout de lessai dextension de
prqualification. Pour tre ralis compltement cet essai requiert approximativement le quart
du temps de lessai de prqualification dans son entiret.
Une liste des rfrences CIGRE appropries est donne dans la bibliographie.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as IEC
Publication(s)). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

DISCLAIMER
This Redline version is not an official IEC Standard and is intended only to provide the
user with an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Only
the current version of the standard is to be considered the official document.
This Redline version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes
between this standard and its previous edition. A vertical bar appears in the margin
wherever a change has been made. Additions and deletions are displayed in red, with
deletions being struck through.
International Standard IEC 62067 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20: Electric
cables.
This second edition of IEC 62067 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, and
its Amendment 1 (2006), and constitutes a technical revision.
62067 IEC:2011
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
addition of the extension of prequalification test, requiring significant less time to be

completed compared with the full prequalification test;
during the routine tests on the main insulation of prefabricated accessories the required
sensitivity level for the partial discharge test is reduced from 10 pC to 5 pC.
NOTE
For a more detailed history of events leading up to this second edition, see the Introduction.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
As a result of major developments in cable systems with extruded insulation for voltages above
150 kV, CIGRE Study Committee (SC) 21 set up Working Group (WG) 21.03 in 1990. The
terms of reference of WG 21.03 were "to prepare recommendations for electrical type tests,
sample and routine tests, based on extending IEC 60840:1988 up to 400 kV and to make
proposals for prequalification/development tests which, as a minimum, should be performed ".
WG 21.03 reported that the extension of IEC 60840 to voltages above 150 kV needed extra
consideration because of the following factors:
such cables form part of the backbone of the transmission system and, therefore, reliability
considerations are of the highest priority;
these cables and their accessories operate with higher electrical stresses than cables up to
150 kV and, as a result, have a smaller safety margin with respect to the intrinsic
performance boundaries of the cable system;
such cables and accessories have a thicker insulation wall than those up to 150 kV and, as
a result, are subjected to greater thermomechanical effects;
the design and coordination of the cables and accessories becomes more difficult with
increasing system voltage levels.
The recommendations of the WG 21.03 were published in Electra No. 151 in December 1993
and taken into account by IEC in 1995 in the preparation of this standard for cable systems
with extruded insulation for voltages above 150 kV. IEC considered that the new standard
should also cover the 500 kV level. Thus, at its meeting in September 1996, CIGRE SC 21 set
up task force 21.18 to study the extension of the initial recommendations to the 500 kV level.
The updated recommendations were cited in Electra No. 193 in December 2000 and again thus
were also taken into account by IEC Technical Committee (TC) 20 in the preparation of the first
edition of this standard.
Compared with IEC 60840 (1988), revised and published in 1999 as IEC 60840 edition 2, there
is a major difference On the advice of CIGRE, a long term accelerated ageing test was
introduced in the first edition, in order to gain some indication of the long term reliability of a
cable system. This test, known as the "prequalification test", was to be performed on the
complete system comprising the cable, joints and terminations in order to demonstrate the
performance of the system.
In addition, CIGRE WG 21.09, published recommendations for tests after installation on highvoltage extruded insulation cable systems in Electra No 173 in August 1997. These
recommendations (which state, amongst other things, that d.c. tests should be avoided on the
main insulation, as they are both ineffective and dangerous potentially damaging) were also
taken into account in the first edition of this standard. On the other hand, d.c. tests are
recommended on the oversheath.
At its meeting in November 2004, TC 20 concluded that the next revision of IEC 62067 should
include the recommendation for testing of HV and EHV extruded cables that was under
preparation by the CIGRE SC B1 (previously SC 21) WG B1.06. This was made available as a
CIGRE Technical Brochure 303 before the meeting of TC 20 in October 2006, which confirmed
this view. Therefore Technical Brochure 303 has been considered by TC 20 and major parts
implemented in this standard. This has resulted in some modifications to the prequalification
test requirements, a major change being the addition of the extension of prequalification test.
The latter test requires approximately one quarter of the time to complete when compared with
the full prequalification test.
A list of relevant CIGRE references is given in the bibliography.

Scope
This International Standard specifies test methods and requirements for power cable systems,
cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for fixed installations, for rated voltages
above 150 kV (U m = 170 kV) up to and including 500 kV (U m = 550 kV).
The requirements apply to single-core cables and to their accessories for usual conditions of
installation and operation, but not to special cables and their accessories, such as submarine
cables, for which modifications to the standard tests may be necessary or special test
conditions may need to be devised.
This standard does not cover transition joints between cables with extruded insulation and
paper insulated cables.
