We believe it may be helpful to draw your attention to a new standard (valid from March 2014) marking an important step in the transformer and insulating oil scene: IEC 62701*. This standard defines the requisites and methods for the collection, treatment and recycling of mineral insulating oils for transformers, switchgears and other equipment that uses mineral oil as an insulatorRead more

PCB classified carcirogenic by IARC On 10th April, 2013 the IARC*, the International Organism for the Cancer Research of the United Nations, modified the classification of the PCBs agent, changing it from Group 2A to Group 1. This means that the PCBs, which prior to 10th April 2013 were considered “probable carcinogenic” are today included within the “carcinogenic for human beings”.
